What is the age difference between your kids

DO they get along..Is that a good age difference. I only have one child at this point. If I start TTC now my kids would be 4 years apart. I am worried it is too much of an age difference

Re: What is the age difference between your kids

My eldest daughter was just shy of 5 when my twins were born. Partly due to her disability (she has Down SYndrome) they arent especially close...

With that said...the twins were 8 1/2 when DS was born. They are wonderful big sisters to him....and it's nice for them to take part in his care. They truly enjoy it.

Re: What is the age difference between your kids

DC are 3 years apart (both b-days are in May). 90% or more of the time, they get along great. They are individuals, so of course there are times when they both want the same toy, or DS wants to do an art project, and DD wants to "help", but otherwise, they get along really well.

DS often reads a book to DD just before bedtime.... Chat Icon

My kids will be just about 4 years apart. I personally think it's perfect for the kids, and for mommy and daddy Chat Icon

Re: What is the age difference between your kids

I only have one but my sister and I are 4 1/2 years apart. We are best friends. I think it is a great difference in age.

Re: What is the age difference between your kids

Mine will be 19 mos apart.

My nieces and nephews are all less than 2 years apart except 1 and they certainly have their moments (they range from 10-14 with the 18 year old being the outlier), especially the girls, but they get along well enough now as teens and will love having each other as adults.

I don't think that 4 years is that big a difference (I'm the baby of 5 and the nearest to me is 6.5 years older, oldest is 13.5 years older). They may not have much to do with one another when they're younger but when they're late teens, early adulthood they'll find that the age difference is not that great.

My two are going to be about 3 1/2 years apart. I wanted them closer to 3, but it didn't happen that way.

Re: What is the age difference between your kids

Robbie and No are 24 months apart. They drive each other up a friggin' wall.. and they take me with them.

They can be the best of friends - and it is really nice that they have each other when nobody else is around. And they love each other like nobody's business.. Robbie will ALWAYS defend Noah from anyone else and vice versa. But generally speaking - if given a choice they would rather play with their 'own' friends.

My girlfriend just had a baby - her oldest is 6 and the next oldest is 3. They all get along so well!

Re: What is the age difference between your kids

My DS and DD are 12.5 months apart. My DD is only 5 months and my DS 17 months so I can't really tell you how they get along. My DS does love his little sister. He loves to watch her in her crib, hug her, and talk to her. She also loves him and laughs at him all the time. I am really glad I decided to have them so close together.
