Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

My children will be 3 years and about 3 weeks apart. I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

I knew fairly early on that I couldn't handle being in the 2 under 2 club, because my daughter is just a lot to handle - collicky from the start, and as a toddler very demanding, stubborn and spirited. I was hoping to get pregnant about 6 months ago, which would have made them about 3 years apart, but my body isn't quite cooperating, so it will be more likely 3.5 to 4 year age difference, which, I think will make it easier for me to manage in the longrun.

Nope, I am waiting too. FInancial issues, AND I want to be done with school, and be in a different career where I can be home more. I have AGe and IF against me also, but we do not plan on trying until Parker is 3-4.

No you are not the only one.. I would like to have my 2nd when dd is 3 yrs old. It is something I have always wanted to do. and everyone who I mention this to tells me I am crazy. i know what I can handle and 2 under 2 is not for me..

If we decide to have another they will be about 3 years apart..I want to give Gavin all of my attention now and for financial and medical reasons I need them spaced out that much!!

Kerri and will be at least 3 years apart.....I didn't want another any sooner than that

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

My sister and I are 3.5 years apart and I always thought that was perfect. . . hopefully I'll have that same situation.

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

Sometimes I feel like that but to each his own. I personally dont want 2 in diapers and me and my sister were 4 years apart and we were and still are very close.

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

THANK you for posting this! YES! All my friends I was pregnant with already had their seconds. We just aren't ready. So we are waiting. Sometimes I feel bad about it, but then I ask myself, why?? I'm not ready. So now I get to spend more time focusing on my Jordy!

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

ideally, Steven's future sibling will be 3, maybe even closer to 4 years apart. I do feel like the odd man out, but that's OK. It's still not changing my mind

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

We will ttc# 2 this summer making DD and baby # 2 3 years apart. I read recently that psycholgists (sp!) say this is the perfect diffrence in sibling ages for various reasons. If we decide to go for #3 then there may not be as big of a gap as I hear the tick tock...but you are right most of my friends and family are having their kids much closer together.

I LOVE the time that we are having with DD before #2 arrives - she will had lots of one on one time by then.

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

No you are not alone...

Mine would be at least 3.5 yrs apart as of this moment.

There was no way I wanted to have another before 3 yrs apart.

Sometimes I feel the tiniest twinge of regret for waiting this long but not because of what everyone else is doing, only because sometimes I think it would have been kind of nice also if #2 was to arrive a little sooner than 3.5 yrs.

Re: For those that plan on/have separating DC 3 or more years apart

I was upset at first that mine will be a few years apart(I am an Irish twin, so that made sense to me)...but timing is off.

We move around so much and have 2 more moves ahead of us. I don't want to do dr switching again, moving and packing...

so I am trying to look forward to the benefits...

I can nurse Josh for an extended period.

I LOVED my infant time with Josh. I had a super small apt(easy to clean) no family...just me and my baby to hold and love all day long. Maybe at 3, Josh will be more independent, hang with Leo more...so I can have infant time again.
