[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two children, 3 years apart, and it's been very helpful during this pandemic. They play together, sleep in the same bed, make our house feel full and not lonely. We've found there's an economy of scale with siblings. They're both the same sex, so we can use the same clothes. They can also use hand me down bikes, toys, books, etc. Child care costs are a factor as well as camp or activity fees. But we would never have it another way. if you;re both not convinced, stick with one. How does your child feel? Maybe consider what she wants?[/quote]

How on earth is this a useful reply to the OP‘s question? Your experience has nothing to do what she’s asked about. This thread was impressively free of parents of multiples bragging about how much better their situation is until you posted…

And no, ffs, OP shouldn’t make a decision about her family size depending on what her child wants! Kids don’t get to make major life decisions for their families. That’s messed up in so many ways.[/quote]

Seriously. You shouldn’t even get a pet purely based on what your kid wants, much less have a CHILD. Jeez.[/quote]
