[quote=Anonymous]I'm only two years in and I love seeing the sibling relationship and I love the youngest so much. The logistics and time and all that gets a lot harder. My 2 cents: overall the baby experience with the second tends to be easier, but the transition to a family of four is tough. Definitely more than double the work with two kids. We were in a great groove with 3 year old and 2 careers, and it upended everything. For your older child, the period of adjustment to having a sibling and navigating the new dynamics is ongoing and upwards of a year. Expect to see a lot of changes when the oldest is no longer the center of the world. Career -- well, you're going to have double the sick days and sleep disturbances to deal with, even if both kids sleep relatively well it's still a crapshoot. Marriage/personal -- the first child does not go away so the second child slips into the "extra" time you have and you cut away anything that's not child related. [/quote]
