Dear Jessie,
What are your pros and cons of having a second child? My husband and I always wanted a large family but now I don't know.

Dear anonymous,
Pros
Your child has a built-in best friend.
When your snowed in or sick they still have someone other than you to play with
Only children tend to be more spoiled and self-centered and it’s hard for them to sympathize with others. Sharing taking turns are also harder.
Second children have their older sibling to emulate and over all hit mile stones like potty training earlier.
More love
Opportunity to have a child of each gender tho not a guarantee.
Cons
If you have a busy lifestyle you must consider whether or not you have time for another child.
Parental guilt. While giving a child a sibling is giving them so much a lot of parents feel like they are robbing their first child of their time and affections and making them share their possessions.
Space overall you will need more space double the children means double the car seats double the toys double the clothing so make sure you have enough space to allocate enough space for your second child.
