Husband wants to have another child

We’re both 41, DD is at university. DH has asked if we can try for a 2nd child. When we had DD in our early 20s I was adamant we’d be one and done, as was he. Now all of a sudden as we’ve had friends having kids later he’s now thinking it would be good to do it again. I have no desire to do this. For me I feel done with this chapter of my life. I also see how tired our friends with toddlers are. I'm the main warner (run my own business) and happy doing what I want when I want, and just having to worry about getting the dogs sorted. He thinks I'm being unreasonable becuae I've just said no and wont discuss it any further.

Can you borrow one of your friends' toddlers for a bit? A few hours' babysitting might cool his jets.
