Babies - are you truly ready for another one?

Most couples are on the same page when it comes to the number of children they want to have. However, it seems that sometimes couples tend to pull in different directions. 

In my experience, the biggest stress is having one beautiful child, but it gets equally complicated when either the wife or husband doesn't want another. 

Mr T and I discussed having kids early in our marriage. We both have so much love to give and we needed an outlet to do so. As they say, the rest is history.

But some couples aren't as lucky as us. I have a friend who found herself in a situation recently. She currently has one kid, and both she and her husband are happy - or she thought that they were. 

It seems as if her husband wants to have another child but she is not feeling it. I chatted to her about it, and her reasoning is that a second kid could complicate things and that one is enough. 

I guess at the end of the day, it's up to the couple to come to a mutual decision. Choosing to extend the family should never be a one-sided thing, but something that both parties can agree on.
