I have two children. I also love my two children quite deeply. I can't imagine life without either of them. Both are a complete joy in their own ways. However, I'm also sure I am crazy for adding a second child to my family. Every day I am finding new ways as to why having two children makes you completely insane. 1- You never get to sit down for more than 3 minutes.
