Lou-Li-Ro`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll Ugh, me and my SO had a bit of a row today - it was about having another baby in the future. I had thought we would have one in a few years (our twins are only 18 months now) and was happy at the thought of it. Today we were talking about babies because my cousin visited with her newborn. Afterwards he came out with; `Let`s NOT have any more. I`ve decided`. I felt a bit gutted. I realised I really do want another one in a few years. He says let`s talk about it in a few years and that he doesn`t want to feel under pressure now because we get NO time to ourselves. Do you think he`ll change his mind in the future or does it sound like he has just `decided`?

Yup, sounds like he's decided he doesn't want any more. At least you have a son and daughter already!
He's probably just a bit wound-up and tired out from two toddlers and also you had them accidentally so it's all been very overwhelming so fingers crossed he'll change his mind!!
Hm, dunno, could go either way! Just cool off and see what happens in a few years...

While I was pregnant I swore my next child would be adopted and I would never have another biological child again. Things change with time. Now I desperately want three children, I would like to adopt one, but I also want to relive pregnancy and birth :)

i swore i didnt want anymore after i had my daughter and here i am pregnant again 7 years later. anything can happen. its not something i would push on him right now. i would just let it go and see what happens. i was seriously adamant no more babies. but like i said things changed for me, and so did my desire to have one more. he doesnt sound totally set in his way by what youre saying, i would definatly wait a little bit longer. maybe when the twins start preschool or nursery school. or maybe before, you never know.

Since the two of u had decided before to wait for a few years till u have another baby, I say don`t bring up the topic until a year or two from now. Chances are he might change his mind by then. He`s probably just overwhelmed with everything now. If it were me I`d just totally `forget` about it n casually broach on the issue a year later. Cos the more I talk abt it with him the more irritated he`ll be n that would for sure ruin our chances in the future.

The same thing happened with me and my husband before, once i start mentioning babies he feels very pressured that i am going to want another one right away, when the only real thing i want is for him to leave the option open for us, he kept saying no more kids no more kids after our first and our second child, i have learned that if i stop bugging him about it and not make it too serious he will open up, he is now saying he is considering a third child in the next few years which is great cause now that he has said that i have not had the desire to talk about it again anytime soon, which in turn is making us less stressed out about that subject. I think your husband is probably feeling pressured because you already have 18 month old twins and you just saw a newborn, which probably makes him think you will want another one sooner than later. I say drop the subject for awhile and then bring it up casually later (when there are no new babies around) lol he will come around i`m sure. Good Luck! :-)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
