[quote=Anonymous]I was a fence-sitter who decided to have one kid. Yes, I still envy childless people a great deal (but I know I'm in the thick of the rough stuff - terrible 2s). I don't regret my choice but there's a reason I stopped at one - I know my capacity! What I've done to address it is 1) acknowledge this is long but temporary (empty nest years will be when I'm in my 40s. still plenty of time for carefree just-us travel) and 2) throw $$ and energy at the challenge -- date nights every single week, trips away without child (not all the time, but regularly), keep up career and hobbies.
