[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just say I came in here to answer but seeing all the responses I want to let you know I had a second and he’s a freaking adorable smush and I didn’t know I could love both my kids so much because I adore my first kid. So I’m just gushing that you should have a second only if YOU want one and they can both be your everything [/quote]

Of course you love your babies. That doesn’t mean you have the bandwidth or resources to be the best parent to all of those kids. I have religious family members that talk like you while continuing to have more kids. The families are **so in love ** and stressed and overextended. Wanting a baby is necessary, but not sufficient.  [/quote]

+1. Every time my sister has another baby (#4 now) she promptly shifts most of her attention over and largely ignores the other three. She also has no plan to pay for 4 college educations but doesn’t let that bother her one bit.[/quote]

My mom was like thus. She loooooved babies. Would’ve had as many as my dad would agree too. The problem with this is that she was a great mom to babies, but babies grow up and become kids fairly quickly. She was pretty uninterested in us as kids and even more uninterested in us as adults. [/quote]
