[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me the biggest difference from 1 to 2 is that you never really get a break. At least when it was just 1 kid, one parent could be "off duty" every once in a while. With 2, it's just harder to do that. [/quote] Agree with this poster. It's two different personalities to learn to handle; two sets of food preferences and in our case, one set of bad food allergies. Twice the doctors and dental appointments. Lots of fights and tears (though lots of sweet moments too). Twice the worries and often different kinds of worries- one child is tall and skinny and we were told to get his weight back up; the other one is short and husky and we worry that she weighs and eats too much. Making dinner is hard to fit both kids' needs and as I mentioned, one has food allergies. When the younger one was napping several times a day, I felt trapped in the house because someone was napping all day long.[/quote]
