I Want a Baby, He Doesn't [Paperback]

Donna Wade (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 30, 2005

It is commonly acknowledged that men and women argue more about money, sex and childrearing than anything else. Yet while there are many books on those important issues, there isn't a book available on a fourth major issue that is often more emotionally charged than the first three: what to do when the woman wants a baby and the man doesn't. Until now. I Want a Baby, He Doesn't - from a woman who has personally experienced and mutually resolved, this issue with her husband and a licensed marital therapist - advises couples on how to work with each other to reach the best possible resolution without destroying the relationship. Whether it's merely a matter of timing, emotional unreadiness, financial challenges, or a deeper issue between a man and woman, I Want a Baby, He Doesn't is completely unbiased in its approach as it helps couples arrive at the right decision as partners - even if it means waiting until both are ready or discovering in some situations that the best solution is deciding not to have children at all.

This review is from: I Want A Baby, He Doesn't: How Both Partners Can Make The Right Decision At The Right Time (Paperback)

just look at the cover. she's the hurt victim, he's the uncaring jerk. this book
takes that tack throughout. the author pays lip service to the idea that both partners need to make the 'right decision', but in reality, this book is all about how to get him to agree to have a child.
look at the marketing of the title itself; if this book were truly neutral, it would be called "she wants a baby, he doesn't".
this book is marketed to women with a specific goal in mind.

I like that this book covers the whole spectrum. It's not just about convincing him to do what I want.
