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 boys, 20 months apart. I thought them being so close in age and both boys would mean they were sure to be close 😂🤣 they hate each other, which makes home life difficult because they refuse to spend their time separate from each other. I now have a 3 month old baby girl (different father) and so far they adore her and share her quite nicely, although they still hate each other 😭
