[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it you think that the husband's resentment at having another child is Oh So the Most Important Thing in the  Universe, but the wife's resentment at being forced into barrenness is just like a pimple - easily dismissed and unseemly to complain about? You want to talk about effect on the child? What about the effect on the first child, who is being denied siblings and forced to grow into loneliness?  I can just see the conversation ten years from now:

"Mommy, how come everyone has brothers and sisters and I don't?"

"Because daddy thought that would be too much responsibility so he forced mommy not to have any more children."[/quote]

Forced into barrenness?

Being denied siblings?

Grow into loneliness?

Forced mommy not to have any more children?

Uh, project much?[/quote]
I'm not the OP. I wrote what describes my situation.  I am not sure why you think projecting is a bad thing when we all clearly have just our own experience to go on.  It's impossible for it not to color our perception so I don't have a problem with projecting. Besides, some of it is describing, not projecting.[/quote]

With this attitude, theonly response will be, "because your father and I got divorced."  Seriously, if you would dump that resentment on a child, you are probably a major nightmare in other areas, too. [/quote]
