[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW OP, I have a 2 year old and a second on the way and I feel like you too. This decision to have a second one was agonizing in a way that deciding to have the first was not - I sobbed when I got the positive test. Deciding to do it anyway was rooted primarily in wanting to have two grown children someday, tbh with you. I may still end up regretting it. I would probably not admit this out loud. [/quote]

This is the PP with the almost two year old. If we have a second, it would be for the exact same reason, really. [/quote]

Another poster who feels the same way and will probably have a second for this reason[/quote]

NP here who has a 2 year old and another on the way.    We had some fertility challenges and I was so desperate for my first child.  The second came much easier than I expected and I, too, had some intensely mixed feelings upon seeing the positive test.  I was actually crying to DH last night about my insecurities as a parent.  He's the most committed, selfless father who loves every second of parenting.  I do not love every second of parenting, and, while I love my DD to pieces, I don't find myself waiting eagerly for her to wake up in the morning/from naps, etc. the way he does.  I'm looking forward to seeing my daughter as a big sister, and looking forward to the sibling relationship I hope to be able to cultivate in my kids, and I'm happy to know I'll have two grown children someday, but I can't say I'm approaching the next couple of years without some trepidation and insecurity about my ability to really enjoy parenting two little kids.[/quote]
