[quote=Anonymous]It's going to be one parent with each kid when you've got 2 - at least if its 3 or less years apart.  The nap thing sucks.  You'll always have one needing nap in the AM do on weekends it's super hard to do anything.  The personalities are another thing too though most have 1 easier than the other like we do too (#2).  I think what's hard is that there's always one who might be sick, might be fussing, might be fighting over a toy - it's always something.  Mentally if not physically its really exhausting.  While I live having a boy and a girl, this means hand me downs don't work and it sounds silly but it's just more stuff to get and need since you have to think about different genders.  Does this help?

On the bright side once they get to a certain age it's more fun.  But the first 18M - 2 yrs is really really hard.  I would like to suggest a 3+ yr age difference would make things easier but I don't know as mine are 2 1/2 yrs apart.  But personally if I waited 4-5 yrs I don't think I'd want to go through all the baby stuff again - sleepless nights etc. :). I wanted to get the 2 children done and move forward with non baby life within 5 yrs :)[/quote]
