How does the dynamic change when you add a second child to the family?
Cupid’s Advice:
Many consider having a second child so that their first will have a sibling. The thought of having two children might sound amazing, but changes to the family will occur. Here are just a few:
1. Expenses: Having another child means there will be more expenses. Therefore, you might have to limit how much you give your first child. Â It’s all about compromise and sharing.
2. Daily routines: All of your daily routines will change in order to accommodate the new member to your family.  This may mean your first child won’t get as much attention.
3. Balance your time: Since you aren’t taking care of one child any more, you will have to balance your time to make sure each of your children get what they need.  If you don’t, as your children get older, there might be some competition between them.
