Okay, so me and my wife only have one kid. I would like another, but she doesnt. She does not want to go through the infant stage all over again, even though I did most of the work.
The real problem is our families keep pressuring us for another kid. Her parents want more grandkids and so does my mom. My dad seems to understand and says to "keep practicing on making another".
It does not help that we both have siblings that seem like lost causes. My brothers don't really want to grow up and move on from their high school lives (33 and 28 still living at home with mom and smoking pot with their friends). Her brother doesn't know what he wants with his life, and her sisters have no desire of of dating at all.
I just can't be the only dad pressured with having more kids with a wife that doesn't want to.

It gets worse if you're trying & still not having success...when we were trying for our first, we didn't tell anyone, but my mom was pushing on us so hard to have kids that I finally had to tell my dad that if she didn't lay off, she wasn't going to hear anything from us on anything. She got the message, & all I had to do after that was give her the look when she started in, & she clammed right up. Three kids later, we've both decided it's someone else's turn to pump out grandbabies...
