[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also - what specific reasons has he given for not wanting another?[/quote]

Well our youngest is 4.5. She can dress herself now, feed herself, she's obviously potty trained, she STTN. We like to travel and that's much easier now. We can go out to eat and it's easy. We can sleep in a bit on the weekends because they entertain each other in the mornings, so that's nice. I concede that all of that is true and it IS nice. I understand where he's coming from with that.

However, like I tell him, it's really only two years that things are hard. Two years in the grand scheme of a long life is nothing. We'll be back here again before he knows it. It's a very short term sacrifice for long term gain.[/quote]
OP, I do feel for you, but you are not listening to your DH's concerns at all.

Also, you're saying you want another child because you're not done with the baby stage, but you're telling DH that it's only two years. So, which is it - you want more time in the baby stage, or the baby stage is a blip?

If I were your partner, I'd be afraid that agreeing to have a 4th would turn into "I need a 5th!" in two years.
