My husband says he doesn’t want any more.

My heart wants one more. We have 2. I know I should just be grateful, but I really would’ve loved to have one more. I’m just sad.

Im so sorry your going through this. 😭 I got no advice as husband and I both agree to be done after this one. Did he say why he doesnt want another? Maybe the economy being bad? Idk either way im just sorry 😞 🫂🫶

I’m in the same boat. Almost the same ages too. Logic says stopping is our wisest option for many reasons. But in my heart I still cry. Message me if you just want someone to commiserate with. But reality is we are done and that makes me sad.

Omg this reasoning makes me feel even more sad for you.😭
My hubs & I had our first child together when I was 39 & he was 51, yeah it was a surprise later in life addition as he had spent his entire adulthood infertile & just decided to come to terms w/it. We’d heard stories of his condition changing, but didn’t think it would, especially not after 9yrs together. We kinda have a different outlook now that we’ve lived both sides, we’re established now & get all this great quality time w/our kids, why save it for grandkids when we can enjoy our own to the fullest now, we just wish our 16 didn’t have to endure our long work hours & sitters, our 4y hasn’t felt the need to grow up so fast. We’ll be rocking his graduation & maybe a sibling’s if we decide to have a 3rd, I don’t care if we’ll be 57 & 70 or, if a 3rd 63 & 76+, bc our kids are getting the best, most laid back part of our adult lives right now & the better part is hubs will be retiring soon so they’ll have both parents FT.

What do you wipe first?

Okay moms, important science question of the day:
When you’re on your period and you have a bowel movement on the toilet…which do you wipe first - the front or the back?

And please don’t tell me you’re wiping from back to front… that’s how you spread things that should never be spread. 😅😭

Is this valid?

I’m not sure if any of you SAHMs feel the same way, but I personally miss working. I don’t want anyone else to look after my daughter, I’d rather it be me or my husband. But that’s the only reason I don’t work. At home I just feel like I’m never doing enough and my life is going nowhere. Slowly working on being better at keeping up with all the chores and spending more quality time with my daughter because she needs that. But everything feels like an endless cycle. There’s always dishes to be washed, flooring to be swept or mopped, toys to be picked up. And I’m near all of it 24/7 because we only have one car and no disposable income. It’s rather suffocating. I miss people. Real life people. That aren’t my husband and daughter, that I can just talk to and see. This first year pp has me feeling like I’ve been drowning because I don’t have any family or friends here and I’ve tried so hard to meet people but they’ve all fizzled out. Is there something wrong with me? I can’t help but ask that question every day. I struggle with MDD though so I have depressive episodes like this often and maybe that’s the only reason I feel this way. Idk.
