[quote=Anonymous]What I didn't realize before my first is that a lot of stuff parents do that seems crazy (eg obsess over schedules / nap time, over an exact bedtime routine etc) isn't b/c they're worried about their kid, its because they're worried about themselves and are just trying to control what they can to get more rest / make things easier What I didn't realize before i had two was how much harder a second child can make the first child. It's not just adding another person to take care of, it's adding this whole new chunk of work due to what may have been an easy kid before, now being jealous / trying to get attention / whiny because change is tough / fighting over toys later on How about you? I'm particularly excited to hear from people that have 3+ kids as it kind of feels like by 2 you should understand what you're getting into with another but i'm sure each kid brings new surprises that you didn't realize in advance[/quote]
