My wife has the best answer to this. She always said we should have at least two children because otherwise the child would not have someone to conspire against his parents. © Martijn Sjoorda / Quora
I had the wonderful experience when I was in my late teens of having two godsons. Brothers that I was very involved when they were babies/toddlers and they are only about a year apart. Through them, I got to see very early that two is actually somewhat easier than one. There are moments, sometimes huge chunks of the day, where you are not the only other person in their world. They have each other. © Oninokoneko / Reddit
I was an only child. My cousins — three kids in the family — thought I had it made. I got “all” the Christmas presents, “all” the birthday present — woo! Me? I found it a lonely existence. I hated being an only child, and wanted a sibling. When my wife and I got married I told her, “I do not want to raise an only child. We can either have none, or more than one.” So we ended up with three of the best kids on the planet. © Bob Jarvis / Quora
One thing that’s wonderful with having more than one is that you’re spreading the kids’ attention with another person. They will play together and eventually the oldest will help more and more. It’s always chaos in the beginning. But the more children you have, in my experience, the easier it gets. © clullanc / Reddit
