[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on how desperately you want another kid and how much or little you value other things in your life.

I value my career, appearance and marriage A LOT so I wouldn’t be okay having two young children.  It would make it much harder for me to be successful at work, spend time not with kids with my husband and stay below my goal weight.  Not to mention college savings for the first.

Some women seem to just not care and value having that second baby.  [/quote]

OP here. Our marriage is great and so are our careers. I worked hard and have a flexible career that allows me to work part-time. My husbands salary and our savings allows me the option to stay at home for a couple of years if I decide to. So far we spend plenty of time together after the baby goes to bed. Sure, not as much time as before, but we still have 2-3 each night to enjoy by ourselves. I know that will get harder once another child is in the picture, but I think it depends on how important connecting with your spouse is. I believe in putting my marriage first, which means making time for a date night every week. I've struggled with weight issues in my twenties, but we both make it a point to workout and eat healthy. I also am walking and on my feet for most of my job. We are financially able to save for college, but I think that has to do with our older age, because it wouldn't have been possible if I had kids 10 years ago. I think you can have 2 kids and still be good at your job and have a happy marriage. [/quote]
