My wife wants another kid after a decade, since our last child

My wife wants another kid after a decade, since our last child

Chicken and broccoli with broccoli cheddar soup, my wife and I have been together now 12 years we have a 10 year old and soon to be 8 year old and I’m about 3 weeks post op from a tumor removal and my wife is Adamant we have another baby.

To note we did have our two kids out of wed lock. Since then we have moved three time for my work. She has been a stay at home mom as that was her dream of raising her kids. And I had no complaint with that as I make what I think is very stable income. My wife and I have our own hobbies as do our kids. I like to race cars and have on and off for 20 years. My wife like to craft and thrift which has gotten out of hand and she has a full two garage full of junk.

On top of this it’s been a passive aggressive 6 month talk about bringing another child into this world. I have worries as our youngest has a genetic hormone disorder and though we love our son to death we would hate to have the same hormone disorder passed to another kid.

This is a main part of why I don’t want anymore kids but she doesn’t think that’s enough reason. Her mindset is that another kids is a few extra carrots in the stew pot and we are good. We are not…. We have no baby anything so that would be a complete reset after the whole baby phase.

I also just started another car project a few months back and I feel like this is her way of saying you got a car so I get a kid??? In my head those two items don’t equate.

I’m scared she is going to try and pull an ultimatium on me of the kid or she’s out. If so I’m at the hard fork in the road on what to do.

Cleaning up the place

Just getting the place cleaned up, mowed, weed whacked, and trimmed some bushes and trees. Just getting the garden going decent and working away to make the outdoors be the place to be.

Been working on wall framing and insulation

This has been the current work load before I become unable to lift my self up due to surgery. But working with 2x6’s. Poly iso insulation board before being covering with some OBS and paint. I do plan on having electrical done afterwards with conduit through out.

Anyone else go thru great lengths to beat the summer heat? South Texas ain’t no joke when it comes to heat

Been a long time Subaru owner but first Outback to the family.

Just picked up this 08 Subaru Outback xt. It’s a salvage flood car but runs and drives and looks like it’s overall very clean.

What usual outback issues I should look for that may not arise in the Impreza side of the family?
