[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone ever actually regret having a subsequent kid? I say go for it.[/quote] Or course they do. But it's not socially acceptable to admit it. I agree with the other posters saying the provided reasons are awfully weak. Babies are only babies so long, and the age difference will mean the siblings won't be close to one another until adulthood anyway.[/quote] What would be stronger reasons? [/quote] Redundancy in case the first is a dud? Kidding... Sort of. There are fundamental flaws in both reasons provided. You don't have another kid just because you like the first year or two, because you're signing on to a life-long commitment. Similarly, it's silly to base it on giving an existing child a sibling when they'd be so far apart in age. It would be different if the OP made some statement about always imagining a bigger family, as a longer-term motivation rather than just liking the baby part.[/quote]
