Is the second one easier or harder?
Post Body

Me and my wife already have a son (1yo, October) and I love him to death. Iā€™m dying to have another one cause I just feel our family is not complete yet. She feels the same way but is a little comprehensive about getting a second child because she really underestimated how your life/body/mental state changes once your first child is born.

For all the dads/parents with 2 (or more) children; Is the second one easier or harder. Personally Iā€™d think a second one would just go with the flow of parenting in general but Iā€™d like to hear from some of you who have actual experience with 2.

Thanks!

How would anyone know what it will be for you and your eventuall new child? I mean, every child is different. All anyone can do is share their own experience, which will all be quite different from eachother.

I have 8 siblings. And my parents say that each of us was a totaly different experience. Me eing the nightmare that keept them aeake the most at night. šŸ˜…

I myself have 2 kids.. the first one keept us awake all night, every night for a full year.. our second one, we was hesitant to go through with the pregnancy, because of our experience with our first one.. but we totaly hit the baby jackpot with that one, because she sleeps all nights, 8 pm to 7 am. Every night!! She is hardly ever cranky, only when sick. Not even when hungry, since she is really good at showing when she starts to get hungry.

Our big child loves his little sister, and there are absolutely no rivelry between them, which we heard is pretty common between young siblings.

So.. with that said. A second child may be a cake walk, or a complete hell.. or anything inbetween.
