Hi not sure were to put this but thought i;d post it here.

I really want another child but not sure when the best time is??

I have 1 DS who is 4.10 5 in September when he will also being starting reception, will doing half days until January when he will be full time.

I am thinking this is a good age gap but atm DS's behaviour hasn't been the best he is becoming quite "naughty" Hitting ppl, talking back and not listening ect...

Some ppl have told me that a sibling could make his behaviour better and that when he starts school that will help too, but with DS behaviour the way he is atm it is really making me think should I have another.

What do you reckon??

There's no right or wrong age gap between children, although it will be easier for activities and playing together if you have another sooner rather than later. I don't know if having a sibling will make your DS any better behaved generally - he's at that age when behaviour can get a bit challening. But he might surprise you with the baby. I have three sons. My elder two were 7 and 4 when their baby brother arrived and both have been brilliant with him - very loving and attentive, although they fight plenty with each other and are sometimes not very well behaved in other aspects. Inspite of all the trouble and noise I do enjoy having a big family so my advice would be to go for it! Good luck!
