[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is someone seriously surprised that two or three kids take more time and energy to raise than just one?[/quote]

Right? Isn’t that obvious? I have 3 because that’s what I wanted for my family but was at no point under the impression that it would be as easy as having an only [/quote]

Again with the sentiment that having an only is the “easy” way out of parenting  :roll: [/quote]

DP but no.  That’s you seeing criticism where it was probably not intended.

[b]Generally, moms with one kid have more time and energy for themselves than moms with more than one kid. [/b] That’s it.  That’s all.  It’s not a value judgment on your decision to have one child.  It’s really, really not.[/quote]

You are ignoring so many factors it's honestly laughable. But ok, go on with yourself. [/quote]

I said, "generally."  If you think that, generally, that's not the case, you're entitled to your opinion.  No one can account for every single factor at play here but, yes, *generally* having two kids means less downtime for parents than having one kid.   It's really not that difficult.

This thread went off the rails on the first page, with this post:

"No, the point of the OP is to put down moms who didn’t make the reproductive choices she did by making it sound like the have more luxury or something by only having a singleton. As anyone with a singleton knows, there are pros and cons, “built in playmate” included. EVERYONE is managing life, but when yiu complain that someone else doesn’t have it as hard as YOU do, it’s navel gazing."

If you read that level of venom in the OP's fairly benign post, that's on you, and no one else.[/quote]
