I stumbled onto this post and Ramshackle Glam back in 2019 when I had my second baby and was worrying and preemptively feeling sad about all the time I would miss out on with my first child. But of course it turned out there was nothing to worry about! And then RG continued to keep me company during all those middle-of-the-night feedings :)
Oh, that's amazing!! This post ended up getting distributed pretty widely; I actually met one of my best friends because we lived on the same block in San Jose and she recognized me from having read this post in particular. Thank you SO much for continuing to read - hopefully I can keep you company over here, as well :) :)
This is lovely! Can you also discuss the opposite—having and being an only child (which I think you are?) rationally i know it will all be okay, but still struggling with the decision (which was not totally made for me).
That's a fantastic post suggestion, and something I think about often - especially as I'm getting older, dealing with my parents aging more or less on my own, etc. I will absolutely write about this.
