How old is your first? I'd suggest waiting till he or she is 4 years or older. You're setting up your two oldest to have a bad relationship if Mom is having to take care of a newborn when your 2-3-year-old is still wanting lots of attention. I've seen this happen in a couple of families.

I know whereof I speak. I'm sure twins, even Irish twins, are fine, but the 2-3-year age gap is rough, because the oldest is still at that age that they want Mom's undivided love, but they're old enough to remember when they did have it, so they feel they're being screwed.

Point is that all of these little details when raising kids do not end up mattering. What matters is: (1) Genetics, (2) exposure to toxins, and (3) avoiding real hardcore abuse.

The only other "environmental" factor that really matters is the shared environment (eg. culture kid is raised in).

Everything other than that that parents can control is meaningless.

This is just pronatalist wishful thinking. Lots of little things, including birth order, affect life outcomes. Higher birth order is associated with slightly lower IQ; a male child who has more older brothers is more likely to be homosexual. And you're ignoring how genetics and environment can interact; by your own argument, a baby genetically predisposed to be highly neurotic is more likely to be traumatized by non-abusive but adverse environmental factors.

Much harder than going from zero to one. I laugh whenever parents of only children complain; it’s about the same as a high-maintenance dog.

I have two 19 months apart. The new baby will be significantly easier, but the challenge comes from dealing with jealousy/attachment issues from the older kid and learning how to manage both at the same time. You’ll also be in uncharted territory with the oldest and figuring out potty training sleep regression and general brattiness you haven’t experienced before. Just remember that it’s all just phases and the kid will move onto the next thing in 30-60 days usually.

She just got super attached to her mother, because in her mind the little one usurped all the attention. For us it never manifested in any negative behavior towards her sister but it wore on my wife’s patience and it’s never any fun to feel rejected by your kid. You kinda just have to talk them through it and be firm whenever the tantrums get past a certain level. As with most things half the battle is staying on the same page with your wife and just accepting the kid preferred her attention until they grow out of it. You’re getting a double whammy of the terrible twos, which are annoying to begin with plus managing the changes to the household. Just don’t let the kid run the show and be patient

Our oldest was 2, had zero attachment issues and was basically just obsessed with the baby/thought of herself as a second mom.

0 to 1 was a much bigger change than 1 to 2, but probably had to do w the fact wife became a SAHM between 1 and 2.

We’re at 3 now and wife keeps pining for #4.

It shouldn't be that much harder given that

(i) You should already know what you're doing

and

(ii) your life is already kid-centric. your saturday is going to be spent at the aquarium instead of the music festival - you might as well take 2 kids instead of 1

--as someone with a bunch of kids i can say definitively that 3-4 gap is A LOT easier than 1-2. sure they might play a bit more together but its a constant struggle for resources so the "playing" is constantly interupted by punching

just a reminder that if you take any advice from xo seriously your kids will end up retarded, evil, jewish, bald, and worst of all -- heterosexual. whatever people here are telling you: do the opposite and your kids will turn into little von neumanns. it's Scientifically Proven.

Have 2 kids about 2 years apart and the oldest is preschool aged. Going from 0 to 1 was still the bigger adjustment. The second one isn’t quite as bad because I think you’re generally less neurotic about everything so the newborn stage is overall less stressful. The first year sucked, but then it generally gets better. I think it’s a lot harder on the dad because you basically need to be a lot more

Involved with everything while mom is taking care of the baby.

We have 1 and a dog and it is hard but manageable. A second would be the point at which it is probably not very manageable.
