[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, all of the people who are answering this post with "let me tell you why it's great to have two" are jerks. Re read the post. The OP is looking for experiences, not to feel worse.

OP, I'm in the same boat. At first it was really hard, but now I am appreciating the ease and grace and peace that comes with having one. Travel? Sure. Private school? No problem. Our lives are just really relaxed and mellow in a way that I can't imagine with the larger family. It's sweet.

I think making a conscious effort to open up your home to DC's friends is important.

No, DC isn't selfish and doesn't demand to be entertained. He's a laid-back little dude, and I think that's partially because he lives in a relaxed environment.

Is it what I would've chosen? No. But it has plenty of perks, and some of those are important ones.[/quote]

Sorry you take it that way, I wasn't trying to be a jerk.  Like I said - I was leaning towards having one child.  I was blissfully happy having one child.  And I think it would have worked out fine for us to have only one kid.  But [b]we wound up having two kids and our second has been a real joy for us as well[/b].

Yay! Your reason for sharing that here is..?

OP isn't trying to make up his or her mind. OP is dealing with the hand life has dealt. Your sharing your joy in this particular forum is neither kind nor helpful.

- Not OP, but I could be[/quote]
