[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my situation almost exactly. Except my first, and only, was born before yours. But he takes all of my energy and patience. I am glad we dont have a second because i am able to focus on his needs and occasionally still have time for myself. But I have a close friend with an older child like mine, and second very easy going child and she says having the 2nd makes the 1st easier because she had perspective that its not her fault, and is able to enjoy some parenting things that she cannot with the first, so its a rewarding experience. Its impossible to tell what your scenario will be. I think you have to go in to it accepting that it could be worse. If you cant handle that, dont gamble.[/quote] Kind of this. I’d really consider what it will mean if your older child doesn’t go to college, marry, etc. To me, I wanted a chance to experience those things. [/quote]
