To beg dh to have another dc

I just don't know how to get over only having one dc. It's destroying me. I want another dc so much. When I met dh we discussed this and agreed I wanted three and he wanted two so we would have two dc. But after our first he kept making excuses why we should wait. It was always, I am starting a new job, we need to save more, we need to get this year out the way and see what happens. Now I'm thinking he's just lying.

I'm so upset about it I think about it every day. Just really sad. Don't know where to put this sadness. Don't even know why I'm posting I suppose. Just really upset at how things have turned out and am starting to hate dh for it. Literally want to beg him for a dc. I'm 37 and don't think there's time now. I wish I'd known so I could have left him sooner I really thought we'd have another dc but as the years have gone on I realise he's just led me on.

Not sure if your DH is feeling the strain of being a dad, OP. If he is then you need to give him some time. If he really isn't involved in bringing up his DC, then sadly he probably won't change his mimind. You should talk to him about it so you understand.

You could always foster a child, OP. In fact I sometimes wish we'd had one and fostered kids, there are so many in need to love and support.

Good luck, I doubt anyone on here can really help, but I do hope you resolve it with your DH whether you have more children or not xxx

If you have to "beg" someone for another child they don't want surely this is a really bad idea for everyone involved???
Why on earth would you consider that to be a good idea?
