My best friend and his wife just had their first child the other day. A little boy.
This is obviously good news for them, and I am happy for them. However, this creates a problem for me because it has now given my wife "Baby Fever". Now she wants to have another one. I certainley plan on having one more child for sure(maybe two just to spite people like NCFY ), but now is not the time financially for us to be thinking about another baby. What do I say to my wife to completely turn her off to the idea of babies for now?

Hmm... take her to a gas station and show her the cost of gas?

Show her those missiles shooting from Iran?

or... maybe just tell her that it's not financially feasible at the moment.

She knows the price of gas, Iran won't be a factor 18 years from now, and she doesn't listen to me anyway.

Don't be so sure.
That's what I thought seven years ago, when my babies were still running around playing Pokemon and Transformers. I thought, thank heavens this is happening now; it'll be all over with before they're grown up and it can endanger them.
I was wrong.
There is no end in sight.

I'm not worried about it though. If my kid(s) end up serving I'll be proud of them. I know what the military is actually like, so it doesn't scare me like it does for people that only have vague generalities to base their opinion off of. Of course I'd worry, any parent would, but I wouldn't lose my **** over it.

There's nothing you can do to turn her off to the idea. Any attempts to do so will pervertedly make her want it even more.

The best you can do is discuss what you want honestly. If you think it's not financially feasible, tell her that. It won't change her wants though. Nothing stops baby fever. But if she's rational and reasonable she will care about what you want. I would never have wanted to get pregnant with a kid my man emphatically didn't want or wasn't ready for. But that's me. I know other women who go all out of their way to ignore their man's thinking figuring he'll get right with it later, when he has little choice. So if you really don't want another child right now, be aware of where your sperm is going...just saying. I had a friend who flat out stopped taking the pill so she could accidentally get knocked up when her husband didn't want another. Also given the age of your current son she's probably pretty fertile right now! I got pregnant with my second when the first was 9-10 months old. I wasn't exactly trying to get pregnant but we weren't trying to avoid either. I was thinking it would be ideal to get all the breastfeeding, diaper changing, etc out of the way in a bang of consecutive years so I never had to return to all that again.

Good luck.

new coup for you

stop changing your underwear regularly and showering

I wasn't thinking about the kid going into the military so much as the state of the country, the economy, the world if/when we go to war with Iran and turn them into a parking lot.

Have a girl she doesn't know call and ask for you when you aren't home. Or have someone call and hang up late at nite.
