Once you have your first baby you feel the impact on your life, its never the same again-not in a bad way but baby/child must come first. I’ve noticed as our girls become a toddler life’s reigns have slackened slightly, gone are the baby days of carrying everything bar the kitchen sink and we can go more places now that she can get involved. We take her so many places like zoo’s,museums,waxworks,weekend breaks, lots of sight seeing,spend our spare time talking to teaching her about life can afford to treat her and ourselves to things. would this be difficult with more than one?
How has your life changed even more since having more kids?
LOL Jamie* Congrats chick, am so happy for you, double the trouble- double the fun n double the hugs n kisses

My life has slowed down again after having my second child, but my kids are 6 yrs apart so we had been enjoying our freedom for quite a while! But I think its a fair trade off!
well you need to devide the care. the elder child may feel like she is being less cared for. you need to to double everything. but at the end u get a good result.
It is almost like starting again, but it is so different. I am about to have #4 and my oldest is 10 1/2. The dynamic changes a lot, but the rewards are not just doubled they are exponentially increased with every kiss and hug and cuddle!
Kids are great–I can’t wait to find out who they will be as adults. It makes me so proud to be a mom knowing that I am raising some great people to be in this world. The world can always use well adjusted, caring, loving beings.
So, yeah, you have to change your mindset to be a parent of more than one but it pays off.
Life with one kid is pretty easy. I remember feeling overwhelmed with one and now (with 3 and one on the way) its like….what was I thinking. One really is very simple even compared to two. Two is a bit more stressful and # 3 rocks your world. Number 3 is when I felt like my life turned upside down. But with everything there is just a bigger transition time and once you get it figured out its no big deal. But really…appreciate just having that one now because it does just get harder. But it all worth it.
It doesn’t have to be restricted, but it’s definitely a LOT more work. Having one child was so easy. Now I have four children and it’s pure chaos! lol I wouldn’t change it for the world though.
It does change alot i have a 2 yr old son and 8 month old so its back to bottles being sterilised 2 different sorts of nappies baby jars toddler food its like we are going on holiday every time we go out lol!! But as soon as you get used to it and in the routine it gets easier plus now i have to fork out for both the boys to have the same whatever i get for one i always have to think of the other i dont want one of them to feel left out but i wouldn’t change it for anything
Well I had four and they certainly kept me on my toes – but I wouldn’t have swapped that for anything even though I could have done so much if I hadn’t had them!
im not entily sure can i let you now in about a 7 months? hehe lol
no iv got 11 kids and we go on hols 2-3 times a year we go all the regular places swimming cinema park zoo see side meals out to be honest we do m,ore as a family than most with 1 or 2 ….. the only thing that we find difficult is when 1 is in hospital as we all suffer and all of us mope about with sad faces so no i wood say that we do lots and nothing is bad about being a big family
