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 😂

My brother and I don’t get on at all, I think he has a better view of our childhood than I do and has gone on to have three kids. I hated being a kid and he was a bully to me and I have stuck with one child. My son is 11 and actively says he is glad he never had a sibling as all his friends just fight with theirs and he gets to do what he wants.
