Tell me your experience with having a second child and developing a relationship. We both love our first born in a way that can’t be described. Did you feel that immediately with baby #2, or eventually, or never…?

Won’t lie. Having a second was never something I expected to happen. I’m not sure either of us were ready for it and it’s absolutely gutted our sense of self, our relationship and our overall level of happiness.
That said we both absolutely love our two kids. We wouldn’t be without them and they make our lives so much more…full. It’s amazing to watch them play together, and to watch my eldest show genuine care for another human, and to watch my youngest learn and mimic his big sister.
It’s not been easy. I think we’d both admit that we’ve struggled with the transition from 1 to 2 in ways we never did form 0 to 1, and our youngest has been significantly more challenging than our eldest was, but even with that, he’s an absolute light in my world.
