I would really like a little brother or sister. How do I convince my parents to have another.
-I'm 15 and my bro is 16
-Don't say wait till I can have babies of my own.
-I've wanted a baby bro/sis since I was 5!

We can afford it. We own our own house and it's plenty big for another little one! It has 5 bedrooms and when relitives come down it can sleep 10 (using 4 rooms!)

I babysit most weekends overnight for a 6 y/o, 5y/o and a 3 y/o. And once a month I babysit overnight for a 3 y/o and a 1 y/o. But it's not the same as having a little bro/sis to love and to have look up to u.

I love the kids that I babysit for, they reakky are great :O) but saying to me that you have the kids you babysit for is like saying to somebody sure don't you have your nieces/nephews!

I don't get on with my bro at all, thats part of the reason. I'm not going to go and get pregnant myself. I'm not stupid.
Could I mention to them that fostering/adoption is a really good thing to do?

My mum's not on the pill..................

There is no reason why she can't have more! She is in her early 40's but loads of women have babies at this stage.

There might be other reasons why your mother hasn't had any other children. Her age could easily be a factor, and her health. She may have been warned against having another child by her doctors after having you, did you not think of that?
I suppose you could ask them why they didn't have any more children after you, and what would they do now if they learned that another was on the way.
In truth, most parents prefer to have their kids close together and get all the night feeds/nappy changing/ projectile vomiting, pooing or peeing over and done with an concentrated into a few years of their life. You don't know what it's like until you have had to deal with it yourself.

Your parents may be too old to have more children. Once you are over 35 it is very hard to conceive. Also, do you have any idea of the expense of having a baby? It costs close to $6000. the first year and that's assuming that you have maternity benefits and insurance which your parents probably no longer have.
We all want things we cannot have. Be happy that you have both parents and a sibling. That's more than lots of kids your age have.

If you spiked your mum with antibiotics of some sort it could antagonise the effect of the contraceptive pill. The pill is secreted into the intestine in bile and then taken up again. Antibiotics can bind the drug in the intestine, stopping it from being reabsorbed.
Depends on the type of pill and stuff as well, obviously not in any way ethical and doesn't help with convincing the parents, sorry.

Congratulations on the most immature and unrealistic question I've read today... You sure you're 15 and not 5?
Oh the joy of Yahoo! Answers during school holidays.
Wait til you have a "grown up" relationship and realise that it is far from as simple as you think... Then come back and apologise.

Sorry, it's not going to happen. Evidently your parents chose to only have 2 children for a reason. I'm sure that after nearly raising their children they would NOT want to go back to diapers, around the clock feedings, potty training, tantrums, etc all over again. It's just not worth it after 15 years.

Its not easy funding a family and your parents may not want another child,its hard work. You should stop pressuring your parents into havin another child and focus on your studies. Your 15,your guna leaving home in a fewyears time and there guna be left with a baby. Leave your folks alone!

You should ask your parents if they want to have another child. Tell them how much it would mean to you. Also if they don't want to that's their choice. Maybe you should try babysitting younger kids. It's alot of fun and they get very attached to you even if your not their sibiling. There are charity programs that you could help young children too.

I doubt that will happen. Its thier choice to make you can't convience them otherwise. They are already out of the baby stage and into the teenage stage of parenting not very many people want to start over.
