In a perfect world, both parents would agree on how many children they want and those opinions would never change. However, for many of our listeners, that is not the case. Sometimes after having a child, people change their mind on having more. Other times, having one is a compromise in itself for folks who didn’t want any children in the first place. Being one and done is not always a decision made easily and we wanted to discuss what happens in a relationship when it is not a mutual choice. We read emails from people whose spouses felt differently on how many children they want, and we hear some birth stories and tales from the NICU that led some to change their minds on how many they wanted. We also hear a story about a couple that was not able to come to a satisfactory compromise and instead decided not to have children at all. In the pop culture segment, we discuss an episode from a very heartwarming TV show, Parenthood. Although the show is primarily about sibling relationships, there is an episode where the youngest of the family, Julia is asking her husband Joel if he wants to have a second child. We talk about their lack of communication and transparency on the topic and how it leads to problems in their relationship down the line. You can now support our show on Patreon.
