Persuading my husband to have a baby in 30 days or less

celibacy4life · 2012-05-08T18:25:25+00:00

I think there is something inherently flawed about having to convince someone to participate in the creation of human life. This is supposed to be the sort of thing that's worked out before the vows.

Alanna · 2012-05-08T22:46:33+00:00

Well, at least she's trying to convince him and not just sabotaging the birth control and claiming "oops!"

A vasectomy has never sounded so appealing.

Day 3:

"please stop" (text message from dear hubby)

response: "nope :P"

Day 4:

A couple of concerns I'm not stressed about, but I tend to be optimistic (and realistic). Sure, someone could lose a job and it would suck, but as long as both of us don't, we'll survive. I lived off Ramen once, I can do it again.

Day 5:

four nights a week I'm at home with Lil' J with nothing but free time on my hands after she goes to bed. Yes, sleep would be nice, but lately I've been spending time cleaning like I used to when my sister and I were slave workers for my parents. I'm talking scrubbing the floors on my hands and knees, organizing, doing the dishes.--I know the dishes don't sound like a big deal but before this week you could probably count the number of times I've done the dishes (start to finish) on both hands.

wow, she does work around the house to get the thing she wants. how long will that last?

"Just because you clean the house one day doesn't mean I'm going to want to have a kid."

stay strong dear old dad. oh, and use protection:

"How about we just stop preventing, and if I do get pregnant, I can wait to tell you until the idea doesn't freak you out anymore. That gives you 5-10 months, depending how quickly I start showing."

she didn't have to give you this warning.

Where's the no means no here?

2012-05-08T23:11:38+00:00

That's just low...really low....

30 days to convince someone to have a baby? If he doesn't want a baby, 30 days of spreadsheets, charts, and text-messages aren't going to change anything. They probably shoulda talked about this for real-reals before tying that knot.

edit: Also it seems they already have a child?

ENTP · 2012-05-08T22:24:14+00:00

The first thing he said to me when he got home was how nice the place looked.

Great, ammo!

This sort of manipulative bullshit really unsettles me...

This should probably be given a new title: How I ruined my marriage in 30 days or less.

I'm almost tempted to take bets on when the separation begins.

How would an article called "How to persuade my wife to let me fuck whoever i want in 10 minutes" go?

Convincing someone you love to do something thats against what they want out of life, is manipulation and a red flag that you're an asshole thats not ready to be in a relationship. Man/woman/whoever it doesn't matter. The woman that manipulates her husband into having a child he didn't want, ends up being the same woman crying that he's a deadbeat dad when he doesn't act interested in the thing you convinced him he wanted to have

I hope this is all fictional. She sounds like a nutjob.

typhonblue · 2012-05-08T22:28:52+00:00

I guess the drug high from the first one's wore off, huh?

CMOS222 · 2012-05-09T01:15:45+00:00

I can't wait to see what happens when somebody finally shows the husband the blog.

NiceGuysSTFU · 2012-05-08T17:32:57+00:00

Please do not gang up on this woman and take to her blog to tell her how terrible she is. She is not proposing doing anything extremely drastic like "forgetting" her BC or whatever, but I still think that harassing someone into agreeing to something is not really getting their consent at all. I'm sure she and her readers think she's just being "cute," but I find it rather sickening with what little regard she has for her husband's feelings about another pregnancy.

justaverage · 2012-05-08T21:00:33+00:00

She is a fucked up in the head mormon. I hate this person so much for thinking her brainwashed narcissism is acceptable to broadcast across the internet.

phukka · 2012-05-09T05:10:43+00:00

A. He should stop sleeping with her altogether until she becomes fucking trustworthy or wifeworthy again.

B. I'm surprised she hasn't just gone and fucked some random dude to get knocked up and then use the husband to support it anyway.

BinaryShadow · 2012-05-09T05:48:55+00:00

To be fair, at least they are still trying to persuade instead of "forgetting" their BC pills.

It's funny yet depressing reading some of the comments on there.

*Your idea about not telling him until you started showing was hilarious! Couldn't help laughing. Not sure many would go for that idea. hehe

*I'm following this "series", hoping to get inspiration for my own little baby-number-two convincing project!

*I think I may start your little challenge....im wanting to get pregnant again soon, and he is saying definitely not! maybe trying it your way might work! good luck!

Sigh!

NiceGuysSTFU · 2012-05-08T22:58:52+00:00

This kind of thing is just sad, really. But I don't think she's necessarily wrong for wanting another kid and pushing for it so bad.
