[quote=Anonymous]This whole "two is easier than one!" is total BS.

It might be preferable. 
It might be joyful. 
Certain things might be easier at times, such not having to be the 2nd player in a game.

But get real. Don't lie to OP. 
They absolutely will argue or cause trouble at some point. 
You have double the illnesses and injuries. 
Double the sports and activities to handle drop off and pick up at. 
Double the parent teacher conferences. 
Double the homework to check. 
Double the eccentricities and fears to manage. 
Double the bedtime. 
Double the COST.

It's not going to magically give OP more energy and more time to relax to have two kids. Will she get to sit back a little bit each day if they are close in age and play a game together? Sure. Will she have to break up a fight sometimes? Sure. Will she have to do DOUBLE most things (see above)? Yes.

OP, one is a calculated choice, and a very good one for some people. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having the right size family for you. Think about what would be best for the child you have. [/quote]
