<POLL> How much do you talk about it with your OH?

Lilly12 · May 27th, 2010, 20:02 PM

Im wondering how often everybody on here talks about baby related things with their OH.

I think Im kind of very impatient and pushy, while I dont mean to be but I just like to talk about baby related things and my husband sees it as trying to push or rush him.
I talk about baby related things at least once a day

Usually when AF arrives I feel very "baby crazy".
Then when that stops it kind of slows down, untill the end of 2 week wait then it kinda starts again...LOL.

Sometimes I feel bad for my husband

My OH talks about starting a family more than I do, maybe once a week or once a fortnight

He wants to start a family before he is 30, but hasn't given an exact date or age when he wants to be a dad.

okay--for clarity, i answered once a week--on average...but lately it has been every few days

) i too ebb and flow with my cycle for how much we talk about it. it seems to come up a little more casually now from us both--like last night we discussed kids and TV and how when we have kids....etc. i've laid off the talk this week cuz SO seems stressed out about other things--he's kind of on edge about random things so better to just leave it be.

id say once a week...about that anyway...it can vary

i like when he brings the "baby" topic up

Amygdala · May 28th, 2010, 02:04 AM

Every day. But the we're getting quite close now and are both extremely excited. Although DH seems to get a bit fed up with the thought of having to wait 9 months for the baby to actually pop out. Bless him.

varies for me throughout the month- if im super broody it will be every single conversation we have, otherwise its every few days - i answered once a week as this was the closest option. That said he does comment every night that i'm on here (every night then..) that "he is losing me to baby and bump.com!"

I've said once a day because as we are making decisions and thats what it is at the moment. However that usually consists of me saying 'Can I have a baby please?' and him saying 'Yes but not right now'. So I guess its sort of a joke.

I hope that I can reduce that down to once a week or once every two weeks. Purely because otherwise it will drive us both mad!

Just about every day we mention it, with good chats about it at least once a week - we really cant wait!

princess_bump · May 28th, 2010, 04:36 AM

i voted once a week; but it's probably more like every day/every other day at the min! obviously we talk about our daughter constantly and i think the excitement and wonderment of having her means we both get thoroughly over excited at the thought of another one

i can get away with talking about it once a week without him getting annoyed but i would everyday if i could.
i'm like you with the impatient pushy thing and my oh also see's it as pushing him - he has said that that the more i push the more i push him away from the idea.
