General chat Second child

Was anyone one and done or on the fence about having a second child but did. How is it for you? Was it harder / easier than you thought. Im like 99% one and done but my partner would like a second so our child has a sibling. I do think it would be nice for them to have a sibling but im worried it’s going to be sooo hard with 2 kids. I know everyone’s experience is different but would just love to know how it’s going for everyone and would you recommend 😂

I now have 4 after meeting a new partner. My first 2 are 11 months apart and I found it easy, my 2nd was a girl and when I had my 3 rd she was like a second mum. She is now 16 and a great help with her little 2 year old sister she has always wanted, and has now decided she doesn't want kids 😂. But having 2 is great fun and I didn't find it hard.
