[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I know you say you hate having babies but having older kids is so cool to you--but how do you actually know that? Your oldest kid is still a young toddler!  And if you hate the "not being able to do anything" of babies, it gets way more hectic in many ways as they get older.  And your intense baby will likely become an even more intense toddler and young child and possibly teen.[/quote]

That's a fair question and yes I'm in the same boat as all of us in terms of not knowing what's ahead until we get there (eg how did I know I wanted a second when my first was only 1 given I'd only experienced 1 year).  But I do know I've never liked babies - never had interest in holding other people's cooing over them etc and in general just find them to be screaming sacks of potatos.  I also know that when I look at my sisters family with a 10 and 8 year old I think it sounds like a blast - camp outs and hiking and being able to pack the weekends with fun activities beyond putzing around the playground.  So no, I don't know exactly what parenting an 10 yo will be like, but I know that in general that is something I will enjoy more than parenting a baby.[/quote]
