How big is the gap?

Heather577 · November 2008

For all the moms who already have children....how many years are between?

I have a 13 year old and a 10 year old....and now I'm expecting a third. They act pretty excited about a new brother or sister, but it will be interesting (to say the least) to see how they react when the baby is actually here.

Mine will only be about 3 when the baby is born so I do not think I will be of much help. But I was around 12 years old when my cousin was born and loved helping my aunt out. Actually if she was born in the summer I was going to go and stay with them for a few weeks to help out but her due date was Nov so I couldn't.

My eldest brother is 34 I am 23 and my youngest brother will be 14 on the 27th.

My older brother loved me and spoiled me and I do the same for my baby brother. With an age gap that "large" you are able to see the baby as more than compitition. You can enjoy the cute moments and the mile stones instead of feeling like you have to do something to get mommys attention.

They will do just fine.

I have a 10 yo daughter (she'll be 11 in January) and a 4 yo son. Expecting #3 in June.

Depending on the actual date that this baby is born my kids will be almost exactly 2.5 years apart

Mama Jan · November 2008

Mine will be 17 months apart. Yikes!

I really hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks!

my kids are 9 and 8.

PlannedChaos · November 2008

My kids are 14, 12, 10, and 8. (My DD will be 15 by the time the baby is born.)

My son just turned 15 and my daughter will be turning 8 in Jan. So about 8 yrs apart.

mine will be 16 months apart! Not exactly how we envisioned things- but I think it will work out great! I think it's great to be close in age and also great to be spread out- they are just different. Instead of being this baby's playmates your older children will be role models- both are fun, just in different ways!

This is my first baby, but we plan on waiting about 2.5-3 years before having another child.

TheBrowns · November 2008

DS will be 21 months. It should be interesting for us too!

My two will be 22 months apart.

Well, I don't have kids but my DH does. When I give birth SS will be 19 and SD will be 18. I don't know about SS since he doesn't live with us, but SD is NOT excited. In fact I have earned the most evil SM of the year when I got knocked up.
