You can convince your significant other to see a movie you know they’d hate, or sit through a dinner with those friends of yours you know he or she can’t stand, but trying to convince your partner to have kids when not wanting one has already been decided is a far different battle to fight–or win.
According to a University of Michigan study of over 3,000 mothers who had just given birth, 60 percent reported their child as planned, almost 30 percent say the pregnancies were “mistimed,” and, most importantly, 10 percent admit the children were unequivocally “unwanted,” proving that just because a couple–or one half of it–doesn’t desire children, it doesn’t mean the couple always refrains from adding a new addition to the family.
