Love, Kids, Awkward and Childfree: Plans

Plans

Today, we saw a woman with two out-of-control children. As we walked away, my husband said to me, “Disgusting, I’m glad we’re never having children.” News to me, he'd always said he wanted a kid before we married. An uncomfortable conversation is imminent, damn it. FML

Today, my husband told me he'd changed his mind and no longer wants children. We already have two kids. 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

Can't be bothered, TBH

Today, I found out that the man I just married doesn't want to have children. We had this conversation multiple times with no problems before getting married, but now he would "rather die" than have children, because according to him, they would ruin his life. FML

Time for a conversation

Today, after spending a great day with my nieces, I turned to my husband to ask him if maybe we should start trying to get pregnant like we both agreed we wanted to multiple times. Before the words even left my mouth he said, “God they were exhausting, thank God were not having kids.” FML

Different goals

Today, I asked my husband if it was a good time to think about having kids. His response was, "ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NEVER." I’ve always wanted to be a mom and he knows that. I feel like I’ve wasted my life. FML

The talk

By Anonymous - 31/05/2023 06:00

Today, I asked my husband if we could start talking about kids. He said sure, so we talked about kids. Then I asked if we could maybe start trying to have kids, and he said, “Absolutely fucking not, are you mad? What’s wrong with you?” FML

WTF dad?

Today, my husband ranted about how children are awful, and parents who claim they love their kids are complete liars, and if everyone admitted that we hated our kids and resented them for existing, there’d be a lot more happy childless couples. We don’t even have kids for him to hate this much. WTF? FML

Today, there were a few loud and annoying kids running around my store. My coworker and I started talking. I jokingly stated, "Yeah, kids ruin everything." But before I could get out, "God knows I'm not ready to be a dad," my phone rang. It was my one night stand. I'm going to be a daddy. FML

Today, I was told that I will never be able to have children. Thankfully for my husband, his girlfriend sure can. FML

Time to run

Today, things were going great with my girlfriend of six months. She knew I had kids and it seemed to be getting serious, so I decided to introduce her to them. After dinner, I walked her to her car and she said, "That’s real nice but what are you going to do with them once you and I have kids?" FML

Guys say a lot of things they don't mean to get laid.

Maybe at one point he wanted to have kids, then saw how kids can be, and decided it’s not worth the hassle. Maybe he has friends with kids and hears the stories, or seen first hand watching kids, what they can be like. Minds change all the time. I know, I was firmly anti kid until my first wife’s miscarriage, now I have kids.

Perhaps he’s on the fence. I was for a long time as well, and I probably could be happy in another life without kids. But I have them and I adore them.

This is something you need to hash out. My mom has a college friend who married a Catholic - he wanted 9 kids just like his family. The friend wanted maybe one and that was pushing it. They ended up divorcing. My fiancé and I decided no kids and either of us were willing to get sterilized. I ended up doing it because of a related cancer risk, but I did this in full transparency and with his blessing. If you wanted kids and he doesn’t, or he changed in his mind, are you ok with this? ….or does this mean you’re pregnant and he doesn’t know yet?
