Wanting More Babies = Immaturity?

Posted on 23. Sep, 2009 by SHM Staff in CLIPS FROM SHM DISCUSSION FORUMS, Marriage, Parenting

In the SHM Community Forums, from which this question is excerpted, Jimmy answers a question of a husband about what to do with his wife who wants to have more than enough babies that he can feed. He said:

Hello Manny! It's good to see you back again It's been a long time since you've been around, right?

About your wife, no bueno. If it's not a religious thing for her, maybe she just is immature? Some people never want to grow up and having babies is a way to keep themselves in a baby world.

If you feel like 5 kids are enough to support, then it's enough. The sad thing is that both of you should be able to plan a family together.

Do you know a wise older person you can talk to? Can you find someone she'd respect and have a private talk with them? If they agree with you, ask her to come talk with that person. Maybe you can fiend an open-minded religious leader who agrees with you? Or a marriage counselor?

Let us know how it goes. This is a very, very difficult situation.
