[quote=Anonymous]I have two and the oldest has severe ADHD (along with at least one other diagnosis and possibly clinical anxiety). When we had our second the oldest was not diagnosed but they had always been really challenging.

Younger one was a totally different experience- easy easy easy as a baby and a toddler. Gosh I really enjoyed those years. However he got a medical diagnosis that is not life threatening but pretty serious in early elementary school and it’s been a lot for all us. Older child is doing really well at school and socially but falls apart at home and takes out a lot on the younger one who is perceived as the favorite and “babied” in part because of their medical condition. We do everything we can to separate them after school but my husband is often not available so it’s challenging. I think it’s probably for the best we don’t have a third.

My husband was always set on 2 and the pandemic kind of squashed the end of the window I could have easily gotten pregnant again but I do sometimes have sadness that I don’t have another, even though it really wouldn’t have made sense. I love both my kids so much I know I would have enjoyed having another kid to love.[/quote]
