Is having a second kid really worth all the trouble? It looks exponentially harder to go from 1 to 2 kids than zero to 1.

@stephcastro10 My sister is 4 years older than me. We don't talk but thats not because of the age gap. My parents seemed to like that there was a decent gap between us

@stephcastro10 Definitely not alone!! I'm due next month and we will have the same age gap. I would have NEVER tried sooner than this lol.

@stephcastro10 I felt that way too but we're 8 months in with a 3.5 year gap and it's great. My son goes to the toilet by himself, can get a snack by himself. I tell him I need to put the baby down for a nap and he keeps himself busy. There's 0 jealousy and now that baby is crawling my eldest loves to play with him, they chase each other around the house and it's adorable.
