Has anyone else out there experienced a lot of not very supportive responses from friends and family?
I do have three children from a previous marriage. Everyone I've spoken to has mentioned that I already have three, why do I need more? They don't seem to support our interest in having another child at all. Honestly, it's hard on us (probably me in particular).
It's true that I have three children, but they were with my exhusband. I've been with my husband for 5 years now, and we'd love to add to our family. We're far older and wiser, financially secure, able to provide for a child. I just don't understand why people seem to think it's such a bad idea.
I hear a lot of responses like "but you're so far beyond that" or "why would you want to go through all that again". For me, this is my chance to do it all again from the very beginning with the man I love, in the right place and the right time in my life.
Anyway, maybe others can understand. Right now, I feel almost isolated and embarassed about the entire thing.
