After some minor arguments over a period of time, one fine day:
Wife: I want a 2nd kid
Husband: I don’t want a 2nd kid
W: WTF !!
H: Yes
W: Why?
H: Multiple reasons. I don’t want to see you go through that whole painful process again. Moreover, I am concerned about the future. Let us give the best to the kid we have. Let us settle down also, you get a life
W: I can start my career at any time later but my age is increasing, it will be more complicated if it gets delayed further
H: I don’t see in the farthest horizon of you doing something for yourself in the next 5 years atleast, if you have a 2nd kid and then it is impossible. Don’t you see how difficult it is to manage the first one? I don’t see the end of the tunnel and you are up for 2nd one. Don’t you see how expensive it has become? I am not even remotely interested to give another life. I don’t want to commit a second mistake
W: I have heard and seen lot of cases where 2nd one was is quite opposite to the 1st one. And raising a single kid affects the kid’s mentality. Will not know sharing. Will be left alone. We have to engage the kid if there is no sibling
H: I don’t know what is this kid will be alone thing? Kid will have friends
W: Having a sibling is different. They will be together and rely upon one another in needy times. You will not understand
H: Yeah, maybe I can understand after 100 years. So you want to go through the entire process of delivery a kid, having seen how painful it is after delivery, taking care of the baby ?
W: YES
H: What if the 2nd kid turns out to be more annoying than the 1st one? Does not eat?
W: Nope, based on what I heard, what I saw, 2nd kids are not at all like 1st one
H: Are you crazy? That is bull shit theory
W: Blah blah blah
H: Blah blah blah
Yet, after another set of days, nights, H succumbed, went ahead with W's desire.
Post delivery – for 1 week:
W: Oh my GOD, I thought it would not be painful to this extent. I cannot bear this
H: Blank stare
W: My cousin told me that 2nd delivery would be easy. Nothing to worry. This is so painful.
H: Blank stare
W: (crying) I don't get sleep during nights. I am getting crazier due to lack of sleep
H: Blank stare
After an year of birth:
W: Oh my gosh I cannot run behind the 2nd one. I am dying to manage these 2 kids with you being busy in office work. I don't have the energy
H: Blank stare
W: Kid is not even interested to eat, drinks only milk. 1st one atleast had food till a point of time obediently. I am suffering to make her eat something
H: Blank stare
W: I am not even having a 30 mins of time for myself
H: Blank stare
W: I am not getting enough sleep; the kids do not even sleep peacefully. Have to watch them over even after they fall asleep
H: Blank stare
W: 2nd one is more dangerous than the 1st one. 1st one never did things like these. 2nd one is more naughty, destructive mindset than the 1st one. I never thought the 2nd kid would be like this
H: Blank stare
W: It is all because of you. You had all these thoughts in your mind and that is how the seed came
H: !!??
(Never) to be concluded…
