DS is just 3. We always knew we didn't want 2 small children close in age.
Due to coronavirus we've had to re book our holiday we had planned for next May, so ideally now along with other factors (husband is in the middle of learning to become a pilot) we are looking at thinking about trying for baby number 2 from May 2021. This means DS will be 4 when we start trying, so who knows what age he will be once we get pregnant and have baby 2 he could be nearly 5 or even 6.
Something my friend once said always sticks in my mind about age gaps, aha has twins and a son who are 3 years age gap, and she said that anything bigger than that is a nightmare as they don't play together, aren't interested in the same things and on days out your trying to do things with a little one and the big one wants to do something else!
Can people with bigger age gaps tell me the good things about it?! I'd love to hear of anyone's personal experiences 😊 x
