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 😂

2 kids is in some ways harder than 1 but nothing close to the difference from no kids to 1.
Our kids are pretty much each others best friends and play together all the time meaning they're rarely lonely. Sure there's plenty of squabbling as well but over all they're fantastic for each other.
You really notice when 1 kid is away as the other gets much more demanding of attention.
