Mom of 3 pressures husband into having a 4th baby after they'd previously agreed to stop at 3: 'I wouldn’t have a strong connection to the baby because I didn’t want another baby in the first place'

There's a difference between kid people and baby people. Baby people love having babies. They always want someone to cuddle with who depends on them for everything. Babies might cry and scream for their basic needs, but they are less complicated than kids who can talk and demand exactly what they want. Kid people aren't as enthused about the baby stage. Sure, they think babies are cute and all, but they like the phase of parenting when kids can hold a conversation. It's fascinating to watch children's personalities develop through different stages of life. Kid people would never utter the phrase, "I wish you would stay little forever."

I'm not saying it's better to be a kid person than a baby person, but baby people need to know when to stop having kids. It's not healthy to prioritize having a fresh new baby over the needs of your older kids.

AITAH for telling my wife I don’t want anymore kids?

The mom in this story is a baby person who could spiral out of control. She has friends and social media influencers in her ear telling her that she needs to keep having babies to fulfill her, even though she and her husband had previously agreed to stop at three.
