I'm going to sound very PFB, but here goes...
I think we have a very close relationship with and absolutely adore DD (2.5). She is fun, imaginative and at times rather determined. We take a "pick your battles" approach with her, so we do have boundaries, but she probably gets her own way more than she would be able to if she wasn't an only child and she gets very focused attention at times. I am a WOHM, so we aren't constantly together. We are trying to decide about whether to try for a second child. I think that I would be unhappy if the quality of my relationship with DD suffered by having DC2. However the idea of having a second with a similar sort of relationship sounds lovely.
Did the quality of your relationship with DC1 suffer with the arrival of DC2?
