I gave birth a month ago to my second baby. Honestly, it’s not too bad. It’s going smoothly. They’re 5 years, 2 months apart. We will have to see in the future when baby #2 is more mobile.

2-3 for sure! i have a 8 yo , 2 yo and 4 mo and im losing my mind with the two youngest
I found 1-2 was more than twice the work. 2-3, your already doing it all anyway, they just kind of slot in. In my experience anyway :) the boys are older now, but when the youngest was born, the older two were 3 and 5 x
When I transitioned to my second kid it wasn’t too bad but my daughter is 3 years older than my son so that could be why but I’m about to have my 3rd and my son is 23 months and I already know it’s gonna be hard because he’s a Velcro baby
I have one going on 12 one going on 6 and one going on 2. When I tell you I want to cry every day…… The oldest resented the middle for “stealing attention” the middle resents the youngest for “stealing attention” the youngest is a hellian and is literally determined to break a bone before his birthday, so he requires constant supervision. Not to mention weeks like this where the kindergarteners bring in illnesses and send them home. So I’ve currently got to care for 3 sick kids that are all miserable and clingy and wanting mommy snuggles. I’m a slave to their every need. I’m always reminded how I’m failing and not doing enough(spending enough one on one time with them, spending enough money on them ect. I’m sick and tired of being groped by children literally all day. The toddler fondles my boobs still (breastfed) the 5 year old doesnt in anyway understand boundaries and is determined to climb on me if the toddler is anywhere near me.
The 12 your old is being bullied at school and is on the verge of getting her period so she’s an emotional wreck. She takes all of her anger out on the 5 year old and I’m constantly having to get her to back off. It is like trying to paddle a boat to shore with a toddler committed to jumping off the boat, a 5 year old screaming(singing is what she calls it) in your ear and climbing all over you and a 12 year old constantly rolling her eyes and complaining about how long it’s taking you to get to shore.
Sorry for the rant it’s been a day
2-3!!!! our son just turned 2 in December and we have an 8 month old! When he was 17 months she was born and it was amazing he was so helpful and he loved her. But the moment the 2s kicked in oh man he pushes her off the table he tries to run her over he grabs her by her head all the time and I constant have to stop him from hurting her and he doesn’t understand so I can’t blame him. He just started his biting phase and oh man I’m terrified of him biting her😭😭😭😭
1-2 for sure. My 3rd slipped right in
I’m pregnant with my second my sister has three and she said it was going from 1-2 was the hardest
I'm currently 35 weeks with my second baby and I think the most hard part with transitioning from 1-2 will be adapting to the newborn stage again while attending to my 3 year old.
i think it depends on the person. My transition from 1-2 had been really hard. I’m 6 weeks in and still struggling lol
