Trying to Get Pregnant

We're ready for number 2!!!

DH and I are on our 1st cycle of ttc our 2nd LO our oldest just turned 3 in the end of Febuary now I know it can take some time so I'm kinda worried they'll be to far apart in age I really wanted no more then 3 yrs apart but we weren't ready we actually were fine with the idea of only having 1 LO but with me and baby fever and DH saying maybe we should have 1 more and DS always saying he wanted a sibling we decided it's time what do y'all think is it to big of a gap? What are y'all experiences, with close in age or a bigger gap between LO? Not that it's going to change my mind lol just curious as to what others think

    You may want to develop a thicker skin if you're planning on sticking around. Just sayin'.

    Soooo...you COULD care less about it?

    I'm confused.

    I thought you didn't like punctuation or grammar so that's probably why.
  • I was going to type out a sincere response to your question about spacing, until you were so rude. 

    No thanks!

  • As far as age gaps go, in my family I'm the oldest, I'm a little over 2 years older than my brother and 5 years almost to the day older than my sister. My brother and I especially were close as younger children, but we grew apart as we got older. We all love each other, but none of us are particularly close or friends. While age differences might play some parts, it's a lot about personality and also the family dynamic in general.

    If you want a second (or more) child, then I wouldn't let just fear of age difference stop you from trying. It's not like you can go back and make the kids closer together, so I'd make my peace with it.

    I will say that when H and I started, we wanted our kids pretty close together. However, if it takes as long for #2 as it has for #1, or if it's even possible, we'll be looking at probably a 3 years age gap.

  • Seriously thanks to all that were helpful and to all that were rude I'm feel sorry so for you and miserable life lol I mean come on some were jumping down my throat for not using punctuations that's why I got offend I obliviously could careless about it if its really that horrible and not understandable don't respond that's what I tried posting but missed a few words earlier goodbye!!! Have a great day!!!
  • I wasn't going to open this because it just looked like an intro, and I was in a cranky mood, but I'm glad I did just for the obliviously could care less moment. I laughed.

    And OP, I have 5 siblings. My older sister is two years older than me, and we never speak. I can honestly say that I want very little to do with her. My younger brother is two years younger than me, and we also rarely speak, however, the other three siblings, with whom there is a four year or greater age gap, I am very close to. Age is just a number. Personalities will have much more of an effect on closeness.

    My LO just turned three at the beginning of February. We started TTC last August but to no avail. I wanted kids no more than three years apart as well.. but as DD grows older, I see her with more babies like her cousins and she is so gentle with them - it's adorable. So the more I think of it, for my DD, she's at the right age now, where as before, she was too young and rough. 

    To answer your question, I don't think there is really too big of an age gap. I think you need to do what's right for you, H and your LO.

    ETA - I really should read through the rest of the comments before adding anything. C'mon, OP!

    OP, this is how I feel when you try to communicate:

    Please STOP procreating (OP: 10pts if you even know what that word means). Please!
  • So, at this point, you are refusing to use punctuation. Is it that you are not educated on the correct usage of punctuation? I am genuinely concerned here.

  • I am 2.5 years older than my brother. We didn't get along growing up. Now that we're over 25, we get along fine but it took him joining the Army and being gone for 5+ years for me to be able to tolerate him. He lives with us now, but is a truck driver so he's only home like once a month. This might also contribute to why we like each other now. A small gap doesn't mean you'll have a good relationship.

    I was going to answer with my own personal experience, but seeing as how you decided to go all cranky pants I think I will wait until after you've had a nap.

    she had to of known that her response wasnt going to go over well considering it was barely coherent since it had no capitalization and punctuation and based on the fact that it was practically impossible to read anyways so it made no sense and so nobody really understood the point she was trying to make about the age gap between her children then she got all butthurt over it and it just added fuel to the fire so instead of getting useful advice she got all of this

    I'm going to assume this is a joke...right? I can't handle anything else.


    ---the bump needs to improve the quoting feature---

    I believe it is a joke.
