Daily Coronavirus Check-in: When it comes to second children are we more relaxed or just lazy?

Today I wanted to talk about second children (and thirds and fourths and fifths – if you’re really game). I’m keen to know if we really are more chilled with each kid, or if we are just being lazy? Like most parents, I am bloody knackered. It’s nothing unique, but since the kids arrived my husband and I have pretty much slept terribly and aged dramatically. I use this as a justification for most of my parenting and life fails… leaving the hand-break on when driving, letting my kids wear clothes from the dirty laundry pile… serving weet bix for dinner… I was told things would be easier with multiple kids because you’re so much more relaxed than when you have your first, but I’ve started to worry that my version of chilled, is just plain lazy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
