Having to do all of the same shite again, just with another one hooked to your leg or causing destruction in another room.
With that being said, now that mine are 10 and 12, Im glad I went ahead and got it knocked out.

Jump from 1 to 2 is significant.
2 to 3 not so bad.
3-4+ like nothing at all.
So I've been told.
I have 3.

Same thing, you just do it all over again. Have them close together. They grow up closer, and you don't have one in diapers then another 8 years later. You have a lot of the toys and a lot of clothes (if they are the same sex). You have the baby seats, all of that. Plan for their own rooms.
You won't be in a panic over every single sneeze, like with the first one. If you have 3 or 4, by the fourth one if no body parts are missing and the blood flow isn't too bad, you'll be like, "put a bandaid on it...you're okay."
My two oldest brothers were 20 months apart. Then there was a 7 year gap and my other brother and I are 35 months apart.
Number three was an OOPS! I was number four and an OMG!
Now, brothers are weird. I can knock the taste out of my brother's mouth, but you damn sure better not hit him. That's just how it is...

Mine are the exact same age as yours. I dont remember it being a huge jump from 1 kid to 2. But, my wife stayed home until they both started school. So it may have been different if you were to ask here
. I do remember the time when the oldest was 4 and the youngest was 2 being particularly rough. They just need so much attention at that age range if you want to raise some normal kids. It was tough for us because it seemed like EVERYTHING revolved around two toddlers. We forgot about each other and drifted apart a little during that time. We had to have a reset and make it a priority to make some time for each other and ourselves.
But we made it through and we have two great kids that are smart and respectful and have lots of friends. Its fun now and im proud of my kids.

First one about to hit 2, wife says want second but I can’t imagine doing this again
That's how I felt until our first got to about 3 years old. I don't like the baby stage and a little after. It gets way better after that IMO.
My answer is different from others here because I don't think it's actually double the work. 2 kids are more work than 1 but not double 1.
But also I love being a dad and it's not for everyone. I would have about 10 kids if it were financially, physically, and mentally feasible

Aren't you loaded? You should have no problem hiring your kids each their own personally nanny. Hell, get the caretaker of the koi pond to watch one of the little shits for a while.

We are soft as a society
Somehow the human race raised kids just fine for thousands of years while at the same time struggling to survive day to day

Agreed.
I do have it easier than some though because my wife is a stay at home mom. If there is any way you can afford it, highly recommend.

Because shite costs less and people had more time back then. My wife and I both work full time jobs.
Also for those saying oh just pay a nanny etc. you have any idea how expensive they are?

First off- youre a pussy and start terrible threads.
Second - your wife is rich. Give her what she wants
Third - if youre concerned about the future, the way you change it is by bringing more good people in the world and doing your best to give them the best future you can
Forth - its a shitload more work. You will often be outnumbered, have to switch to zone defense. It is totally worth it.

There is only so much time in a day. One kid or 30, you’ll be inundated. Just be thankful for their blessing and the meaning your life will have through their life

hard but at that age gap its just continuing on what you were already doing (you’re already tired, you’re already still doing diapers and bottles, etc.) so it’s not that hard … and then they start playing with each other in a few years and it’s great

You won’t know how easy one kid is until you have the second. 3 is the sweet spot

Do not contribute any more of your DNA to the gene pool. Society has already suffered enough

1 to 2 is the hardest jump, that is talked about often.
I have 2 under 2 right now - 22 months and 6 weeks - and it's brutal. The ping pong at night of who is up when, or who's cry wakes who is pretty bad. The fact that you can leave a 22 month old alone - somewhat - but nor really. She's had some bonks because she's a bit wild sometimes and you are solo for some time, managing both can be hard.
But I wouldn't trade it for anything.
You'd have a bigger gap, and probably have it a little easier, but not much.

Just do it. Never a good time. Mine are almost grown and I miss them being little now. I'd do it again if I could.

2 is easier when the youngest hits 2 yrs old. You are knee deep in it now, you wont even nothice the difference. Do it and dont look back
