        Congratulations @EdH

        Although I would have thought the stop after 1 and just buy a bigger TV rule would have come into action

          @EdH congratulations! Parenthood only really begins with the second child.

            Thanks @SKT @Brian and @endo. I understand that the effort levels required rise exponentially rather than proportionately.

            @Brian Luckily, we got a bigger telly in the post-Xmas sales this year, so me and my PlayStation are all set on that front!

            Take the dive...

              @EdH Our first one was easy and I thought that parents were exaggerating about their experiences…our second one damn near broke us.

              I love them both and things have gotten progressively easier…although the oldest is now a teen (whole new list of things) and the other one will be in a few years.

              Not going to lie though, I love being a dad (most days). 😂

                Congratulations @EdH ! Look forward to your new-baby pics.

                The journey is the objective.

                  @EdH - congrats man!

                  Re your Pro Tip, mine and my wife’s social lives revolve almost exclusively around the people we met at the parenting/baby group, and our eldest is now 22yo!

                  However, be very careful if the partners meet up for coffee every week. All 6 of the ladies in our friendship group got pregnant with their second child within the same 12-month period!! Apparently they discuss things…🤷‍♂️

                    Would've been the same in our case, but for the fact that we had some difficulties. Little Miss H is the eldest among our parenting group, but Baby H II is also going to be the youngest!
