“I feel like he decides we can never do anything fun or have any luxuries because he has this view that all our young years should be sacrificed for eventual financial freedom,” she detailed.
She realizes that her husband is good at managing money, which she appreciates. Nonetheless, she doesn’t want to have another child unless she can be happy, which is why she wound up giving her husband some conditions.
More specifically, she told him that she’d only have another baby if they’d get to do things they enjoyed, such as go out on date nights, take vacations, receive help with childcare, and afford a couple of luxuries.
“I essentially said I refused to be miserable, so unless you can paint me another picture, I don’t want another kid,” she revealed.
“I’m happy with what we have now. I don’t know why I would risk that for all this sacrifice and suffering he always talks about.”
In hindsight, though, she’s been left wondering whether only agreeing to have another kid if her lifestyle isn’t impacted was reasonable or made her a jerk.
Are her concerns valid? What advice would you give her?
