My daughter will be 3 March.31st & baby boy is due tomorrow .
I'll be 22 in february and would like to have more kids in 7-10 years.
I'm going back to school & am going to have a career and buy a home before having anymore kids.
I know lots of people who have kids with over ten years age gap, and it seems to have worked out well for them.
DH is 35. I'm 28.
Ds1 will be 2 years 8 months when Ds2 arrives in February.
We both agree that is a good gap for us.
Ds1 can tell us what he needs or wants 90% of the time. He's starting to be interested in potty training. He is able to do simple tasks for himself. He has a decent grasp of manners. Last but definitely not least he is interested in babies and everything to do with babies.
If this pregnancy works my children will be 2 weeks shy of 4 years apart. My sister and I are 13 years apart and we both basically grew up as only children. I was a surprise and started kindergarten the same year she went to college. And I always had her to take me to things my mom wouldn't go to like rock concerts and stuff like that. So it was great having a way older sister for me!
I wanted to be done by 30 but couldn't shake wanting another so here I am pregnant with number 3 at 32. There will be a 9 year gap between my youngest and the baby when born. My oldest will be 12 and they are both SO excited to be getting a baby sibling! ❤️ Do what works for you! I will say that we are financially stable, both have nice cars (just upgraded to fit three kids better) and own a house. I'm not worried about the expense of a baby too much this time around which is nice since we have to buy everything again. I'll get to buy everything I want or need brand new. The only thing is that I know our lifestyle is really going to change having a little one again since my kids are completely independent now.
There's 7 years between DS & DD.
There will be 5 years between DD & this baby.
DS is 12 and is still just as excited about having another sibling (hoping for a brother).
I love the larger gap. Everyone gets plenty of time being the baby. I don't have to worry about early weaning before they're ready bc of pregnancy. And I get to enjoy sleep without training or forcing sleep before they're ready. They are somewhat independent & able to lend a helping hand with baby when/if needed. We also don't have a lot of sibling rivalry.... my sister & I are 2 years apart, we fought all the time.
She just always tries to talk shat or bring me down and it annoys me. Like she struggles with her 3 now and I don't want to put my kids into that position. I don't want that big of an age gap but only our future will tell. ?
4 year old, 1.5 year old, and 1 month old
We have been entertaining the idea of one more, but I'm not sure when or if it will even happen. I love that my kids are close in age. I don't think I could start all over again having older children who are independent. I fall into routine very easily, and that would be a huge adjustment for me. I had a hard time adjusting to life as a new mom with my first child, but with my second and third it was like second nature. I think I would be back to the first time mom state of mind if I left a huge age gap between my kids. It works for some, but I couldn't swing it.
My son will be a few weeks shy of 3 when we have baby number 2. I think its different for everyone. I could not possibly start all over again when my youngest was 7 or so. I think having them close is easier for me personally, but its personal preference. She isn't you so she needs to let you do what you're comfortable with.
ladies with 3 children
What's the age gaps?
Hey ladies , what's the age gap between you & your partner ? Or are you's the same age ? I'm 19 & my bf is 23! So 4 yrs lol ..
Age difference between your lo's
Whats the age difference between your lo's?
When do you think the right time is too have your second baba? Best age gaps? Tia🙂🙂
The LO I'm pregnant with now will be 12 1/2 years apart from my first. I agree it is too far apart because they won't be able to relate at all. I love how my 8, 4, 2, and 1 years old get along! My 12 year old will hold the baby or make him smile, but the bond between the others is so much stronger. It makes me sad for her....
