> lowering my personal expectations
Yes. raising one toddler was harder than I expected, two is not simple addition. Like kittens. It's an exponent. Figure when the youngest hits 10 you may be able to have a life of your own. By that time your goals may have changed. The sleep thing does get better eventually but then everything else happens.
There's other opinions and I say nothing against them; but i will repeat what others have said: It's worth the time. Raising another human being truly is one of the most rewarding things one can do.
