I loved it, Erin was independent in regard to using the toilet , feeding herself , she loved helping/being involved in getting her baby brother ready, choosing outfits, bath times , it was honestly a dream.

Fast forward three years, they have a great bond but do wind each other up lol which is expected.

Cons - not any I can think of to be hobest. I suppose now Erin goes to primary school and Charlie goes to nursery which is two separate places but it's not really an issue at all. Xx

Aw thank you, I suppose it was nice how you also spent quality time with Erin first before her little brother came. That's filled me with reassurance, thank you 😊 x

Honestly it was perfect! I felt complete at the time and we all felt more close if that made sense. More love to share ❤️ xx

Yes I'm hoping it'll be easier with a bigger gap. Oh yes I can imagine 10 years is difficult. X

I don't. But I asked my mam is a bigger or smaller age gap was better when I fell pregnant with Aniela. Me and my sister are exactly 4years and 10 months apart. My mam has always said it was a nice age gap as when my sister was born I was pretty self sufficient. My sister and brother have a 2 year age gap and my mam said it was much harder with a smaller age gap!

Although me and my sister hated eachother until I was around 20 and she was almost 16. We'd argue constantly. She was so annoying. But then again my younger brother and sister are the same 😂 x

I suppose its pot luck whether siblings get on or not regardless of the age gap. Thank you though x

Aww, yes I've noticed your posts, congratulations on your pregnancy. :) We've been trying for a year now with no luck, and would really like to book a holiday to Mexico next year, as I've been asked to be a bridesmaid over there, meaning I couldn't travel whilst pregnant (Zika virus). I just don't know whether to put our family plans on hold for another few years.

thankyou, I'm hoping it won't be too bad as my son is quite independent now, dresses himself etc so I'm hoping I'll have me a little helper.

I understand your concerns regarding Zika. Its whether you'd be willing to cancel plans if you were to conceive in the mean time.. it's a hard choice isn't it knowing whether to put your life on hold or not. I hope you get your wish soon 🙏xx

ye you're right about your little boy being more independent, hopefully that'll make things easier for you with a newborn. Hope everything goes well for you 🙏 x
