[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thanks for all the thoughtful responses.

A couple things to clear up - my health is fine now thanks to medication that should work for many years to come. However, things could decline when I get into my 60s which is the natural progression of the disease. But there could also be more medical advancements over the next 20 years, who knows. I certainly hope so.

I am not looking for my child to take care of me, its more that I don’t want her to be alone or feel burdened. I do have excellent long term care so that isn’t a an issue. It’s more the emotional toll she could have to bear alone.

Maybe seeking out therapy for myself is my best option. As I mentioned, I have no interest in forcing or tricking him into having another.

In terms of what is so much work for him - he comes from a very old school family where his mom did everything related to him and his brother and I think he truly never realized that in today’s society co-parenting is expected.[/quote]

Oh so he’s lazy. That’s not a valid reason. [/quote]
You don’t need a “valid” reason not to want a (or another) kid.[/quote]
