Is it really wrong to have another baby?!?

The decision as to whether to have another child or not is 100% down to you and your wife. It has nothing to do with family members.

There are trillions of families in the world with more than one child - is it really such a problem to have another child. I have one myself (17 months old) and we're trying for another. Yes I have no doubts at all that finances will be even tighter and I will have more to do around the house and so on but the love that I get back from my son and another baby by far outweighs the extra work etc. It's such a joy having children and it would be lovely for your son to have a little brother or sister to love and play with.

Your families have to respect that you are both adults and that you have your own lives to live.

However, if and when your wife gets pregnant again I am sure that the family will be thrilled so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

That actually happened in my family, for my brother. He got married when he was 21 and 2 months later his wife was pregnant. When the baby was born, they don't know how to take care of it. Instead, my parents did. The problem was that they were fighting all the time and didn't pay any attention to the child. My parents thought that they were not good parents and would not let them have any more children. They were too young and have no experience for being parents.

In your situation, if you know that you and your wife are good parents and be able to take care of your own children, then it's you and your wife's decision to decide to have another child or not. It does matter what others would say, it's your family.

I believe that the two of you are fully equipped to have another child. Like you stated, since your first child is now 3 maybe he can even help out with a second child. If you and your wife have discussed this and it's something you both want then there is nothing wrong with that. Often times we allow third parties' points of view to interfere with our marriages when they aren't the people we wed, especially family members. I advise you two to do what's best for you and what's in your heart.

Best wishes!!

first and foremost the decision is yours and your wifes to make, but i would ask them why they really feel this way! you said that it is your wifes family that were against it,maybe they feel that she already is doing too much,you say she stops at home and looks after him and hardly has any help for him, that could be their problem, i mean without being rude how much of the child care do you actually do compared to her?. having children as you know is very hard work, and your wife is still young,and maybe they feel she is missing out on something, maybe friends, going out etc. i do think that you should all sit down and discuss this, because maybe they are seeing something that you are not,the decision as i said is for you and your wife to make but at the same time,if she is not allowing anyone to help her it can be very stressful and exhausting, and if she were to get pregnant now,would she allow anyone to look after your son? because unlike the first pregnancy she cant just take a nap when she likes, as your son will need someone to look after him. maybe if she allows people to help more, they will be more supportive. whatever you decide, good luck. i believe that its a good age gap between the child, but if your son is a handful and she insists on doing everything herself, i can see why they would be concerned.

It's not wrong of you at all. It just shows you love your kid so much you want another. I love my siblings each to death and can't imagine life without them. If you wait too long, they will be too far apart in age to be very close. It is like punishing your own child! He needs a companion in life or he might become selfish like many only children. Perhaps you took the family by surprise. It's your life. Decide how to live it.

I don't think its wrong to want another baby. If you both have your heart set on it why not.I think its great to have another one, especially if he's already potty trained and if you feel your financially stable I don't see what the priblem is. I went through the same thing.My first was only 10mths when I found out I was pregnant again, and my family had nothing but negative comments about it. But now they get all happy and excited when my boys go over. Good luck and Congrats in advance if you decide to have another baby

first of all THIS IS YALLS DECISION not theirs they dont have to stay up at night with the baby and feed it 24-7 all that good stuff dont let anyone change you alls mind if this is what you want then go for it i am 27 and my fiance is 24 and we have a two year old and are also talkin about having another one so GO FOR IT and good luck

Just have another baby, it has NOTHING to do with other family members, it's between you and your wife.

absolutlely not!! it's your life and your children and they should stay out of it!! honestly, ony children are brats, it's not good for a child to have no brother and sisters, then they are always the center of attention and that's bad when they hit about 10. if you want another baby then you should have another baby. dont let them tlk you out of it

Maybe their right, maybe you shouldn't. Have you asked them why they think you guys shouldn't have another kid. I'd like to know why ? Maybe they have a good reason why .
