My mother was quite long in the tooth 38-41 when we were born so she had to have us quickly. It has its good points and its bad points.

My son is 20 months and my daughter is 8 months. They are exactly 11 months 3 weeks apart. Obviously this wasn’t a planned pregnancy, but a blessing none the less. We want another baby, but this time we are waiting probably about a year or so.

My first two are 16 months apart and then the 2nd and last are exactly two years apart. So at one point I had three children under the age of 3 1/2, but I would do it all over again. It can be hectic at times, but I always wanted my kids to be close together in age. I am a twin, so I always liked having a sibling so close. I think it is a personal decision on the space between children…because it can be very crazy…not everyone is programmed to held that craziness.

Well I have 5 kids Luke age 6, Grace and Isabelle age 4,Wyatt age 2 and Ava who is 2 weeks old so my kids are almost exactly 2 years apart and that seems to work well because they can establish a close connection with each other but also not to close.

My first two (boy then girl) are 18 months apart and there are 26 months between number two and three (both girls). I don’t think there is a right time to wait between two girls they will hate each other no matter what. Then there are 5 years between my 3rd and 4th who is a boy and pretty much an only child with my 3rd one being 17 the baby is only 12 and that is a huge gap. On the bright side it easier to spend quality time with him because at 21,19, and 17 mom doesn’t exist except for money, food and laundry so I can give him the time he needs with me. I guess there are pro’s and con’s to every situation. I was 21 months older than my little brother and we were extremely close, but my kids are only beginning to learn to like each other as they grow up, except for the baby they still despise him most of the time but he usually deserves it.

My kids are 9yrs 2mos apart. My son was born right after I turned 21, so I wasn’t really thinking about another. My daughter was a complete surprise! Someone pointed out I’ll have one starting high school and another starting kindergarten.
My daughter is now 18 mos and is in love with her older brother. He walks in the door after school and she screeches like a teenager at a concert.

Mine are going to be 10 1/2 years apart. My son just turned 10 and I am 15 weeks pregnant now. I was only 17 when I had my son, so that was a large contributing factor to the gap. I would like the next one to be at least a two year gap.
