My boyfriend has reservations about having another kid, what should we do?

I’ve been with my boyfriend going on 3 years now, we have a 1 year old and from his previous marriage he had 3 kids, and his wife was and still is a terrible person, from having sex with his brother while he was on deployment, being a stay at home mom and never ever keeping the house clean ( first time I went to his house they were still together there was dog poop stuck on the floor for months), gnats everywhere, couldn’t even walk into the kids room, food so old there were maggots growing out of food left in the kids room, piss stains all over carpets, the kids have lice 24/7 and don’t care about anything anyone tells them because their mom lets them do whatever they want, you could litterally be talking to them and they’ll throw their trash on the ground right in front of you like it’s a normal thing, and soooo much more, but because of his bad out look on kids and how bad his are (it’s not their fault it’s their moms fault I know) he doesn’t want to have anymore kids with me and I’ve always seen myself being a (biological) mom of 2, I’ve told him many times it’s not my fault you got somone pregnant who never cared to actually raise her children to be decent human beings and he got with me, a single women who wants more than one kid, I love my son endlessly but I really just want one more of my own, am I wrong for that ?

His WIFE! And you act like he had absolutely no say in how bratty his kids are, how dirty his house is/was. Girl, go have babies with someone else.

You’re not wrong but you can’t force more onto his plate than what he also wants. This is what I call an impasse. It’s impossible to determine a reasonable, fair, solution for the both of you. You need to sit down and really talk it out. Express to him that this may be a deal breaker if you feel that way about it. He might feel that way too. Best not to waste each others time if one of you or both of you look at this as a deal breaker.

You’re wrong for telling him it’s not your fault he got someone else pregnant. He clearly has his hands full and doesn’t want another child. He has dirty children who constantly have live and behavior issues. Add in a 1yr old and you want an infant too? Plus a terrible ex?

So did he never watch his kids or live in that house? It’s unacceptable to blame all of this on his ex. If he’s a great dad then he should be helping raise his children too and helping clean/maintain his house?

So he lived in those conditions, and you think he held zero responsibility in the house and the children? If he is a good man/dad he would be helping with the house and children

So he lived in that house and never cleaned either? And he never did anything to get his kids out of that environment after leaving her? Also, why were you in his house while he was still married and living with his wife? This whole situation is a mess.

The conditions in which their home was kept were also his fault. He is to blame for the filth and the issues with his children also. Secondly you cannot force him to have any more children. He already knows he has enough. If you don’t look at the children he already has as your children too, you have no place being with him. #makingsofanevilstepmom

Excuse me, He is a GROWN ASS man that has just as much responsibility to the children HE made and the Home in which he LIVED in. So if THIER Home was a pigsty and his children behave as little gremlins HE Is just as RESPONSIBILE for the lack of PARENTAL PRESENCE in that house period!

That’s fine but if he doesn’t, you can’t force him and why would you want another kid anyways with a man that doesn’t want one?? Move on.

Look, I know how Dependa’s work. It’s really bad at times. (Not all wives are like that but there’s enough of them we have a nickname for them)
That said, unless he had moved into the barracks, he knew what was going on.
Granted, being gone makes it hard to retrain your children but he should’ve used all that, gotten a psych report and taken the children. The fact he didn’t makes me wonder wtf was really going on.
Now, he’s your bf. Not your husband. I can’t even be mad he doesn’t want more. He has Al ot on his plate and if y’all break up, how can he afford 6 children on child support?
You’re thinking about you, he’s thinking about “What if I get screwed later?”
Have some empathy.

It sounds like he needs individual therapy (because that sounds like a traumatic marriage) and you guys need couples’ therapy.
Personally, I don’t understand the drive to have more than one kid, though. You’re lucky enough to have one kid - tons of people would kill just to be able to birth the one child you already have.

Hold up. If he was living there, he IS responsible for the way his kids act and the way that house looked. Why are you giving him a free pass? Are you serious right now? This is the guy you want to bring ANOTHER child into the world with? And it’s all ok because YOU want this one, while literally throwing his first 3 aside, and acting like they don’t exist and it’s all their mother’s fault. Honey, don’t have another child with him until he can take responsibility for his part in the situation with his bio kids… and for fuck sakes, quit making excuses for a father who has kids but refuses to step up and teach them how to live, and instead blames their mother. That’s not a man. That’s a child. This is so fucked up on so many levels.

So go after custody of his kids.

wow sometimes I read these and think this can’t be real…
Sorry but going to be blunt here…
He actually lived in that filth and did nothing about it???
yes she didn’t clean but neither did he…
So I’m gonna say he was quite happy to live with maggots and is quite happy to leave his children in that state…

now as a parent yourself you know well and truly that is not an environment for children and you allow your step children to live in that mess with their mother who according to this story does not look after her children?
Have you done something to help them? or does only your biological child matter?

if your story is correct and she still lives like this that is child abuse and you just sit back and allow it to happen…

Okay the bigger question is why are you not pushing the dad to do something about the environment the kids he already has are being raised in? I completely understand wanting more children of your own but you really need to step up to being a step mom and care for his children as much as you care for your own. You may not be “mom” but you’re a care giver for them. You’re in their lives learning about them and learning to love them like your own. You both should be filing through the court and calling CPS if they’re growing up in those conditions. As another step mom I’m just sort of baffled that you’d just stand by and complain about not having another child of your own when kids that are supposed to looked at as your “children” to you are in that situation.

There’s always two sides to every story… Those are his children as well, therefore, it was just as much his responsibility to keep the house clean. Just because she didn’t have a job, doesn’t mean that it was her sole responsibility to take care of the house and such. Have you ever been a stay at home mom? I’ve done both, and I will flat out say that sahm do not get the credit they deserve. Now, with that being said, that living situation obviously needed addressed because no child should have to live in that. Soooooo I agree with him. It truly doesn’t sound like another child needs to be brought into the mess.

He’s got 4 kids, if he don’t want anymore that’s good on his part!

And his other 3 are his fault as well for behavior. If she was that nasty he had grounds for full custody. And can turn things around for those kids.

And you first saw the house that gross and he was living in it to. He could have cleaned it and kicked her out.

It’s also his responsibility to care for the kids if she is unfit and doesn’t care for them he should be taking the kids out of that house.

You worried about having more children but not be a wife??? He already have children and you knew this, what more do you want? PLUS do me a favor, NEVER speak I’ll about the ex.

You are not wrong for wanting more kids but he also isn’t wrong for not wanting more. Also if when you went there they were still together even if the mother wasn’t doing things to clean up he should have been doing it. It also his responsibility and maybe he realizes he can’t handle it. If you really want more then find someone else to have them with if he doesn’t want more. If that’s a deal breaker for you.

Your wrong for kicking that woman’s back in and calling her a terrible person. Sounds like he is still married to her so what does that make you? You should reevaluate this idea of family because sounds like you are trying to assassinate this woman’s character. The entire thread was about her. Audacity must be half off again this month. Also I’m confused about placing all the blame on the mother. If the dad saw all of that going on outside of being deployed why didn’t he make provisions for his children?

I’d be working my ass off to get those kids out of her house. He has to take some responsibility in that trashy living space as that’s how the kids are being raised and he’s not doing anything to change it, that’s being compliant in her actions.

I don’t see what your boyfriend’s ex-partner has to do with this situation, he doesn’t want any more children, period, not because of what he lived with the ex, with whom he didn’t stop with a son if not with three children, even with its form, I also do not see the relevant in this situation to mention that you went to their house even when they lived together, how disrespectful, both for the other person and for yourself, also criticism that there was dog feces for three months but your current partner He also lived in that house and did not clean it, if you want more children, it will have to be with someone else because you cannot force it.

Idk what the ex has to do with anything. If he doesn’t want more he doesn’t want them. He has 4 kids what’s wrong with him not wanting more. It’s not his fault you want biological kids and can’t just accept the 3 he has and say okay 4 kids is enough. The fact you have to state bio kids is kind of immature and shows you don’t need to be with someone who has previous kids. And stating it’s not your fault he had kids with someone else tbh that’s not your business he was married so why not
Have kids. Best advice go to therapy and grow up. If you can’t see his kids as yours then there is no point. The kids would always know your bio kid is more important than the rest of them. In my house we are a blended family with me having a previous son from my marriage and if my boyfriend ever said the crap you did I’d take both kids and leave his ass.

First time you went to his house as the side piece, you seen dog shit dried to the floor?
And you didn’t run?lol
Nor called cps for dangerous environment?? Was your man worth more then the kids safety??
Cuz he WAS home then…so why didn’t HE clean the house? He’s ok with shit on the floor?
Why doesn’t he teach his kids that you do NOT put garbage on the ground? Kids are bad for that period,mine tried it, til you teach em. They dumb. Never assume they know how to do things til you’ve taught them and remember with kids they need constant reminders lol
But ya…he’s got 4 kids…that he doesnt really do much about. Seems whatever the female is willing to do, he’s cool with. otherwise he’d have picked up the dog shit🤷
I’m not sure HOW ANYONE can live in a house, with dog shit dried on the floor, and blame the other person for it. You live there to? Why didnt you clean it up?
Maybe the ex was depressed…cuz her man was a douche…not helping much with the kids,house, emotional state…etc so it became to much for her🤷…and instead of helping her, her man didn’t care and let the house go gross…THEN brought a side piece into the pig pen and blamed not himself, even tho he lived there…lol
I mean we can blame the lady for things …but end of the day…your “man” lived in that house to…he couldn’t have cleaned?? He to good for that?lol
But ya…
If he’s done having kids. He’s done. Honor that.
He’s already got 4 he doesn’t already seen to care much about…kids are only as good as mom makes em apparently.

His past marriage and those conditions are a reflection of him as well, not just the mom. In fact, I feel bad for her and you. I’d move along while you can, aka no marriage no commitment.

You, him, and HIS WIFE shouldn’t have custody of any fucking kids

You’re not wrong for wanting another child but you’re wrong for soully judging his ex wife. Like they’re his kids too, equally his responsibility. If he was living there when you were around, he also didn’t pick the dogshit up or clean the maggots, or teach them to put their trash in the bin or delousing the kids. Also you can’t force him into having another child with you, and if you were to purposely get pregnant without his consent that’s a dog move. If you feel that strongly about it have more conversations with your partner or find someone who’s ideals align more with yours.

Why are you dating a man that wouldn’t clean the dog poop off the floor for months ?! He’s as dirty as she is and just as much to blame for them being dirty and the house being dirty . Theyre his kids ! And you went to his house when he was in a relationship ? Whatever happens is what you deserve. If you are with him his kids are now yours too . Why would you have a second with a deadbeat :rofl:

You can’t just blame her. He is their father. If those kids aren’t being taken care of at their mothers house why has he not stepped in and done something about it. It’s just as much his fault as it is hers. The house was disgusting and they were still together means he lived in those conditions as well and didn’t seem to have a problem with it. So you can not blame it all on her.
You’ve been together 3 years, aren’t married and you’re trying to force him into having another child with you? He’s already got 4 children. Did it occur to you he doesn’t want a 5th child? He’s obviously not taking care of his first 3 so why you’d be trying to force him to have another with you is beyond me.

He lived in the filthy conditions you mention and was okay doing so. Or he would have cleaned it up himself. Its a great thing he has realized its best not to bring another child in this world. As clearly he is unable to raise the 4 he already has.
The father doesn’t seem to be playing a positive role in his kids upbringing. So stop bashing the mother!!! Be a decent human being and help your significant other parent the children he already has.
