The amount of time that having an additional child takes isn't linear. If you have multiple children of a similar age (which is the most common scenario); you can entertain, feed, etc. them at the same time.
it still takes more time than one children. even if it's ten minutes for things that can't be parallel like changing nappies, it contradict the claim that one children takes all of one's time
it's simple hard logic, wouldn't have expected to have to explain it or getting downvoted for it on hacker news.
When you have one child you give them all your attention. When you have two you divide it.
When you have one, maybe it take 5 minutes to change a nappy, then you play for 10 minutes after. When you have two, you then have 10 minutes of nappy changing time, then only 5 minutes to play. The time is reallocated, not added to.
Well it's good that you are finding that your experience of parenting is giving you the balance that you need. Not everyone's child or experience is the same.
but that's the whole point of the goddamn argument: giving the child 100% of oneself is a _choice_ not a fact of life. own the choice, instead of complaining that there' no time for anything else.
I'm sorry but this last comment of yours made me literally laugh out loud.
So, not being a parent yourself, you claim that not only is becoming a parent a choice when it is most certainly NOT (rape, faith, the reasons are myriad) but you also claim to know better than parents just how much time/attention raising a child takes.
Your entire 'argument' in this thread is nothing but what you think/imagine vs. reality
it's simple hard logic, wouldn't have expected to have to explain it or getting downvoted for it on hacker news.
