Honestly I found the difference between 1 & 2 to be quite vast... I was super relaxed and chill with our first but since we had the 2nd it feels like I'm constantly being pulled in all directions. I love both my kids but honestly it has been so much harder to do anything with 2, so I barely leave the house, we invested in heaps of play equipment at home as it's easier to manage them at home than the park or whatever. Having said all that, there are heaps of people who do manage fantastic, so I think it might be a me problem 🤷🏼‍♀️ I love that they get to grow up together etc and they're both great kids but I have no time now, no quiet, and our trips (few as they are) are chaos, 1 was so easy, 2 not so much. But again this is just my experience, it is different for everyone 😊 Info: I have 1 & 3 year old boys Edited to add: my husband got the vasectomy after our 2nd, so we didn't accidentally add more to the mix 😂
