[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people blindly have second children. I think if people thought about it the majority of people would stop at one. Most people have two kids because “that’s what you do”. Not bc they REALLY want one or have thought about the emotional and logistical implications. [/quote]

Honestly - I think most people blindly have one child. Not in a bad way. But you can't know what having a kid is like until you've done it. I would think a second child is a little more "eyes open," because you have some idea what a baby/child actually is.

I say this as a parent of one DD who is struggling with whether a second will enrich our lives or make us insane (maybe both).  But I'm also starting to feel the ache to have another baby in my arms - this time knowing what true exhaustion is and how loving a child is so beautiful/painful all at once. For me - and I think for a lot of people- the reality of parenting is a shock - having a second is done with more knowledge than was possible with the first. [/quote]
