Following on from yesterday’s spiel about Dads with post-natal depression (just scroll down people, I can’t be bothered inserting a hyperlink - is that blogging bad manners or what?)…

My good mate, Molks, has opened his life for inspection in a brave and humble way over at his blog. (Damn, I had to do a link anyway.)

He mentions that many people told him that the “most difficult change is from 1 kid to 2 kids… the added grabs for attention, the learning of the first kid to understand that Mum and Dad can no longer lavish their total attention on them all the time, etc. ”

I absolutely agree. Add to that the normal demands of new baby and well, woah Nelly! It gets a little stressful…

(And not just for the parents. I remember Oldest Son asking - when Youngest Son was about 8 weeks old - if we could take him back to the hospital and leave him there)

But then again, I only have 2 kids.

Maybe the “most difficult change” is actually from 2 to 3??
