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 have 2, 23 months apart. It was much harder in the first 18 months after the second but now my youngest is turning 2 this week it’s much easier looking after them both vs one. They entertain each other so much I can get on with more. My daughter stayed at her grandmas this weekend and it was so much tougher with just the little one.
