How many years apart are your first two kids ?

Question

Do you like how many years apart they are ? Please explain the pros and cons. Thank you

Answer

6 yrs apart. 
Pros - my daughter is old enough to understand when the baby needs a little more hands on and might take me a sec to get to her and can do more things independent.
- she helps me, brings me wipes, diapers or a bottle. ( she was a huge help because i had a c section and hubby had to work). 
- when shes at school i have 1 on 1 time with my son and then when shes home i get 1 on 1 with her so its balanced.
For cons can't say i have any. Maybe i wished they were a little closer in age but she still loves playing with him and knowing shes a big sister 💕

Answer

My son turned 4 in October and I’m having a babygirl January 2020. He’ll start pre k next year and I feel it’s a good age gap. He’s very independent and doesn’t need me for every little thing, he helps me clean up, he cleans up after himself and is honestly very responsible, also he isn’t in diapers anymore 😂 it’s going to be easier having a newborn since he’s not 100% dependent on me anymore, but this baby and next I’d like to be closer in age. Maybe a year or two? I’ll see how this plays out first.

Answer

2 years and 10 months apart

Answer

My girls are 17.5 months apart and I love their small age gap. It is perfect for our family. They get along really well and once my oldest grows out of something, it goes right in our youngest’s closet so we get good use out of everything.

Answer

My oldest two are 7 years apart(both girls). Pros are my 9 yr old is more independent so my baby girl(2yrs old).  wants to be like her and learn to do things early(I.e. getting herself dressed, potty training, cleaning up). Cons are since they are so far apart they do not really have anything in common so playing together is sort of rare. Also my husband and I have to work hard to spend time with them together(family time) and separately(doing their individual favorite activity). It can be kind of rough when the 2 yr old is being clingy while the oldest may have an actual need for me at the moment. Overall the pros outweigh the cons on any day because my oldest is super helpful and she actually enjoys entertaining her sister most of the time. I’m currently pregnant with our third baby(boy) so he’ll be 3 yrs younger than our baby girl and 10 yrs younger than our oldest so we’ll see how that goes lol.
