My wife and I are very lucky to have an adorable two year old son. We are at an age were our friends and acquaintances are producing children left, right and centre. A number of them have gone for a second or third.
Everybody we talk to assumes that we are going for a second child in the near future. My wife's boss has even hired another staff number to prepare for maternity cover. However, we really aren't sure. Whilst we love and enjoy James, we have found parenting exhausting and challenging. The received wisdom is that two are significantly more than double the work.
I know from friends that have struggled to conceive that it is no certainty that we would be lucky enough to have a second if we tried. I'm hoping for anecdotes, advice and studies from the broad experiences of OTF.
