[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right.  Like I said being against formula was my fault.

There is just a lot of emphasis on the value of breastmilk now that [b]it was a big deal for me with the first kid[/b].

Knowing what I know now, was perfectly willing to use forumula with our second kid and now know the importance of just making sure that the  baby gets fed.

But at the hospital the nurses didn't care.  They would wake her up every couple of hours and force her to feed the baby.[/quote]

Oh, wow. I was sympathetic to you until I got to this point. You sound controlling and creepy as hell. Forcing your wife to breastfeed because YOU (a man who will not be breastfeeding, who will not have to deal with the pain and sleeplessness and using your body for this) thought it was best? What on earth! And I say it as a woman who breastfed her children quite happily. UGH.

Presuming the rest of your stuff is accurate, your wife seems to be career-oriented and not interested in children. There is nothing you can do to change it. If she hasn't by now, she is not suddenly going to discover 'mommy genes.' You should seriously consider if the children will be better with you as a single parent or if your current situation is bearable.[/quote]
