[quote=Anonymous]I'm with the PP.  I had such a hard time bonding with my oldest.  I still do. He's his daddy's son!  We love each other and he's a lot like me but I'll tell you what - my second makes me wish for a third which would never happen - just not practical nor feasible for our situation but she makes me understand why parents have more than 1.  Listen - everyone's right - with 2 it's hella more everything.  You may hate it more but and it's a big but - kids are different. Your response to every kid you have will b different. You should talk to your partner about it.  It's simply not true if you had a hard time with the first it's everyone sane nor if your first was great and you get excited on second, you get what you wished for.  Typically though I admit it's one harder and one easier.  However, my eldest is easier.  Ironically though my second is a damn pain in my ass she and I are bonded and the identity I have as a mother is due to having her.  I think like so many things in life you have to go with what you ultimately want v. What you think will happen.  Sometimes it's a leap of faith that you only have.  Good luck![/quote]
