 Is it summer yet?  Group: Member Posts: 817 Joined: Nov 2006 Member No: 477,032  |
So Hubby and I have decided to try for another baby. We had our first son 5 months ago. Obviously I want them close in age. I think it'll be easier to get the baby stuff over around the same time (bottles, diapers). And it'll be nice for them to be close. I think that mostly has to do with the fact that my sister and I are about 17 years apart.
And I'm 24 so I want to have them while I'm still young. And I want at least 2 kids. Maybe even 4. So my question is how many kids do you want and would you rather have them close in age or a few years apart? |

I've always said that I want three, but if I have twins -- which is highly likely -- I'm gonna stop there. If I end up having three, I want them spaced a little bit apart, like two to three years.

I know two people who have siblings that are three years apart and they don't get a long at all, and one kid put it like this, he said that you don't know whether to consider them close your age or your little sibling. |

QUOTE(Tomates @ Feb 21 2009, 02:34 PM) The one thing i've heard about having kids three years apart is that they don't always get along. I have two brothers, one is three years older than me and the other is four years older than me and we are pretty close. I'm not as close with the eldest, because he doesn't live near me and is going through some personal stuff. But my other brother and I get along really well. He isn't mushy mushy, but he cares about me a lot and I care about him a lot. I think the environment that siblings grow up in effects their relationships a lot. I grew up in a really bad environment, which kind of forced me to get along with my brothers because we needed each others support./endneedlessrant |
