[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the background - DW and I have been married for over 10 years.  We have a beautiful 12 year old girl.  My wife has intimated over the years that she wants another child, however I have backed off from this because I basically see that DW has never been able to adequately manage being a parent.  Everything is a crisis or drama, she tends to treat DD as some extension of her self and channels all of her fears, frustrations and needs for perfection into her child rearing.  It makes me and DD crazy!

I have told DW that she needs to seek therapy to deal with her negative parenting issues, but she refuses.  So, I have told her that I will not even seriously consider another child because she has shown me that she can barely manage the one we have and that it would not be good to bring another child into her crazy-making world.  It is bad enough that DD has to suffer her mother's mood swings, her screaming and crying fits, etc.

Well, the other day DW is in a crying fit to me telling me how much she "needs" another baby and that it is my duty to provide her with one.  Uhm, no, sorry dear, it is not my duty.  You get healthy first, then we can discuss it.  [/quote]

You judgmental fuck. I hope she leaves you[/quote]
