[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That many of the people trying to convince me my life would be a certain way going forward were full of it.

1.  We sleep trained and my kid is an excellent sleeper

2.  Weekly babysitter means I still have fun with my husband

3.  I lost all of the baby weight.  My body is actually better.

4.  My house isn’t full of kids stuff [/quote]

Genuine question, do you only have one kid? I was exactly like this with one kid and REALLY full of myself. My second kid was a huge dose of humility. I'm an exhausted frumpy loser mom now.

I mean this sincerely, if you value all of these things about yourself I highly recommend stopping after one kid. I thought that since one kid came so easily to me and H that the second would also be easy but I was wrong, wrong, wrong. I love her but man she turned my whole world upside down. [/quote]

I wasn’t saying that any of this came easy to me.  You missed the point.

1.  I will sleep train a second kid just like the first.

2.  There’s no reason we can’t still hire babysitters.

3.  If I lost all the baby weight with child one I assume it’s possible for child two or I can at least lose most of it.

4.  I still won’t allow my living room to be a playpen and no reason a second kid means it has to be.  We have a playroom.
