The Second Child Survey?

Question

If you are a mother of 2+ children, will you please take the time to answer a few questions for me? I'm about to have my second child, and before he comes along I would like to write an article (more of a journal entry) for my own personal amusement, and to find out a little bit more about what it may be like. Thank you to anyone who does this for me. I really appreciate it.

1. How old was your first child when the second one was born?

2. Do both children live with you (are they together full-time)?

3. Do you have a partner (boyfriend/husband) living with you who helps with the children, or do you do it alone?

4. How would you compair your experiences with your second child to your first? (Is it easier, harder, or about the same as it was with your first child?)

5. After having your second child, do you forsee yourself having more children in the future?

6. Before your second child, did you think you'd want more than two children total?

7. Do you work, are you a stay-at-home-mom, or do you stay home while the kids go to school/daycare?

If any of these questions seem too personal, feel free to leave it blank, even if you want to fill out the rest. And let me assure you, if anyone judges you by your answers, it won't be me.
