[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say this: if you do have a kid, have ONE KID. You will see, when you read over the threads here, that almost every "what have I done, my life is hell" posts are from people with two kids. I am one of those people. I love love love BOTH of my sons, but having two kids was the hardest thing that ever happened. I spend my time managing them instead of enjoying them. When I had just one, it was joyous. Two was, and continues to be, very hard and had I known, I would have only had one. Even though the second is the joy of my life. :-)

But if you are as much an introvert as you say, and you know yourself, then you really need to re-consider. Unless your DH will be the stay-at-home parent in which case you can probably swing it. There's no space for introversion in parenting. Really. The only time I get alone-time is if they're watching TV or asleep and that's just not enough.[/quote]

But having two kids is so much easier than having one once they play together at, say, ages 4 and 6.  My kids are 8 and 10 and it's hard to get them to play with either of their parents - we just schedule their activities, drive them and feed them.  Much much easier than the parents of onlies have it.[/quote]
