[quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous]Having 1 kid, in the time of covid, is greatly better than having 2! I realize there are others who will say "but isn't it sad they have no one to play with", but I will say back "isn't it great that we can afford to send them to in person private school"? And "Isn't it great that we can engage in some outside activities safely, without multiplying our risk of exposure from having to do so for all children?"

1 kid is hard. 2 is harder. If you're not loving the mom life, don't kid yourself that it will get better with more. [/quote]

I'm glad you were able to afford to send your child to private school.  Obviously, your experience probably won't translate for a lot of people who can't afford that.

There is no "better" or "worse" definitively here.  I know people with 1 who are struggling for different reasons.

But hey... having 1 is working for *your* family.  And that's great!  And having 2 or 3 or 4 is working out for other families.  It's not a competition![/quote]
