Have you been asked this question about being “ready” for having more children? I’ve noticed that when I had just one child, the question was, “Are you ready for another one?”. Now that I have two, it’s switched to, “Are you done or do you plan to have more?”. Of course, the way that these questions are asked makes a huge difference. Danielle from More Than Four Walls talks about the mindset behind the negatively asked questions.
“Why do people talk about children like this? Like they are burdens?
I hear this most often from people who actually have children…
Having children is like touching heaven. It’s a glimpse of God’s goodness.”

Oh this post spoke to me! People are asking me this all the time now. I have a daughter who turned two in July and I have been having a battle with myself for a while now. I had severe PPD with my daughter and it terrified me! I have approached my husband about having more and well he said he doesn’t want anymore:( I prayed that he will have a change of heart as I feel that I caused him to feel that way about having more. It was hard for him too when I was depressed. I would love more children and would love to have a chance to experience that pure joy that I didn’t have the first time.
I’ll pray for you! That is a difficult situation, but maybe he’ll have a change of heart.
Thanks so much for the comment!
