[quote=Anonymous]We have one kid and we're planning to have a second but the found ourselves totally alone with navigating the pandemic with a 3 yr old -- no family help at all, the public PK program we'd been counting on evaporated (went "virtual") just as our kid was supposed to start, and the availability of private care options was insufficient because so many families were in the same boat. So at the time I might have been looking to get pregnant, we were barely getting by as a family and those plans got shelved. By the time it shook out, I was exhausted and burned out and just didn't have the energy for another pregnancy. But now I'm glad. Yes I sometimes mourn not having another child-- I love being a mom and I would have loved another child every bit as I love the one I have. But everything is easier with one kid and the further I get into parenting the more "easier" becomes a priority.[/quote]
