One or two?

[Whatnext2018]

If you have more than one child, were you happier when you just had one or when you had another? In all honesty..

I was happier with one. I have two and the second was very much wanted and is very loved. But it is harder. Had I the option again though, I wouldnt have an only child.

I have 3 and 4sc ages 1-20
I love my crazy house specially tea time
But girls are so argumentative and know their own mind. Drives me around the bend , she looks like a tramp 90% of the time as she has to dress herself and I will never win this argument- she's 3 !!!!!!
DSD 13- moody teenager, got the point her mum said she won't even give her her uniform to wash to go to school 🤬 !! Doesn't act like this at ours though but girls!! Boys are so laid back!!

I have 18 months between my two.
They are still tiny...a toddler and a baby.
I am so happy with two. It's hard work because we don't use any external childcare, we don't have any family help and I am exclusively breastfeeding.
It is tiring but we are are doing it!
If it wasn't for my age, we'd have had another one or two.
I am an only child though, and I have hated it since I was about 14. I was determined to have at least two.
It's not as hard as some people make it, even in the early years (talking about kids with no sen etc).

I have two and very happy I never needed any more. But if DC2 had not been possible for any reason I would have been happy with one.

I had mine so close together so difficult to answer.
I loved my first so much and was so happy I wondered whether I would have enough love to love the second as much. But when she came along I had no problems with that. We also instantly felt like a family rather than a couple with a baby if that makes sense. Having two so close together has been challenging dividing my attention and handling arguments but also its been very rewarding seeing them playing, having fun and growing up together.

Same I would have been happy with one but when DC2 happened it wasn’t disappointing.
