[quote=Anonymous]i felt the way you do when my kids were small.  having two really little ones is extremely difficult and exhausting. but now that mine are older, they really like each other, and play together, which gives us more time to ourselves. and their relationship with each other is very sweet and special.  i hope that as they grow things get easier for you too!  i definitely remember wondering why in the world we had decided to have two kids, when they were tiny like yours.  but now that they are older i'm so grateful that we have two.

[quote=Anonymous]I know I shouldn't admit it: but yes, I regret having a second and my husband has admitted the same. Kids are 2.5 and 1 year old now. A little different than you in that #2 was unplanned, but are financially stretched, exhausted, stressed, and have gotten in many more fights (which never happened before now). There's also no guarantee that having two means they will be friends, so far I'm constantly referee disputes. Hoping it gets better as the kids get older -- and number two is admittedly adorable despite being a really difficult baby -- but overall having two has made it obvious how many benefits there would have been to having a single child.

I think if you find parenting one kid to be easy, maybe it's easier to have a second than if parenting one child has made you really stressed.
