Having another

[Dave1983]

Hi, not sure if this is the right place, we currently have a nearly 3 year old girl, my wife wants another child, whilst i would love another, i really don't want another girl, the reason for this is, i have such a wonderful relationship with my daughter, she's my little princess and she's very special to me, i worry that if we had another girl, 1, my relationship with my daughter would change (i no at somepoint it will), and 2, how can i have that same relationship with a new little girl that i have with my one now. It's putting me off having another as things are perfect now, but i feel bad because i'm putting off giving my wife what she wants... Any advice please

If you have another your love and relationship with your first will not diminish. You have a 50% chance of having either so not a huge amount you can do about it!

I saw another mm post some great advice on a similar topic.

I can't find the link now, but to summarise:

If you have another dc, youll find you won't have to share your love between your dcs. Instead you'll have a new cup full of love for dc2. You won't have to take love out of dc1's cup!

You will however have to share your time!

Try and assess whether you'd like another dc in other aspects - family vision/financial/space as lack of love to go round is not likely to be the problem!
