“I wish I knew that a second child would put the brakes on our lives far more than the first. I’m a big believer in having kids – we’ve got five of them. But when our first child was born, we were able to run with it. We both kept working and studying. We kept going to parties. We even moved to St. Petersburg for a year on an exchange program. Our ...
“With the first child, you are constantly worried about everything and trying to make sure they're okay. With the second child, you're still worrying but in a different way. You're worried about making sure both children are okay, and how to balance your time between the two. It can be tough, but it's so worth it to see the bond between siblings gr...
“I underestimated the exponential amount of energy that raising two little humans requires. My husband and I often divide tasks and children, but even then, parental burnout is a real thing. It took me some time to get over the guilt of asking for help. We like to think we can do it all, but we can’t. Caring for myself means that I’m able to bring ...
“When we had our first child, I never thought I could love anything more. Like I thought that all of the love I had inside of me would be forever devoted to this one, tiny little human. It worried me a little, because I thought, ‘How am I going to love our second child as much? Is that even possible?’ But then we had her, and I realized that the lo...
“I approached many things with my second child the same way I did with my first. Oftentimes, it didn’t work. And that’s okay, but it took me a while to realize that it wasn’t my fault. When you have kids, you’re not working in a factory churning out the same product. You’re raising a completely different person than your first, and you’re also a di...
“As a family of three, you kind of set the schedule, the rules, and the parenting style from the beginning. But when you have a second kid, even though it’s only one other person added to the mix, making choices becomes a lot harder. Since you’re raising two now, you have to pick your battles much, much more carefully. What do you do if one has a s...
“I thought that having a second kid would be like retaking a test. I’d be able to look back and review everything I got wrong, then do it right the next time. What I didn’t anticipate was that having a second child is less like retaking the same test, and more like taking a completely different test, in a different language, after studying the wron...
“When we had our first kid, my wife and I leaned on each other really well. We were there for each other when we both needed rest, or a break, and we really made an excellent team. But the team dynamic changes completely when a second baby comes along. The communication isn’t just between you and your spouse anymore. It’s between you, your spouse, ...
“I learned to roll with the punches a lot faster with our second kid. Looking back on raising our first, I was very steadfast and, dare I say, stubborn. I had a plan, and I was going to stick to it. Unfortunately, it took me a while to realize that approach was almost laughable in real life, as a real parent. It got me so stressed out, trying to be...
“The one thing I didn’t really consider when we had a second child was how it would make our first child feel. She was five years old, and I think my wife and I both assumed she would be ecstatic to have a new baby brother. At first, she was. But then she got resentful about all of the time we had to spend with him. She wasn’t explicit about it, th...
