[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus Christ WHY IS IT SO HARD the chime in and say "Yeah I have one. It's great. It's pretty chill. You will likely grow to love your little family."

I will. It's fine.

I am in your situation and though sometimes I think I would be happy to be surprise-pregnant I really have grown to like and treasure my life as a family of 3. I've had your thoughts and there's NO POINT in contemplating divorce or anything like that. Best case scenario is you fine yourself with a new wife and new kid(s).  Aaaaaand in the process totally screwed your first kid. Why would you do that? Can you picture how Christmas and stuff would work in 10 years? --you wouldn't want it. Right?

How old's your kid? I guarantee you when school starts you will be in a new place. [/quote]

Of course having a one child family is fine and often desirable.  And there are lots of benefits to being on only kid - more/better trips, less financial stress, more one on one time with parents, social butterflys with peers, etc...

No one is saying that is not the case.  But of the Op wants more than one, now is the time to calmy speak up and delve into the pros/cons with his wife.  Op will feel better about this decision if it is a mutual decision.[/quote]
