17 Parents Share What They Realized After Having a Second Child

Although it’s a blessing, having a second child can either be a piece of cake or a challenging assignment. Some parents can experience a more relaxed and carefree parenthood. Others have to learn how to deal with the tons of laundry that suddenly become part of their routine. But they all agree that giving a sibling to their first kid is also giving him or her a best friend for life.

Bright Side wanted to know how parents felt and what they learned when the second little one appeared in their lives and now we’ll share what we found with you. If you are a second-time parent, prepare yourself for a high amount of relatability.
