DH and I have two lovely sons aged 6 and 3. We are very fortunate in that our lifestyle as a family is comfortable- whilst we are not rolling in money, we don't do too badly.
I would love another baby, DH has always known that for me ds2 didn't feel like the last one. Whilst he says he would like to add to our family, he says he is not prepared to make sacrifices to our lifestyle to achieve it. I dont think we would need to- we would need to save a bit first for when I am on maternity leave from my pt job, and the nursery years might be a bit tight, but we manage now with nursery fees and ds2 will start school next sept so we wouldn't have 2 in nursery at the same time. I would downsize the whole shebang if it meant we could afford another baby- which is of course a moot point- but dh is just not willing. This is his dream house (I do love it too but for me,although it is our family home, it's just a thing and wherever we are together then that would be home too) but I am soooo longing for one more snuffly little bundle to snuggle up to me in the wee hours.
I know it would be unreasonable if me to expect dh to wantto move from his dream but this is my dream too and for me, dreams about family and feelings and love are more important than dreams about owning things. We aren't really trying to "trump" each others dreams in this but AIBU feeling so ao broody that I want to trample all over dh's needs? I am aren't I. Bugger.
