What does she honestly believe she will gain from having another child? Don't get me wrong anyone is entitled to add to their family I genuinely mean that but respectfully the girl comes across as someone who is mentally unwell. She's admitted to being a control freak which there's no denying but her poor son is pawned off at every opportunity. She doesn't dedicate her life or time with him any chance she gets shes off to a salon or on a date night or talking shite into her phone. She doesn't shower him, she doesn't do his homework with him, she can't take him to cut his hair. Now that makes me incredibly sad but that's what thousands of us have witnessed on so many occasions. She talks about not being mentally prepared for the journey. What if there's complications? What if this baby that's magically going to make you happy is born with special needs? God forgive me but is she not preparing herself for the what ifs? If she can shut her own family out because she didn't get the news she wanted then quite obviously she's not mature enough or stable enough to deal with the good and the bad. In the real world its not always possible to go into your room and cry for the weekend and sure let the rest of them deal with your child. Is she not concerned about post natal depression? Speaking from experience here, a mammy that is suffering before she conceives has a very strong chance of suffering during and after too. Consider the people around you, you pipe on about your partner, your partner is a grown man but your son is going through every bit of this too. Your plans may be to extend your family and best of luck with that but right now your family is complete. Stop waiting for a sibling to appreciate your family right now.
