My wife wants to have another baby;?

My wife wants to have another baby; and for a while I did to, but now after seeing the first two grow up, I'm having second thoughts. I don't think I can handle another one. Is this wrong for me to feel like this?

Update:

If we did have another baby, we will be like 40 when the kid is 15; have we wited too long?

Update 2:

I am 31 years old.

    Not wrong at all. My husband and I have three kids. I could a have a few more and love the full house that I have. My husband doesn't want anymore than the three because he feels like he will have to stretch out too much and not be able to give all the kids his all. I totally respect that feeling and understand so I think that we are done at three.

    Maybe down the road the subject can be brought up again. If a compromise can't be found maybe a little counselling would help. Good luck.

    No, for sure no longer. I merely has yet another toddler and that i'm 36. My different 2 are 15 and 10. i think of i'm so lots greater helpful discern now than while i became in my 20's. We get greater helpful and greater affected person with age! Having childrens keeps us youthful too!

  • According to you, you are only 25. 25 is not too old for another baby and how are your kids all grown up when your only 25?

    Seriously, you need to talk to your wife. It needs to be worked out between the two of you.

    It is normal. My husband wants to try for a boy and I am done. Pregnancy did not suit me well, I gained a lot of weight and I just dont want to go through it again. Dont feel bad, just let your wife know your reasons.

    I do not think that it is wrong of you. I think that you should just talk to your wife about it. You do not want to be pressured into something that you are not ready for or that you do not want at all. Talk to her and if your relationship is strong then she should understand.

    Everyone has different feelings about having another child. You need to be honest and open with your wife. My husband and I have been through all this. He decided that we'd have another baby because it was important to me (and we only have one child right now). Your feelings are very important but so are your wifes. Good luck.

    no its not wrong evryone has a choice to make.

    could you afford three kids the less kids you have the more you can give them and support them and i dont mean material things, i mean time for reassurance ect whilst they are growing up.
