[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I waited a bit longer than I had planned for my second, my first was just over 3 when second was born.

My second was so easy and pleasant and I really remember this one time, my second was in his vibrating bouncy seat watching me play with my first, and he was looking sleepy, and he got tired and just fell asleep. He is almost 14 and a really pleasant kid all around.

What I didn't know was that my extremely difficult high needs first baby would take me through round two when they went through the teen years. Sometimes I feel bad because her issues and personality are just so consuming, I can't just relax and enjoy my relaxed kid. Or I feel bad leaving him alone with her.

Apparently it is common that high need babies grow up to be high need teens, at least from what I've read of parents with similar kids to my first.

I'm glad I had my second and look forward to a few years just with him. But sometimes I feel for him and the toll the first takes on our family.[/quote]

Mine is 13 and a super easy teen after being a nightmare baby / toddler. He's also a boy, so obviously different dynamic.[/quote]
