So just a little background. I am 22 my boyfriend is 30. I have a 4 year old son, and he has a 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter. I would love to have another baby... But when I bring it up to him he always blows if off and says things like we dont have the room in out apartment to have another baby. We kind of dont have to room but that doesnt stop me from wanting another baby. I am one of those people that thinks I can make almost anything work. I would make room for another baby if I needed too. What do you ladies think?

I'm with Louise. THis isnt the time to have another baby. Focus on the ones you have. Your step children are like your own. They need your time and love just as much. So focus on them. And if there is time, do somethng for yourself.

I think you have plenty of time here. There are three kids already in the picture. Your boyfriend is probably feeling a little overwhelmed. He will have to support 4 kids in total that is a lot of mouths to feed. The time does not seem right for him at the moment.

Work on moving first so that there is space for another baby, save a little money to make the financial burden a little less when the baby does arrive. Your boyfriend has not said no I dont want another baby has he? He is just reluctant to have another just yet.
