Today, my husband and I had a huge fight. I have a son from a previous relationship who he loves, but he wants more kids. My son is 9, almost 10, he's so used to being my baby that I can't bring myself to take that from him by having another baby. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I got into yet another fight because he wants a second kid and I don't. One kid is enough for any family but he won't listen. FML
Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML
Today, I told to my son that I'm pregnant. After I'd told him, he looked up and yelled, "Fuck this shit!" and walked out of the room. My son is nine years-old. FML
Today, my wife and I have been fighting, and she's threatening divorce. Why? Because I don't want to have a second kid. We cannot afford another one. FML
Today, my wife changed her mind on us having kids, because her eight year-old son said he liked being an only child. She says that my devastated and angry reaction is incredibly unattractive and immature, and that I need to accept compromise. FML
Today, I asked my wife for a divorce because her kids hate my son and are horrible to him because they don't like that he has a dad and they don't. She's my soulmate and the love of my life, but I can't do this to him anymore. FML
Today, I want a baby, but suddenly my partner says he doesn't want any kids because he already has a child. With another woman. He's not been part of the mother's or child's life in over 7 years. FML
Today, my husband and I have been fighting because I gave our son his college fund, even though he got a full-ride scholarship. My husband didn't think it was necessary and wanted to use it for other things. FML
Today, my wife and I have been in the same massive argument for two weeks. We agreed when we were dating that we couldn’t think of anything worse than having kids, we married on the basis we would never want kids. Now, a year later, she wants a baby. FML
Today, my husband told me he'd changed his mind and no longer wants children. We already have two kids. FML

I hope that isn't the only reason you don't want more children... or the reason you gave for not wanting more. Have you considered how hurtful that is towards your husband? Y'all really need to sit down and talk this one out, perhaps professionally.

He is going to be a teenager soon enough. You need to talk to your husband and figure out your future. If you are adamant that you don't want children, it may mean the end of the relationship.

I know its hard. I had a baby when my son was 8 and I was so worried about his place in the family. now he is almost 9 and has become such a good big brother and he enjoys having a baby sister

Your son isn’t a baby anymore. Stop treating him like one, stop making bullshit excuses and talk this through. Your husband wants to have a biological child too and that’s understandable. Your son won’t be replaced but gain a sibling. Grow up.

JFC cut the umbilical cord. My cousin has an eight-year-old that's more mature. He just welcomed his first sibling and he's over the moon. He stopped being "the baby" a long time ago. Stop raising your son to be a mama's boy. It'll be a nightmare for him and any potential romantic partners down the road.
