As a woman, I don't understand why your wife is trying to pressure you to do something as big as having another child. That's such a huge commitment even if you're married to try to force someone to do. It's not like getting a puppy.

This is literally the only reason I even thought about a second one but I looked at the state of my marriage, age, and future of Arkansas football and realized I was one and done on kids.

I dont get only wanting one kid. I want at least 2, just to increase the likelihood of one of them being rich and paying for a life of luxury when I retire.


Also adopting kids for this too. IQ test and 40 times will be measured.

when my wife told me she wanted our 4th kid, I was "deadset" against it

I held her hands, pulled her close and told her, "It's going to be a lot of work. For YOU"

To this day, she swears that's the truest thing I've ever said to her...

Good luck with the new baby

So, you're either going to get divorced or live the rest of your life with a woman who partly despises you for not letting her have a 2nd kid. You fricked regardless.


Joking aside this is how I feel it's going to end up because the resentment will be too strong. Knew I could count on OT.

Follow on question what steps should I take now to protect myself in the inevitable divorce?

Get a vasectomy without telling her then “try” for the next few years

You have total control of whether you have any more kids. She has total control of whether she has any more kids.

She’s gonna get pregnant whether you like/know it or not. ....if you don’t protect yourself against it. Getting snipped will be the best protection. Anyone who is dead set on having a child with someone who clearly doesn’t has mental issues. This is first stage of divorce type stuff. It’s a lot more serious situation than it seems. DO NOT AGREE TO IT IF YOU DON’T WANT IT. That’s about a 25 year mental, physical and financial burden. Hope it works out for you.

Then she is right and you are wrong. You’re only talking about 3 more years. Kid needs a sibling. Wife wants a kid. Should have done it a year ago when she wanted.

Yep, I don't care what people say about BBC or SAC after they see the family portrait.

No but I like enjoying life and a newborn is hell on earth.

If I were hispanic would not be an issue since hispanic moms handle their business but my wife is product of white suburbia and her parents dynamic is basically what every white married couple on TV commercials is.

Have a 2nd kid.

If your first kid is 3 and you can afford it and you are in your 30s....this is a no brainer.

I am sure your oldest kid would want a brother or sister.
