Does anyone regret having a second child?
My daughter is nearly 20 months, and I’m currently trying to decide whether to have another baby. I was always confident I only wanted one (and took a long time to decide on any at all, to be honest) but now I’m wondering if a bigger family would be nice.
I don’t have a gut feeling either way and really like our current life - we still travel and do lots and have lots of fun as the three of us. I feel like I can see lots of downsides of another (plus we’ve been extremely lucky with our first in terms of health, sleep etc), but I can’t help wondering whether adding someone else to our family is the right thing to do. We have a very small family otherwise, as both me and my husband have lots parents, which also means we don’t have a lot of support around us.
So I wondered, what are others’ experience? Has a second child made life better, or do you wish you hadn’t rolled the dice?!
