Anyone else have a DH that just doesn't get it?

[Hopeful37]

I agree with u. You have to follow your heart. I am 37 now and we are going to try for our 3rd this June. However, my DH was not on board. It took a whole year of convincing before he agreed. I actually gave uptake the end! I really don't want to be an old mom but I really want to try for that girl. I don't always want to be the mother-in- law ( I have 2boys) .
So let him know how important this is to you and how you're feeling. Then let him think about it for a few days or a month and bring it up again.....
Good luck!!

nope mine doesnt get it either
he wants a girl but not to the extent that i want a girl iykwim?
he asks me why i cant just be happy with never having a girl - i cant he just doesnt understand that he doesnt get it either when i ask him to put himself in my position of if we had 6 girls and would he want a boy. he says he wouldnt but i know him better than that and know that it would have killed him if we never had a boy.

he only ever wanted 2 kids and blames me for the fact that we have boys because he says i just cant let it go and i have to put us through this time after time.

My DH doesn't get it either! We have one boy and another on the way and he was hoping for boys both times. He thinks girls mean more worrying and drama down the line, but I think we will worry just as much about our boys. As bad as it sounds, boys can still have kids as a teenager, get abducted, be dramatic, and all of the other things normally associated with girls. I would like to have another child to be close in age with our youngest son, but he thinks I am only mentioning it because I want a girl. I honestly do want a girl, but my oldest son will be in school soon and I really want my younger son to have a companion at home whether it be a boy or a girl. Hopefully I can get him on board to eventually try for a third. I would love to sway pink but am pretty sure he would not be on board for that!
