[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the person. We have a toddler and it has been more challenging than we ever imagined. Just like every parent we get stressed out with her. While we would love to have another baby, we know we can't handle another toddler in a few years and we definitely can't handle a newborn and a toddler at the same time. Instead we decided to be one and done, or at most try for another once this one gets easier, IF she gets easier. I too have a hard time understanding why people think they can do it again right away when they can't even properly do it the first time.

Other people probably figure that it won't make a difference if they're shouting at one toddler or two. Or they want to experience pregnancy/the newborn stage again so bad that they ignore the issues their future might hold. Or they're so focused on what their picture of an ideal family is, that they refuse to accept that some people might not be cut out to have a big family. Or they're not willing to wait out the time it takes to figure out if it's just a difficult phase that they can tackle again once their first outgrows it. [/quote]
