If he’s made a decision it’s best for you to move on and find someone who wants more kids. I want 3 more kids, depending on how my pregnancy and labor goes with my next lol I just have to see if my man will want the same. I want 3 more kids and then imma get fixed so I don’t have to have periods anymore because I HATE periods
Be patient, he may change his mind in a year. If one parent does not want more children, you don’t have more children. My husband did not want children so I insisted he get a vasectomy. No chance of an accidental pregnancy.

Threes a charm those girls are gonna give u a run for ya money you have to fill the void with a hobby or a pet dog a small Yorkie or fish maybe turtle or adopt don’t dwell on it let nature take its course
I really wouldn’t want another baby if my husband says no - if he is happy with 3 I would not force the issues! That’s why some men disconnect - I wouldn’t risk disconnecting from my spouse 
you have been blessed with 3 children - enjoy them!

I’ve got a 12 year old and 10 year old twins.
I’m all set, but that’s me.
Their dad isn’t in their life, his choice, not mine so if you have a husband that’s loyal and a great dad, don’t lose him over wanting another child. It’s not worth it.
I have 2 daughters and if it was up to my husband, we would 100% try more. I got my tubes taken out. Its not what I want. He knows that and is okay with it. You need to figure out if you will be okay with it or not.
just enjoy your babies you have currently and see what a few years brings you
Love the one’s you have
Just truck him. Be silent and make that baby. He’ll be so happy.

My husband said he was done after our 3rd and there was no talking him out of it. He talked about getting a vasectomy but kept putting it off. He eventually decided we would have a 4th. I didn’t pressure him but we talked in depth about it fairly often because he would bring it up.

Don’t worry about it till a couple years later and stop bringing it up to him. It’ll only make me him hate the idea of more kids more.

I feel like FOUR months into being twin parents isn’t the time to ask him for another baby yet. There is no way you guys are getting any sleep or time as a couple and that can cause different feelings for men than it does for women. Maybe he is done and that has to be respected, but also you have 2 pretty much newborns that are probably really preoccupying and taking up a lot of his thought process so he doesn’t Even want to think about adding another yet. I know I couldn’t even start thinking about another baby until mine were 2-3 both times.

Don’t do anything permanent but in a bit see how you both feel. I have 4 girls and while I’d have loved to have more we couldn’t handle another.
I have multiple children and trust me when I say it’s never a dull moment. Im always on the go. Taking them too school, picking up, sports practice drop off, picking back up, going to sports events that they’re playing in… its hard too say the least and I’m lucky too have 10 minutes each day too myself.

You have 4 mos old twins! Now is not a good time to convince him into changing his mind about more kids! You aren’t even sure you want more. You say he is “making the decision for you” but the flip side of that is you are forcing him to have something he doesn’t want. I have ONE 4 month old right now, I can’t imagine having 2. I’m pretty sure if I started in on “let’s have more babies” right now my husband would think I’m crazy. Lol
Maybe instead of worrying about more kids, check in on your husband see how he is doing. 4 month old twins is a big adjustment for both of you.

Children are absolutely wonderful which you already know but keep in mind that you and your husband are individual people with hopes and dreams which go beyond your children. He may have things he wants to do later in his life which you probably do as well. There are probably places he wants to visit with you by his side. Look at in in the way of the wonderful children you share and look at it in the wonderful things the two of you will do as a couple when the children leave the nest. One thing you should never do in a marriage, is wrap yourself up so much in your children, that you forget who you ARE…and who your husband is.

Now is not the time to talk about wanting more. It’s Expensive for one child from birth to adolescence. Twin babies is a lot of work and you’re not able to see that or think long-term at the moment. The immense cost of daycare, school programs, summer daycamps, extra curriculars, high school fees, team sports, post secondary education etc. It’s Freaking Expensive!! Both Parents need to be working Full time to have any sort of financial security. Even then with all the expenses and increased cost of living it is Impossible to Save or open up RESP for each child. Another factor is the failure rate of most Marriages. Within 10 years they end in divorce or separation. Court Battles and Lawyers Fees! Do you think you can manage more than 3 children on your own and that the Father will be able to hold up his end? Respect visitations, assume his Parental responsibility and provide the determined amount of financial support per child? Life gets Harder. Life is Difficult especially once you have the Long Term commitment to provide for your Dependant Children until Adulthood. Start where you are, take it slow and enjoy your babies while they are young because they honestly do grow up in the blink of an eye. No matter how fair parents try to be, it’s impossible to treat every child fairly when love and wealth is divide amongst each.

I would just wait it out see if things change later you have 4 month Olds maybe things will change, I grew up with a big family and always wanted a big family my husband had 4 kids before me then we had a son and he got fixed 5 years later he got unfixed cause he didn’t think that was fair for me now we have 3 sons and a 4th on the way he doesn’t want any more I’m assuming by his joking around but I’m on the fence as to what I want so I’ll just wait it out and enjoy my little one when he gets here and my other boys
If another pandemic hits… or continues. Do you work ? Can you afford 4 daycare bills ? Do you have space in your home ? Do you have quality time w partner…have sex often ? With the rise in groceries… can u afford a year off on half wages ? Maybe hed feel a financial burden on him ?
I am earning every single day more than 500 Dollars from home by work online. got my 4th payment of previous month of 16873 Dollars. i was surprised when one of my close friend told me she was making $ 16768 per month but now i see how it works.

Children are something that can’t be compromised about. You either accept he wants no more children and love the family you already have…or you leave. Please don’t have an ’ accident ’ with birth control to fall pregnant against his wishes…that would be taking his choices away from him.
Id say its a bit early to discuss more children tbh and what happens if you end up with another set of twins ?
You seem to have a comfortable life with a good husband. Wait a while and talk again…then decide if you can accept life with what you already have or wish to move on.

You just practically have twins and he might still overwhelm, of course he is going to say no , give him a damn break
Give it time. Your youngest are only 4 months old! Of course he doesn’t want anymore. The man just watch 2 come out of ya we also have 3 kids but all boys (9, 8 and 18 months). My SO tells me no more (because money wise we just cant) but its also a little soon I think. Im not bugging hubs for at least a year lol
I totally feel this, I would love more too but my wife said no she doesn’t. We are in our late 30’s and she can’t wait to do more things with the family and not have to bring along a stroller or change a diaper. Trying to figure out what baby wants. & I understand that because when you are going through it… like you and your honey are currently going through that’s the prime focus. Maybe later he will change his mind but right now he has two babies to tend to( just as you). My wife also thinks about all the daycare money we could be saving lol.
You are on the fence yourself. Just give it time. Express how you feel listen to how he feels and put it aside. He may change his mind but so may you.
If you talk him into another kid, he’ll resent you and that child.
It’s actually not your decision, it’s BOTH of your decisions. And you JUST had TWINS?!?! Give the man a break holy hell. I was a wreck at 4 months Post partum I cannot even imagine with twins (and I am a twin lol).

You never know. You guys have twin infants right now… it’s a handful, he’s probably overwhelmed. He may change his mind once the babies get older and he misses the young age. Don’t sweat it right now.
Sweetie, something this big, if one is not comfortable with more, then so be it.
That being said, outside of hysterectomy and full on castration- actually removing the parts that are responsible for baby making- ALL forms of birth control have a failure rate including vasectomies and tubal libations.
They may be an extremely, extremely small failure rate, but they do still have them.
I have known guys who thought they were in the clear after getting clipped still having them without a reversal and I have known women who have gotten pregnant despite getting a tubal done.
It’s rare, but it happens.
If God, the Universe, whatever, wants you to have another kid, then barring removing the organs responsible altogether from one or both of you, it will happen.
Plus, what’s he gonna do of for any reason you all found yourself in labor like that TLC show I didn’t know I was pregnant, huh?
Hate the baby?
Wait until the twins are able to go to preschool at least, then try again.
Some people are perfectly serious in the moment, then change their minds.
Some people mean it until it happens anyways and even if they are upset initially, they get over it.
Or you might change your mind when you see what trouble and mess twins can get ya.
It may be double the love, but it is also double the trouble.
I would revisit the conversation when the youngest are in school.
My husband and I said absolutely no more kids after 2…a few years later we were surprised 2 years in a row and now we have 4

Think about putting three kids through school/training after high school, cars, insurance, sports and activity fees, uniforms, costumes, technology expenses. Plus add juggling different activities and schedules for three kids with different interests. You’re both taking on a lot already.
What if one of you loses your job? What if one of you gets disabled? Life throws a lot of curveballs. Be prepared. Babies are cute and fun but they grow up. How many babies will be enough for you?

This is when Some couples counseling will really help in reality if you would like another child then you have another child:sparkling_heart:
this is what would be something a counselor or especially one at Church can help with the communication of both listening and opening up to the other. He is prob overwhelmed at the moment but tha does not last ease into this and also do a few special things like picnics and special daddy appreciation crafts and or daddy appreciation fun adventures with the kids and yourselves aswell as increasing the amount of romantic one on one moments like meals just the 2 of you romantic and add and increase extra doting by you to him maybe you already do those things but increase them and really amplify the appreciation and love to a much Louder factor really put a smile on his face in all those extra little ways if you can ease a little of one of his burdens like a chore that he mentions or complains about . This will ease his stress factor,increase his joy and then its time to speak to a church I’d suggest counselor that will really help With combining a compromise like once the other child comes along find a way to maybe add some mini vacations. He is focusing on the money situation above everything and that is a big factor but can always be workedout,compromised,worked out, figured out.
You have 4 month old twins and you asked him abt more kids? 
Maybe he doesn’t want to pay for 4 children? Maybe he’s wondering, If she leaves me, that’s 4 kids for child support.
I suggest therapy but you living through the kids bc you didn’t have siblings is narcissistic. They have siblings. Why do you feel the need for more?

I honestly can’t believe how many women are on here telling you to just divorce him. Why is it that literally every time a person posts about any conflict with their SO half the women commenting are saying “Leave him. Move on” ?? We are only getting a small view of 1 part of this womans marriage.
Now as for you, OP, I do agree with what some women are saying. I think this may be your hormones raging, and that is why you feel so passionately about it. Women who have just given birth often feel passionately about 1 thing and focus in on it. Try to calm yourself and give both of you time. Don’t push the issue with him anymore because you may just make him and yourself more upset. Enjoy the family you have now, make more memories with the ones you have, allow yourselves to be happy. Then, later on you can bring up the topic again.
If this really does become a huge issue, please don’t just be “Okay bye!”, please seek marriage counseling.

My husband was the same way. He had 1 and we had 1 together. He got one of each and I didn’t just want 1 child. We now have another baby together. He says he’s done (I had a very scary birth), I’d probably have another. I definitely wasn’t willing to get my tubes tied or anything because I’m not 100% but he also won’t get fixed… so truly… deep down he obviously isn’t 100% against it either. Give it time momma!

A few days ago there was a similar question only posted by a wife who’s husband wanted more kids and she didn’t… I told her it was Her Body, Her Choice… because NO ONE should be forced to have children they don’t want. Now not to be a hypocrite I will say His Body, His Choice… because NO ONE should be forced to have children they don’t want.

He’s not making a decision for you. If you want more kids then divorce him and find someone who wants more kids. 
Maybe he’s overwhelmed with the TWO children you just had… and just can’t handle anymore right now. Give him some time to adjust. Also I hope this is something people discuss before getting serious in a relationship. Sometimes no means no and no amount of time will change their mind!! Honesty straight up is key!

Fosters are desperately needed. Thats my compromise. If i get baby fever someday, Ill foster for sure. You can make such a big difference for SO MANY children. You can make a bigger impact on the world than just having another of your own, and your husband and you dont have to bear the financial responsibility. You get allotments from the agency to care for the children.

Having had twins myself…4 months in is not the best time to discuss that. Wait a couple years (once the sleep deprivation wears off) and discuss it again. I knew when I found out I was pregnant again, I was done, and I still didn’t know we were expecting twins. Having that conversation while caring for infants would be hard.

Yes you should be able too - it’s your body your life - just explain to him you can have a sperm donor - if he doesn’t like it tell him he can give you some of his to you - if not move on - make it clear to him
My OB told me he never considers a patient “done having kids” until their youngest finishes first grade. Give it time and see how you feel. I would have been happy to have more kids but ended up enjoying my three and all their friends.
You both have to agree. You’re right. Couples counseling so you each can communicate and grieve
He’s not making a decision for you, he’s making a decision for himself, which he has every right to do. He’s decided he doesn’t want a 4th child to take care of, support ect. You have other options, just keep in mind the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.
I don’t think you’re respecting his decision, you’re not going to be happy until you coerced him into your way of thinking.

We actually had a surprise 3rd last year so we now have a 14 yo, 9 yo, and 1 yo lol). It is 100% OK to be bummed, but I would just ease back on that conversation, enjoy the two 4 months old babies you have now and the 8 year old and see what life has in store for y’all as you go.
