I love the honesty in this thread!

Having 2 definitely has its challenges! My DH and I always talk about how much easier it was with just one. There are times when they both get along really well and it's AWESOME!!! But 10 minutes later, they're fighting. Usually my son is playing with a toy and my daughter takes it away from him. I hate those moments because I don't always know how to handle it. Do I talk to my son about sharing with his sister? Or do I talk to my daughter about not snatching toys from her brother? On one hand, I think my son needs to be a little more understanding because he's older and she's just a baby. At the same time, my daughter should know not to touch her older brother's toys if he's still playing with it. I'm constantly battling these types of things in my head. So it's both physically AND mentally tiring for me.

But at the end of the day, I wouldn't change it for the world!!! I love having a bigger family and I love the moments when my son hugs his sister when she's hurt, runs into her room every morning and says "Hi!! Good morning sister!!", and how he always looks for her lovey when she cries because he knows it'll soothe her. I live for those moments!
