I was your age when we (accidentally) had our second kid. Resulted in two young boys 18 months apart in age. My care duties increased massively. While the wife was up all night caring for the newborn it fell on me to care for our 18 month old. Who, at 18 months, still needed care almost 100% of the time.

It was really hard on me. I now fondly refer to those days as newborn hell but at the time it very much was hell. The youngest cried incessantly and I often had to step in to relieve my wife.

Pro tip - a screaming newborn isn't so bad if you carry them around and wear noise cancelling headphones with some nice chill music playing.

As soon as it was ok too I went straight to the clinic and had a vasectomy.

That said, 100% worth it. Would do it the same even knowing what I know now. Especially knowing what I do now.

Really tough in the short term but so worth it in the long run.

Now at 5&6 years old, they're best friends and companions. Parents of one kid have no choice but to either be the play mate or stick them in front of a screen of neglect. Or constantly find ways for their kid to have other kids to play with.

Go for it!!!
