Stay together to have another baby?

Question

Would you stay with your husband to have a second baby? We both agree that we would really like our baby to have a sibling. 
We bicker a lot and will probably end up staying together anyway, but things feel pretty rocky sometimes. 
I know it's not ideal to have another baby now, but am I silly for wanting to try now, while we are definitely still together?

Answer

A baby won’t fix a relationship and I definitely wouldn’t have one if my SO and I were fighting a lot

Answer

Please don’t do it 🤦🏼‍♀️ your children will not have a good childhood. Because once the second baby does come into the picture, you two will probably fight a lot more and end up separating anyways. So just don’t do it. One child seems fine for you two right now. Figure out your arguing and relationship problems first before having another kid. Child #1 will survive without a sibling for a while until you guys figure it out. Good luck.

Answer

Lol my SO was a baby to save the marriage. Even his dad admits it. His parents split when he was 6 so he doesn’t really remember anything but the divorce and the fights. Not a great childhood.

Answer

Heck no please wait at least two years before having another baby to see if things actually work out! Adding another child will only create more tension and problems I promise you! Don’t do it!

Answer

Noooo. That's not in the best interest of the hypothetical second baby at all!!

Answer

Yes. That is a bad idea. Fix your relationship first or end it. Don’t bring another person into a mess.

Answer

No, if you’re already having problems it will only make things worse. Children don’t deserve to be born into a bad relationship.

Answer

No it will only make things worse and it’s definitely not fair to the children or healthy for anyone involved.

Answer

If you have doubts in your relationship it might not be a good idea to have another child. I am saying is not really doubts but it seems like you already expect the relationship to fail and to me that seems unhealthy for your current child, husband and yourself to bring another kid into the mix. Bickering is normal, but feeling like you only want to stay to have another kid is not a good enough reason to have another child.
