Why does my husband blow so hot & cold with trying for another baby?
Basically, I have spoke to him several times about having another baby, no pressure on it. But it frustrates me that he blows hot and cold about it, one minute he's like "I wonder what our oldest would be like as a bro" "anything can happen in life, lifes too short not to", Saying baby names he likes and asking if I like them. "What would be your ideal month?" We would be alright, things are stable and have support. All positive and hopeful stuff.
Few days later or something he's like have "if we do have another one." "We would have to move out if opposite sex" due to 2 bed(not for even 5 years+) it's not even a forever home we know this. "Childcare is too expensive" "could you cope with another" on a bad day with first baby he'd be like "and YOU want another one etc" then I get upset and confused.

The thought of another is as much daunting as it is a great thing, it’s a big deal and I feel like his response is a normal thing. One day I’m like omgggg I want to give my son a sibling and then there’s other days where I’m like out of my mind with just one, i wouldn’t overthink it though x
I was your husband in this scenario lol. Having a baby is a big upheaval, so it's ok for him to be a little anxious about it
Yh if we think too much we won’t do most things
Thank you girls for your thoughts, going to sit down with him properly at the weekend about it🤞, might be just me being overly sensitive and it is just natural thoughts.

Sit down and speak with him, tell him what you've just written here, he's probably confused himself it's a big decision having another child
