So..my husband said I could have...

I already have 5 dogs and I'm too old for another child...I'd take the bracelet.
You can do a lot of compromising with this scenario...take advantage of your situation. LOL!
 
Those choices are a bit strange. A baby and a dog really have nothing to do with a Love Bracelet. My DH would never dare say something like that to me. :nono:I would reply, how about WE decide if dog and /or baby are best for the family, and I get the Love bracelet because it is best for me.

Ditto
 
I wouldn't choose any of them. You've stated that you're not really into the bracelet, just choosing a LB as its a smarter investment - true but really any gold bracelet at the moment is an investment, so how about just a plain rose gold bangle in the meantime, to satisfy your rose gold craving?

Children and pets (dogs) are life-long and life changing commitments. If you're heart is not 110% ready for either (or your're doing it to satisfy someone else) don't even consider it.

How about taking a 'rain check' on the options for something that you know absolutely that you want!
 
This list of choices makes no sense at all, even if presented as a thought-provoker. They have nothing at all in common. If someone is not committed enough to having another child that they have to debate between that and a bracelet, then the answer is obvious - NO to the child!!!

My husband would never present me with the notion that I had to choose between 3 things, especially such a random set of things, no matter what the reason. It's not only condescending, it's illogical. I'm thinking that the OP must have written this up in such a way as to make it an interesting choice, not that her husband actually expects her to choose between these three things.
 
It was intended to be comical, though I am sure all three are things they've discussed. Everyone is seriously taking this so personally. This woman is NOT controlled by her man, he is in no way a condescending illogical person.
 
I still say puppy, german sheppard puppies are soo cute with their floppy ears :D

they are a lot of work though...my dad's male newfie just turned 2 and he's only now settling down- he was a terror for the first year!!!

love bracelets are never terrors...:graucho:

I agree! Some people took this to another level. When I read the OP's post I laughed. :D

Me..controlled??? AS IF..lol. You all don't know me and thats fine but I'm like the roaring wind. Wild, crazy, independen, strong and fierce as hell. I'm also odd and strange and always follow MY path, even if it's through quick sand because I'm stubborn enough to prove I can. I'm also immensely passionate and abounding with love for those who I care about.
My husband is the only man I ever meant who was smart and strong enough to not only keep my interest and capture my heart, but he's also strong and confident enough to never ever try to run my life. He is full of love and partnership. I'm actually amazed at his ability to let me be ..cause it can't be easy..lol

Agree. I was thinking these are the weird hypothetical questions DH would give me when we play around. It's one of the many reasons I love DH cause we can be goofy together. I don't think SK meant it the way people are taking it.

Yes and Yes. He did kinda mean it but not the way people are taking it. Like I said, he'd give me whatever I wanted...but he was helping me to see my priorities...and it worked. But I'm odd...and he knows me better than I know me.
 
I'm fixed and I'm not a pet person I'd take the jewelry, lol
however since your dh wants the baby, I'd tell him sure but I need the bracelet as a push present, lol

Yea I haven't known you that long but I know you well enough to know you are NOT controlled. lol at all. Much like I am not.

I agree that is strange. It irritates me when women say "my husband let me" or "said I can have" like the decision is all his.
This type of relationship is not for me
 
While even if he's trying to 'help' you, I find this a rather odd and unfair ultimatim... you can't put a child and a piece of jewelry in the same category. You don't seem like you want the dog, and honestly if the kids and your husband want it so much they will figure out another way to get the dog. It's unfair to put you in that position, but anyway go for the bracelet, and think about if you really do want a child, you don't seem to eager for it so maybe go spend some time with some friends with babies and see if they need a babysitter for some hours. Then see if you like managing the baby and your two lovely daughters. My DBF's family got a german shepard last year, and it is SUCH a hand ful, and his mom was not on board and she already had so much going on. It was a real strain on her. I can't imagine what it would be like bring a german shepard puppy while having two young children... that's going to be ALOT of work for you.
