[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, the logistics of one kid are obviously much simpler than the logistics of two.  Also, you don't mention your spouse -- if you are doing all the kid stuff, it's going to be harder than if your spouse/partner is doing their share.  [/quote]

I have G/G twins who play the same sport so the logistics of the two of them are pretty simple and in some ways it's like having an only because they're (almost) always on the same schedule. BUT the mental energy expended on two is definitely more than with just one. So to me, that's the part that's hard about having multiple kids. You can outsource laundry and driving and making food and other things all you want, but for me it's the mental energy that's the most draining. My kids are generally pretty easy, but even though we have the money to outsource a lot of things, the reason we didn't want more than two (and were actually considering an only but got surprised by twins) is the mental/emotional part of it.
