[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he ok with putting kids in daycare when you have 2 kids, but not with 1 kid.
None of this makes sense.[/quote]

OP here. Our child is a little over a year. He was in daycare but then the pandemic hit and we had to pull him out. We are currently trying for another baby. He is hoping the pandemic will be over in the next year and daycare will be safe. I know daycares are taking proper precautions and I feel it’s safe. [/quote]

Don't have another kid now unless you're completely okay with giving up your career [/quote]

OP, this is excellent advice.

There is no universe in which you will have to show up for your child when things get difficult. Daycares don't work out, schools don't always work out, children get sick, they need testing, the they-needs go on forever and you will be the first responder to any kids' needs. It gets harder as they get older, not easier, and much more expensive. Do not try for a second until you can both be happy with the situation that you have with the first. This dynamic never gets easier and your DH does not deserve to be vilified from the few posts I've read. Realism is needed here and rushing into a second when you are still in disagreement with the first is not wise.[/quote]
