Have you become more relaxed after having more kids?

I've found that stuff I was sooo worried about with my first, I'm more relaxed about with my second. Now I'm not the type that always worries about every little thing. I realize that kids are going to get hurt and you can't bubble wrap them. But I'm more relaxed about what they play with and I'm not as jumpy.

Yes, i think it always happens with all those who have two kids, that we feel mch more relaxed with our second kids.
I think the reason is because, we have gained that experience, knowledge and now we feel that we can raise the second one on our own too. Whatever fears, apprehensions, tensions, worries, etc, that we had during the first child, are all set aside when the second one is born or there after the kids born. As now, we already know what to expect, we are preapred and guarded, for all those things whihc we were not for the first born.
At times, i always feel now that, i was too worried or tensed during my first baby and was worried about every small thing she would start doing and i would stop her much more oftener, so that she does not hurt herself. But with the second one, its like let her be rough and tough and she is just like that, more bold, sturdy, tougher and happy go lucky kinds too, guess it makes all the difference.
