Fuck
Uh... second opinion? Anyone?
My wife really, really wants to have a second eventually. I don't know what would be harder on our marriage: me giving in and us dealing with two kids, or me continuing to refuse against her wishes. :(
Here, I have one, but this is just my own personal experience, of course.
The wife and I have a 5 year old daughter who still has some anger management issues. 90 percent of the time she's great, but the other 10, she can be a screaming demon.
We had our second child in April, a son, and I've found the baby stuff quite refreshing: no coaxing to get something done, no million questions to answer, no tantrums to calm... just a bottle, a diaper change and off to bed.
I will add that my children are mutants, in that they began sleeping through the night really early. Like, at two months; and even then, they would only wake up once for their scheduled bottle. So my experience is quite unique.
