My son is already 2yo and hubby is urging me to have the 4th one. He said that 3 is too few and when it comes to financial need, we will burden them in the future since there is only 3 unlike his siblings; there are 11 of them. He can’t compare his mom and myself. The food that we eat is totally different; our lifestyles too. There is possibility that my life span is shorter than her!
Furthermore, I had breast infection after I gave birth to my son; had a minor surgery to remove the abscess and it took more than month for it to heal. I can’t imagine the pain if the breast were to be engorged again with milk. Nowadays, I often fall sick and experiencing pain on my right tummy again (I have medical history).
Even though I told him all that, he still do not want to comprehend my situation. I think he’d rather see me die earlier. That is what I fear would happened to me after I give birth to the 4th child; my health will continue to deteriorate.
Not many children to take care of me, never mind; I don’t mind living in an institution like Houston assisted living home when I grow old. I want to grow old, not die young.
