It's hard being a new mom (or even an experienced mom to a new baby) and sometimes we do things we know we shouldn't, despite what all the experts say. But this is a safe place to share your secrets—we won't tell.
This Week's Secret:
"I have a 6-month-old and I want another baby, but my husband doesn't. He changes the subject every time I bring it up. He doesn't know it, but I've stopped using birth control and I am seducing him on my most fertile days." —anonymous

Wow, that's called entrapment. No I am sorry I would never do that. If I have another child, it would be because BOTH of us want one.
wow. any one who does that needs a mental evaluation. no wonder there are so many dead beat dads when we have women being secretive and misleading to the fathers.
OMG that sounds like a recipe for disaster. What if her dh gets so pissed he leaves when he founds out?
I have a cousin that when he married this girl they agreed there would be no children. Well she got pregnant and my cousin was livid. Well this broke up the marriage and the child is now in foster care with mental issues.
I lied and said I ran out of refills and was off the pill. But he knew I was off it! He also had agreed to have another child. It was half hearted and more because I wanted another one, but he agreed to try.
She's two now and the light of his world.
If she gets pregnant, she has to lie to him for the rest of her life. She'll have to say I have no idea how it happened, etc. etc. I cannot imagine doing that to my husband, how that would just shatter the trust.
That is just stupid, and possibly one of the most selfish things I have ever heard. Someone immature enough to do something like this should not have children.
this is not good for their marriage. marriage is a partnership, not one person deciding something without the other person's knowledge, especially something as big as bringing a child into the world.
honestly, i'm kinda disgusted at some of these confessions. babies should be brought into households where they are wanted by both partners. making this sort of thing into a gossipy post, asking others if they've done it too, almost makes it seem ok to do, and it's not. there are plenty of couples who wish upon wish that they could have a baby and irresponsible, self-absorbed women are lying to their partners just so they can get a baby when they want to? no wonder the divorce rate is so high.
For me, that would be a huge betrayal of trust- I have done bad things in my time but never considered this one. I know a woman who did that (holes in condoms) on purpose to trap a man who was going to leave, and I felt SO bad for that innocent little baby who would be between all that. My husband's trust is very very meaningful for me and I hope I never break it like that.
