In retrospect it was quiet, serene, peaceful. You dote on the kid and feel like you and ur wife are on this special journey. Your focus changes in a good way. Life becomes full of these precious moments with the kid, not a bunch overwhelmingly profound ones necessarily, just small waves of contentment.

Then that second motherfucker comes and you find out what fatigue is all about.

None of those things are true, u just don't have perspective to know any better.

Counterintuitively, the most stressful number for parents (based on surveys, etc) is 3. Once you get above 3 I think parents learn to slide and let do. Also I think there are enough kids that they play with each other and don't need as much mom/dad time any more

This was it for me. When we had only 2, they were both helpless and required 100% attention. The first year after our third was largely the same, but after a while our oldest was able to pitch in a little here and there at least, which helped a ton

going from 0 to 1 is life changing.

going from 1 to 2 really depends on age gap imo. 2 kids in 2 years is completely different from 2 kids in 5 years.

3 is the most stressful according to surveys. 4 is the least stressful.

any more and it's just marginal.
