1 to 2 = easy
2 to 3 = chaos

Um, so 2 kids – is that sometimes easy, sometimes chaos?

Kids are great, and somehow it works out. Moving from kid #2 to kid #3 (or more) just changes your approach, that’s all–you and your spouse go from man-to-man to zone defense.

@ angie: Probably the same thing you say when you’re 24, Jewish, unmarried, but with a lovely Catholic boyfriend, and your grandmother comes over… first to lament that he’s not Jewish, then to console herself that we’re indeed not getting married tomorrow, and then ask if she could introduce you to a nice, Jewish boy. Nothing. It never ends…

ummm what do you say when your 29, just married, career driven and your asian mother in fear of you losing your first bloom asks you EVERYDAY:

“did you drink your milk today?”

yes mom.

“how ’bout vitamin. did you take your vitamin”

yes.

“you need it for healthy baby.”

I know, mom.

“I’m worried about you.”

ugh.

After that children three and four are a breeze :0)

I have 4 kids, they are anything but a breeze! Sure, you dont jump everytime they cry, but its still quadruple the work.

Good luck Jeffery, two is a wonderful number.

Coming from a group of 4 brothers I can expand on what Steph said above, four brothers is hard for just about anyone to take, even the brothers at times. It doesn’t really get better until most of them are over 16, and even then it’s only at the times they act their age. There’s just something about being a brother in a group of brothers that makes it easier to act up the more brothers there are. Despite all this, we still weren’t able to top the amount trouble that one of my aunts caused with just a single sister. They’re “unique” though so I imagine two sisters don’t normally cause that much trouble.

Anyways, I’m sure that child number two will bring you as much happiness as number one, all the ups and downs included.

Good luck!

My sister asked for a brother when she was around seven… so here I am: her eight years old “gift”.
(yes, we share the same birthday – my parents did the magic…)

My 10 month old son asked for a baby sister. his first multiple word sentence.

(It took us another 3 years to provide one… but that’s another story.)

That is great. I remember my daughter saying something to that effect when she was about 4 years old and wanting a little sister. Then much to her dismay and displeasure, her brother came into the world and she demanded “a take back from the stork.”

Kids do say the darnedest things, it makes good material though.

Good luck!

After a couple miscarries we’re finally giving David a little brother or sister right after the new year :)
