Similar boat to you! I try to talk about it when we’re having a good time with our LO, and say how nice it would be when her little brother is here too…🤣
Mine didn’t need much convincing. Probably because he works 12 hours a day so doesn’t really deal with the baby. Now he’s 11 months old. He comes home gets the rough and tumble play time and then goes to bed.
I'm in the same boat. I'm just hoping once our little boy is a bit older he might change his mind as I think it'll be sad for him to grow up without a sibling.
I’m just giving him space and time. We need to both be on the same page to have another otherwise it isn’t worth it in my opinion.
Babies are hard work he’s not wrong, do you mean you want one now? Or in the future? get past the baby and toddler stage first then broach it you still have the terrible 2s to deal with and if he didn’t like the baby stage he’s print going to likely the terrible 2s either. make the most of this time of being able to give that first child your full attention having a baby so close to the first I’d never want to do we have a 7 year age gap not planned that what I have fertility issues so was difficult but I love the age gap we have as my older child understand so much more that I can’t always drop what I’m doing to help him. Me and hubby both said 4 year age gap for us would be what we’d like obviously didn’t work that way for us but we’d want them to be out of nappies and in school/school nursery
I agree with @Charley. My husband was the same as yours, so I had to wait a bit....I didn't want to at the time, but now we have 3, and he wants a fourth so.....!!!
I think wait until the baby is a bit older, lots of dads find it hard when they're young and really come into their own when the baby is about a year old so they start playing and talking and walking etc. that's when they start to think "oh yeah it was hard but this bit is great"
