Bigger jump from 1 to 2 than 0 to 1 IMO.
With one you can tag team, with 2 you are wraslin them 1 on 1.

Before our first child was born
After our first child was born
5 month old son in day care and daughter in dance and private school
Also harder to get nights out with me and the wife. Finding a sitter for one kid isn't too bad, but it is much more difficult.
With all that being said, I love it. Even as we speak i'm hanging out with my boy while my daughter is chasing the dog. I wouldn't change a thing.
Now, with that being said i'm going to get a vasectomy soon!

It's only difficult for the first couple of months on the mother when she's sleep deprived. After that, it's actually great for them to entertain each other.
Couldn't agree more

Get them on a fricking schedule. Sleep/naps especially. Your life will be much better if you just let them nap on a schedule. If that means you have to come home from wherever or leave at a certain time after they wake then so be it.

Actually a fair point.
If I tell my six year old to put socks on her 5 month old brother, that will buy us a minimum of 15 minutes...

You go from double team D to man to man D. Which is not too bad. It's going from 2 to 3 that is psycho.

Big for me because with one, one of us could manage alone no problem so I could still go hunt/fish pretty often. Two, I started staying home more. Now I can take the oldest two with me more and more.
Good news is three wasn't a big adjustment.
About to have our fourth.

I have 2..5 years apart. You will not have meaningful sex again until the youngest is about 5.
The good news is that it gets much better as they pass about 15. Just gotta pay for alot more stuff.

If their age is close, two are better than one. They can play together while you get things done. If you only have one, then they keep looking to you for their entertainment. Two also helps teach them to share, socialize, and get along with another person.
All of the difficult things are easier with the 2nd, and much easier with a 3rd or more.
More is much better than one.
Some people think they were created with a specific amount of love. They do not "think" they have enough love for two or more children. God does not work that way. God multiplies your love so you do not need to worry about that.

One is like having one, two is like having ten.

Two was cake compared to one. Much easier to ignore the second one.
I hear 3 is a game changer. I'll let yall know if I survive the self inflicted gun wound.

Really didn't have much of a problem with the first 2, wife stayed home, and I worked till they started school. Number 3 kicking our arse. Maybe if we were younger it would be easier, but my advice, no more than 2...,

As many have said, I didn't think the jump from 1 to 2 was that bad. You already know 'mostly' what to expect with #2, and you know the things that really have to be done vs what you thought had to be done with the first (sterilizing every paci vs just rinsing it off when it hits the ground, for example), so it's not quite as much work.

I went from 1 to 3.....20 months apart....
Life was tough - till we got them out of diapers.
Now I simply could not imagine anything better.
Blessed!

2 is a little more complicated but you can still play man to man coverage. Once you get to 3, you have to switch to a zone coverage hence someone will be left uncovered.

Dude you are a clueless keyboard warrior who never has an ounce of empathy for anyone whatsoever. If you ever grow up one day you'll realize some of the challenges that adults deal with.
Until then, GFY
