[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#1 was the most difficult for us. He was our most difficult child plus adjusting to parenting life wasn't easy for us. #2 and #3 were a joy. You're already in it so it's just more of the same in my mind.[/quote]

This seems the most logical to me... going from 0 kids to 1 kid is a HUGE life-altering shift. I don't understand how people can say going from 1 to 2 is harder...[/quote]

Same here for me.  My kids are 19 months apart and while it was hard in the beginning it was nowhere near as hard as going from 0-1.  DH and I were 31 when we had our first and man it was freaking hard!  We had just moved out to the suburbs and that was a huge adjustment.  Throw in a kid and bam!  there goes your hanging with friends/happy hours/going out on the weekends and all of your free time.  We obviously knew that was going to happen but its a huge lifestyle adjustment nonetheless.

Kid 2 just meshed into our life and we kept on going.

This is coming from a working mom and a DH who is in big law.  So we are super busy and have a hectic life but kid #2 did not break us (thankfully!)

I do think it all comes down to temperament of parents (can you deal with the chaos of kids in general?) and children (are they super hard or super chill?). [/quote]
