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!

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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!
