What did you find harder, or perhaps ‘a bigger shock to the system’. Going from zero kids to one, or going from one to two, two to three.

Sorry for the word-salad. I’d have written a shorter post, but I don’t have the time.

    Contrary to popular sentiment, I’d say it’s not the numbers - it’s the age.

    For my wife and I, babies are easy. Toddlers were way more of a challenge. But for most of our friends they found it the opposite.

    I’ve heard people say before 1 to 2 is harder whilst 2 to 3 is simple, and in this thread 2 to 3 is harder, etcetera. I’d wager a big part of it is ‘when’ you add each new child, relative to who your other children are and what they are needing at their current developmental stage.

    Word salad is what parenting is all about.
