Do you not have any friends you could’ve shared this with?

I dread the daycare cost for 2 kids. My wife talks about having another baby, but we pay 10k+ per year in daycare and I can't imagine having two in daycare at the same time.

If you have family to watch them or your wife doesn't work then you'll be fine.

I would have to donate plasma to afford another kid.

18 months apart is not ideal. If I had to do it over again, I would pick 3 years apart. Ours are almost 2.5 years apart. It was rough with two in diapers for almost six months.

Get your sleep now...

It's a bigger jump from 1->2 kids than it was from 0-1.

2 kids is more than twice the work of 1 kid.

They're going to grow up super close, especially if they're the same sex. So, that's something.

Hopefully your intelligence gene doesn’t get passed on to them. They will be on 16 and pregnant taking advice from you.

I have 3 - 20 months apart (Twins)

You're fricked until you get them out of diapers.

After that, you're the luckiest man alive.

Sack up young buck, only 2-3 years to go....

Second children birth fast.. First signs of contractions get your arse to the hospital or you'll be delivering the babe yourself on the shoulder of I-10.

Get a double stroller. It will make your life easier but you’ll have to deal with the looks from people wondering what you were thinking having 2 kids that close. Get a backpack diaper bag big enough to fit both of their stuff. Start potty training your first born as soon as you halfway think he/she is ready. The older one being somewhat independent will help you and of course save you some $$$ Buying diapers/pull-ups for 2 is a killer!

Good luck, we’re all counting on you

Listen carefully:

You can still run a man to man defense. When you have a third child you will need to switch to zone.

Great, you has sex.

Here is what I learned, one is one and two is ten. I hope you have family around to help.

Good luck baw.

Just remember it's going to suck, but only for a few years.


When they are 6/4 to 7/5 it will be a lot better.

Congrats! Having 2 in diapers is a crazy time, but once you get past it, you will be thankful.

You don’t realize how easy one child is until you have two.
