[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never regretted having a third but my husband has.  Our lives have become significantly more chaotic with a third and we both lost most of our last remaining free time.  I'm okay with that because I always wanted three kids and I LOVE young children.  My husband was perfectly fulfilled with two kids and so he's more aware that the chaos that now rules our lives was completely optional and while he makes the most of things and is a great dad he wishes we had stopped at two.  Life would have been much, much easier!

This is pretty much what our situation would be like, but reversed. DH is the one wanting more, and I'm the one that is resisting, afraid that I might be a less patient, more resentful mom to all three kids if we added another one. I have worked hard and dug deep to find reserves of patience and wisdom, and I feel like I have finally found a precarious balance that would be upset all over again with another baby. Add to the fact that I am the primary caregiver, working P/T b/c DH has crazy hours and a lot of travel, I feel like it's easy for him to want another one, he's rarely around anyway. But alas, I am only speculating, because so far we agreed to wait and see - mostly to wait and see if I would change my mind. I also worry about my age (38) and the possibility of complications (already had 2 c-sections and a difficult second pregnancy). So that's our (my) dilemma.[/quote]

So basically he wants to create s to create extra work for you?

He is m-i-a  working while you do the hard work, hands on of child raising?
