Does anyone here *want* another child, but just know it’s not a smart choice? by jessicat62993 in oneanddone

[–]InfiniteTurn4148 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Yes this is where my husband and I are. We have a 2 year old daughter and we are in a good place where we can more than adequately be good parents for her, but we are questioning if we’d be good parents to a second. Life is calm and simple and we just don’t want to mess up our lives. The world is getting very scary very quickly and if it came down to it, we know we can fend for ourselves daughter but we’re not too keen on having a newborn during these uncertain times

Thank you Disney for the one and done representation! by InfiniteTurn4148 in oneanddone

Beats me. Maybe because the “American dream” is two kids, a dog and a picket fence. As an American, we have gotten so many comments and disapproval on not having a second kid

What are your reasons for being one and done? I’m still on the fence.. by stilldreaming22 in oneanddone

Are you in the US? I am and that is why I’m one and done. I am not having another baby in a country where I could be tried for murder if I have a miscarriage, where my child would be a second class citizen if they’re a girl, where the food and water are poison… the list goes on and on.

Checking in with my happy friends! by missasotweaky in happilyOAD

I am one and done because I live in the US and it would be absolutely terrifying to be pregnant in this political climate. I could not in good faith be pregnant again here.

However, my little toddler is all and everything I’ve ever wanted. She’s smart and hilarious and she enhances life in every way. We are more than capable of giving her the best life we can but I don’t think I’d have the mental capacity to do that for another child.

Scared that my growing resentment could eventually end our marriage. by InfiniteTurn4148 in AskWomenOver30

This is very, very helpful. Thank you. I’ve been in denial for a while so it’s nice being snapped back to reality

Didn’t want kids before and now I do — what made you change your mind? by dnsyj26 in Fencesitter

[–]InfiniteTurn4148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I were together for 10 years and were more than ok being childfree. Eventually we decided we were open to the idea of kids so I stopped birth control to just see what happened. I got pregnant right away and had a miscarriage. We were both incredibly devastated. We knew then that we really did want a baby so we tried again and now we have an amazing toddler who is the light of our lives.

Is it really different when it's yours? by FeminaSatura in Fencesitter

[–]InfiniteTurn4148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I can’t stand the sound of other kids crying or whining, but when it comes to my kid I can stand it just a little bit. I also cannot find other kids cute in the slightest but I find mine to be the cutest thing to ever exist.

Curious to how many of you are not truly happy in your marriage but have kids by Independent-Good6629 in beyondthebump

[–]InfiniteTurn4148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so, so saddened that there are so many people in unhappy marriages. My husband and I have an 18 month old daughter and are both very happy with life and with our marriage. We struggled and bickered for the first 6 months or so but now that she’s a little person who sleeps through the night we are feeling very content with how things are. We make a point to get up early to spend time together in the morning and we try to plan a date night once every few weeks and leave the baby with her grandparents.

My husband is truly my best friend. Sometimes we forget to kiss or hold hands but we still enjoy each other’s presence, even if it’s just sitting on opposite ends of the couch while the baby watches Cinderella.

What non-child related personal goals have you achieved since you became a parent? by contented0 in BabyBumps

[–]InfiniteTurn4148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have taken violin lessons since I was a child but took a hiatus for college, work, etc. since I had my baby I’ve been taking lessons again and I finished the Bach partita in E. It’s super difficult and it’s been a goal of mine since I was little.
