Should I have another child?

Just do it...literally!

 

I don't have any kids, so I can't give a very informed opinion, but I'll say this...

All your cons are temporary. All your pros are for a lifetime.

 

Two is the way to go.

 

The pros certainly do outweigh the cons, however, there are countless draw backs and pros to each.

My mother had me 12 years after my sister. She was only 27 at the time of my birth though. 3-6 years is a good gap. My sister was already out of the house by the time I was 8 or so.

Go for it. It's just another few years of sleepless nights, etc.

 

You are confusing me....

 

You know they say that three is easier than two?

I have four (two sets: 24, 21, 8 and 6).

Everything you've loved about your first child will be available to you with your second-- as will all the sacrifices that you've duly noted.

I'll bet your child wants one but YOU AND YOUR WIFE HAVE TO WANT IT.

 

You should get an award for cutting through the clutter!!

 

Have another child, sibling rivalry can be a good thing, keeps things competitive. Plus, having the next Tiger Woods for a child can be a good thing in your later years

 

We've been talking about a second one. We didn't have too many sleepless nights with the first, so I'm not too worried about that. My wife grew up with a huge family, I grew up an only child - she originally wanted one and I originally wanted two. Our son is just over a year so we have some time to decide yet.

 

You get to add another 5% to child support.

 

A sibling can help ease the emotional burden of watching your parents age.

 

I would like 2 kids someday.

I can definitely say having my sister with me throughout the years has been awesome. We can share our thoughts and feelings and confide in each other. I couldn't imagine being an only child.

 

or 5.

 

^ EXACTLY.

 

May your child be a masculine child.

 

Wow, you sound exactly like my wife and I. We have a 3 yr. old son and are talking about having another. I think the one thing that holds us back right now is this psychic who my wife has seen a few times. He has been eerily right on a ton of stuff (hell, he told her she was pregnant the first time when we had no idea. She was probably pregnant for about a week at the time). Anyway, he has constantly told her that when we get pregnant again, it will be with twin girls. I'm pretty comfortable with just my son right now and I can't imagine adding two more to the mix at the same time.

 

Is she also a replicant?

 

I have 2 (boy 5 girl 7) and they are great. we watch and play sports together. they are close enough in age to get along and like the same things. my son gets to go through highschool hitting on his older sisters friends.

kids rock and 2 is the perfect number.

 

Letting a scam-artist decide your future. What could possibly go wrong?

I will use my ESP to predict you will have 1 girl, 1 boy, and an octopus.

 

Go for it. But cap it at two. Anymore and you're approaching van territory.
