My hubby and I have just had a discussion about having a 2nd child. I may want one in the future he doesn't! My question is to all of you who have 2 or more children how different is it to just having one? Is it really difficult coping with a new baby and a young child? (my daughter is 4) I worry about her feeling left out, the cost, childcare and making life difficult for myself! On the other hand I don't want her to be on her own and think she is at a nice age. What are your experiences of this?

Are you sure, your husband has agreed to another one, or did you just talk him into giving in?

I think his wishes should be equally important in this matter...

I know what your saying and admittedly he isn't as keen as me but yes he has agreed. Trust me there is no way he would agree if he didn't want to really. He is just the sort of person who never shows excitement until the last minute. I know once I am pregnant and he gets more used to the idea and once the babies born he will be as loving and caring as he has been with our daughter.
my son is almost 3 and i have a 9 week old. My son loves his baby sister to bits but he has changed a little since her birth.

I work full time from home and we had already planned to put him in preschool at this time but i think at times he thinks hes been replaced :(

We have also found that he has regressed a little with things like potty training and now wants to be carried a lot.

Saying that though he told me yesterday that she was his best friend and he loves her. Oh but he did also ask me if i could make a baby boy for him. pmsl
