What is a good age gap between kids?

Question

Answer

In my experience with having multiple siblings:
My older brother and I are 3 years apart. This worked out pretty good for my mom because my brother was able to help her go grab diapers, wipes, a new outfit if I soiled one, etc. And he understood why mommy wasn't able to be up and running around with him all the time in the beginning and he always wanted to help and to hold me, and was fascinated watching my mom breastfeed me and he understood that boobies are for babies to eat from and grow strong from.
Two of my younger siblings are 2 years apart. The older of the two was too young to be as independent from mommy as my older brother was and didn't understand why mommy couldn't play or why she couldn't play hard with the baby because shed forget that he wasn't like a doll. I was 9 at the time, so I helped out the most with taking care of the two year old and the newborn if my mom needed me to.
My two younger siblings never stop fighting.
My older brother and I would fight (he always tried to do karate moves on me or wrestle me and my only defence that worked successfully was licking him because he didn't want "girl spit" on him 😂😂😂) but we got along way better than my younger siblings. They fight over anything and everything and get on eachother's nerves daily.
I would have to say that 3 years apart or more causes less fights and less stress on momma.

Answer

It's a personal choice. My son is turning 8 in August, NY daughter turns 2 in october. So there's 6 yrs between them. My sister in laws have kids close in age. My youngest sister in laws oldest just turned 6, her youngest is 6m, her middle is about 4 I believe. My oldest sister in law has 2, the oldest is almost 7, her youngest is almost 5. So on my husbands side of the family there are 7 grand kids with the oldest being 7, and the youngest 6 months between 3 couples. MIL has 2 more son's who don't have kids yet.

Answer

I think it all depends on you.

There are struggles with all age groups/gaps.

My sons are 8 years apart.  I would have had them closer but it worked out really well... so far!
