Want to just decide, already!

[Goosethemoose]

Umming and ahhing about a third and final baby- for two years by now! Lots of good reasons for and against. I want to go for it before age gap with DC2 gets too big, DH unsure and non-committal, and I understand his main reservations (which can’t really be mitigated).

I want to go for it but more than that, I want a decision. If we aren’t having any more, it changes how I approach a number of things including my job and our loft full of baby stuff ahead of our upcoming house move.

Anyone else fed up with uncertainty? (On any topic!)

Only me then 😂

Can you put him in charge of the contraceptives?

I wouldn't have another child if the other parent wasn't totally on board.

I think it's time to pull up your big girl pants and have a discussion about it then!

I've been exactly the same the past couple of years. Can I ask, putting the dc age gap aside, is your age anything consider here?

I think the decision is no isn't it? If it was yes you'd have done it!

Where kids are concerned, if you aren't sure... don't do it. Having 2 kids is lovely (and plenty!) with costs rising I just wouldn't do it. Think how much more you'll have to provide for 2 vs 3.

He's not unsure, he just doesn't want to say no because he knows how keen you are.

We’ve had several discussions about it, it seems DH doesn’t want to commit either way yet (both early 30s, so don’t think this is a final hormonal surge- I hope!). Totally agree that there are sound reasons to stick with 2 (financial as well as all babies should be wanted by both, of course). I suppose I was more wondering whether anyone else is in limbo for any reason and finding it frustrating!
