After all, kids don't come with operating manuals. (Nor can you deactivate them and placard them as inoperative when you want them to be quiet for a while!  ) |
It's amazing, though, how much more relaxed you'll be with the second one. No manual, maybe, but by now you've figured out that they don't break very easily and get by just fine with a lot less maintenance than you originally thought. My sister has a two year old (her fourth son), and her oldest is a freshman in college so she's got plenty of experience behind her. She's real laid back with the baby, and he is one of the mellowest and happiest kids I've ever seen.
(I probably should have remembered this was #2 for you. Oops!)
Anyways, enjoy!
