- You may have different experiences
Your first child was asleep every night by 8 since he was 6 months old. Baby number 2 gets up at 8 in the evening, and likes your undivided attention until 10 pm.
These things will adjust, but it does show us we can never expect every child to fall in line with your schedule.
Then on the other side of the spectrum, your first child may have cried from colic hours a day, and your new blessing doesn’t make a peep.
