We have a 19 month old and I really want one, but he said he wants to get a better job first. He is kinda motivated at the job search but you can tell its not at the top of things to do. How can i convince him i don't want my kids 5 yrs. apart?

you could research the effect it has on children when they have siblings close to their age that they can relate to....point out that if he stays motivated he will have a better job in 9 months (assuming you get pregnant immidiately.) also, sit him down and talk to him and tell him what you want in your relationship as far as children go, and see what he says.....if he's still against it? get pregnant and refuse to have an abortion.

Tell him the kids will suffer by always being into different things and not being able to play together. Then tell him how 2 kids will force his motivation in the job search. Then tell him the one is lonely.

It depends how old you are. If you are under 30, there is till time and your husband is right.
If you are 30-35, tell him you're not getting any younger and it will be better for the baby to start trying to conceive now.
If you are over 35, either do it right now or forget about it.

I can understand your husbands point of view. My husband and I have been waiting for me to finish college so we can have another one. It's a difficult decision , have another one and risk not having the extra $ or wait and risk having them too far apart.

he has a good point but so do you. Just let it rest for now, bring it up in 6 months
