[quote=Anonymous]Yeah I can't in good conscience blindly convince you to have more than one.  Maybe before the pandemic, I would have, but not now.  I'm afraid for the future of our country.

Also, having 2 is a whole other level than having 1.  1 is adding a little one to your pair.  2 seems to make everything a family affair where the kids are louder, take up more space, take up more time, take up more energy, and use up more money than the adults.  For some reason, when we had the 2nd, it didn't just double, it felt like it exponentially multiplied the amount of noise, laundry, toys, and exhaustion.

The upside is that maybe you'll get two personalities that get along well and so they can entertain each other.  And they are a lot of fun when they're not being jerks.  And some of the conversations the siblings have with each other just make me crack up so much.  And well, honestly, I really can't imagine life without our 2nd. As exhausting and loud and mischievous as the 2nd one is, he's been so great for the older one in many ways and he worships the older, and I don't know what they would do without each other.  And life would be very quiet and maybe we wouldn't laugh as much.[/quote]
