[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how it can be so difficult with just one or two kid. I have 3 and at one point had a newborn, 3 year old and 4 year old. I did 75% of things solo when DH was in the office.

Every time one of my kids is at a playdate or with friends and I only have 2 kids it feels like I have all this extra time and it’s so easy.

I feel bad and would never vocalize this since most of my friends have only 1 or 2 kids but whenever they complain at how hard it is I am always so confused. I don’t find 3 very difficult either and have always wanted more but that probably won’t happen. [/quote]

I agree OP same with me.
DH traveled Monday -Friday the first 15 years of our marriage.

My sister both have one and it is always complain about how hard it is....

And I worked full time.[/quote]

I think that, ceteris paribus, one child really is more difficult in many ways. You are always *on* as a parent with one child, and the all-your-eggs-in-one-basket anxiety is crippling. At least with two children, you can worry about them in turn.

I used to go in more than once a night to make sure that my oldest was still breathing. Pretty much the last time I did that was the night before the second kid was born.[/quote]
