Double coverage
Cover two

The jump from one to two is by far the hardest step. After that, your first born is old enough to help so why not throw another in the mix.

My oldest wasn't even 3 yet when my third was born.

Yea my oldest was worthless when #3 arrived
At almost 12 he's the fricking man now though.

Kids are so damn hard to raise

I wife an I reared two boys. Lot of uncertainty. They don't come with an owners manual. Never had any trouble.
Neither gave a lot of trouble, but I held the line, knowing you can never be sure.
Each now has one boy and one girl. Three are in college.
From my experience, if you give them responsibilities, and don't reward bad behavior, half the battle.
IMO, once they reach puberty, if you let the animals run the farm, you are in for a lot of trouble and heartbreak.
That is based on observing my wife's friends children, and their relationships.

Wife and I have 4 (all girls ages 15,11,4,2). To me 3 was perfect. Adding #4 who is hell on wheels, has me rethinking my life multiple times a day.
Stop at 3!!!
Stop at 3!!!

Have the second kid. Being an only child sucks. Don't be selfish, the pain is temporary and the highs are so much higher.

It shouldn’t matter to a baller like you.

We have two. A 2 year old and a 3 year old born 359 days apart.
Get ready for some trouble

It will be a lot easier to raise the first one if he has a sibling. Only children tend to be spoiled (not always).

Thought it was easier to go from 1-2 than 0-1. Maybe because my kids were 5 years apart but I'm paying for that now. Having one in high school and the other in elementary is like having a foot in two completely different worlds. They will never be in the same school together, five years is a huge difference in maturity and experiences so their interests and events have never really overlapped. If I did it over I would push harder with having them closer.

my 3rd, and last is now 16. the other 2 are grown adults on their own. i kinda’ miss the chaos
Posted on 3/12/26 at 7:13 pm to fareplay
I have 2 currently.
Oldest daughter turned 2 in January. Youngest is 6 about to be 7 months. Not gonna lie adding the second has been tougher to manage since our oldest is still so young but wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Kids are not hard to raise. It is what life is really about. Everything else is actually what is in your way of enjoying life.
Posted on 3/12/26 at 7:57 pm to tigerbutt
Amen.
I have a 2 yr old and a 9 month old. We thought one was hard and now we laugh at anyone who thinks one is hard. Exhausted at another level but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
Wife wants a third soon but we’re older and I don’t know if it’s wise for her health to do
