Broody but dh not keen

Hi all, I am have really been getting broody lately but my dh just doesn't seem interested.

I don't know what to do as i would really love another family member, but dh has said in the past that just the one is enough and that he wasn't even thinking about having any kids at all but ds came along not planned and we just sort of went with it.

We are still young and have plenty of time but I don't want the age gap between my ds and another sibling to be to big.
He is 5 is sept and will be starting school so I thought this would be a nice time to start trying soon.

Also I would love a April/May/June baby.
Also I love being a young mum and still want to be young with my second.
How do I get my dh to come round to the idea.

The thing is he says because of our ds's behaviour sometimes he dreads having another one, but ds's behaviour is nothing unusual for another other 4 yo.

He also said if it happens it happens, Does that mean I should "accidentally" "forget" to take some pills.
But I really don't want to do that as that's being deceitful.

What to do?

we have agreed that in a years time we will assess our situation and then maybe we try then.

Im happy with this cus i would rather have a DC with a DH how wants one to, not just going along with it for my sake.

Plus DS is starting school in septemeber and i have lots of stuff to get organised and it would be nice to get DS into a routine at school before we consider any more.

Thank you all for you help, if you hadnt helped me confront my DH then we wouldnt of talked and come to this decision together.

Really happy you found a solution, sounds like a great idea. Best of luck and hope ds settles well in school
