I want to know what you’d say in this situation

Why does she think you shouldn’t have anymore children?

Is there another reason other than you wanted too? Some people have another baby because they want to give their child a sibling or they want a boy or girl etc. I think you wanting another baby is reason enough to have another baby and is all you need to say.

Just for context to your situation, do you have your own place? Does one of you work or both to provide for child or children you already have? If you're in a good situation and no one questions your ability to raise child you already have, I'd be blunt in asking why she questions it? Does your other half have siblings or is he an only child? She might have struggled with one and thought she wasn't capable to have 2 as it would be too much. Might not understand others having more.

@Louise we have a big family home and can accommodate all children having their own bedroom. My husband works and I stay home we live comfortably we aren’t rich in money but in love and time we sure are! I’ve always pictured a big family and a busy household and we decided we’d love to add one more to our brood, we can a handle this both time wise and financially. She only had 1 baby and I think she did struggle as my husband and even herself speak often about how ‘difficult he was’ but I think a lot of is it to do with the fact that our lives with 4 children wouldn’t accommodate them as well. They live abroad so they’d have to stay in a hotel when visiting, they’d not be able to babysit 4 young kids alone (all under 5) because they are very old and FIL struggles to stand and walk for a long time and MIL has arthritis so struggles to hold the kids and she’s one of them that always insists on having the children alone and that won’t be possible anymore

@Christina we want another because we both want a big family and we want 4 children. I have all boys but I’m more than happy to have 4 boys and never have a girl

@Charas No idea! But her past comments are that my hands are too full 😂

I would say stay out of my business

I would just say 'because I wanted another baby'. That wouldn't have been my response but it's the only one I can think of that would be classed as rude

As long as she’s not your full time babysitter or financially supporting you guys and you have your own house it’s not her business. Just say you’re happy and both want a big family. Say you’re not comfortable discussing it further and shut down any conversation around it. That’s what I did when people kept pushing me to have more (we are one and done)

Ppldon't say why u having another kid out of no where..I think not putting in post that u have 3 kids and 4 or 5 on way and they all under 5... that a lot of work and she said ur hands are full.. why are u bothered though, your hands Are full. I know some ppl grow up with no sibling or small family and fantasise about big one and neglect their kids, babies back to back to back. Help is needed and all boys is no joke, and if dad sad difficult, the kids will inherit lot of mannerisms,behaviour,tempermament etc etc difficult kids have difficult kids but environment and having parents that don't know what or how deal with kid also affects them. Boys are active, breaking things all time, fighting, jumping, kicking, punching, unless u got docile boys or girls, having a baby every year... even medically the body needs break. Unless u got Ton help or maybe ppl have adhd or other things that give them desire to have more babies and more chaos, she been visiting so she knows its busy. And if they see u struggle..

Everyone here thinks it's mostly asking about having 2 babies or 2 kids lol funny.. think bigger ppl.. why more not why 2.. because most ppl stop at 2 until age gap w third baby and some want different gender. The ones that keep having babies aren't in this app often. And step kids aren't same, ones that visit etc
