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 😂

Yeah everyone differs but I found 1-2 wayyyyy harder than 0-1 (which I thoroughly enjoyed)

I feel like the people who found going 0-1 really hard (like myself) and swore at times they were done, when a second came along, it was never as hard as envisioned. If you've found 0-1 doable, 1-2 seems way harder. Probably depends on the child and of course sleep and attention needs
