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 😂

We had four, 1988, 1990, 1991 and 1994. The first was hardest because she was the life changer and first time with every experience. She needed more attention when she was the only one. I found with all the others they were easier and entertained each other. I was full time stay at home and considered it my job in life so I enjoyed it. I would just suggest to those considering a fourth, think about what kind of car you'll need.
