So my son for his 6th birthday asked for a baby sibling. Well, it has been 6 years since I had a child and I been doing a lot of thinking. Since I already have most of the baby stuff I need and almost set, I was thinking of fulfilling Dean's birthday wish finally and having a baby. My end of my birth control pills end next weekend so I am more in likely going to fulfill his wish...it will make me feel good and maybe help this family out some.

Bringing another child into the situation will not fix your marriage-it will make it more stressful. You should work on fixing your marriage first.

@JolietJake I couldn't help it this time. It's unfair to the children. =(

@carebear29 but still WHAT? seriously! grow the F up! You are talking about bringing another life into the world. One that YOU (and the taxpayers) will be responsible for.

First, why would you care what a bunch of strangers think? This is a personal decision that you need to think over very carefully. It wasn't all that long ago that you were thinking about leaving your husband. If you can handle raising a child alone both financially and emotionally then go ahead and have another child. But remember, a baby grows up and deserves to have a stable happy life, be very sure you can provide it. Dean has no idea what it takes to raise a child since he is one himself. I wish you well no matter what you choose but think long and hard and don't do anything impulsive.

Thats what most of us who are giving their opinions on it are trying to get her to understand. Hes a kid, he doesnt get what it takes, cant / shouldnt have a kid cause another kid wants a sibling. And having a baby will never fix a marriage. You have to fix things first and make sure its what both want.

It's been a bouncy road for you and your husband + previous obstacles. I'd reconsider and think what's best for your family first. Although, its nice to fulfill your sons wish as to having a sibling, one has to be practical.
Your son could be a little lonely if he isn't interacting with many other children besides at school. Perhaps see if you can get some play dates with him and other classmates so he can have some fun! Or find places to take him during the weekends or free events nearby your home for fun.

@carebear29 Ah yes, but I also think its important for children to interact outside of school or at least on the weekends. Do you take him out to explore museums, public libraries, take advantage of activity for kids happening in your town/area.

Whatever your decision I hope it all works out for you. Who knows that child may grow up to do great things.

You son probably doesn't realize that he won't be able to play with a sibling like he thinks he will. He will have to keep his toys that are small picked up once the baby is getting around the house more and will probably have to entertain the baby until it's old enough to do more. Letting him play outside of school with kids his own age would probably be better for him in the long run.
~~~~~~~~Did you realize you had a duplicate post go up, one without any image? Luckily it has no responses on that one, so it would be easy for you to delete it.

@carebear29 Well that's something then, but not a reason to have another necessarily.
did you see you have a duplicate post?

I don't think one should have a baby just because a 6 year old says he wants you to or because it will make you "feel good". Those are some seriously bad reasons to have a child. I also don't think it is a good reason to try to "help out" the family or a marriage. That is some serious pressure to put on an infant.
