[quote=Anonymous]For me the issue is the sleep. Our child, who has ASD but with low support needs never seemed like an especially bad sleeper. But even when she was 4 or 5 she would go through 1-2 week stretches every few months of waking us in the middle of the night and needing us to stay with her for 1-2 hours until she got back to sleep. The intermittent sleep deprivation impacted me more than I realized at the time. It's now been about a year and a half since that stopped and I feel like a completely new person, able to really focus at work and motivated to work out consistently. My sister has a 1 year old now and they are in the thick of long term sleep deprivation. I honestly don't know if our marriage would survive that again. It is sometimes hard to have an only and we love having friends over, but it can also be nice to be my kid's playmate. It sounds like OP, if a real person, seems to truly enjoy her kids, and I truly enjoy my one kid now. I don't think I could really enjoy two or three, I would just constantly be in survival mode.[/quote]
