Age gap

[Taxojax]

If you had 3 children and got to pick your child's age gaps, what would it be and why? These being the options:

A) 8, 3, 0
B) 10, 2, 0
C) 6, 3, 0
D) 6, 2, 0
E) 10, 4, 0
F) 4, 2, 0
G) 12, 8, 0

If none would be ideal to you, I'd like to hear some opinions on why?
thank you

Why would you like to know?

It really doesn’t matter .

4, 2, 0
But why? It's not like you can choose.

6,3,0 But why?

Option F is the closest to what I have, but not exactly. I had three under four for a short while. I wanted to get it all over and done with in a few years, so planned to have three close together.

It doesn't matter, do whatever is right for you.

So, its not really the ages I was looking for, it was the reasons why. Im not trying to "go against nature" or "over plan" if that's what you're concerned about, just wanted to hear opinions from those who have possibly got children at those ages and enjoy it. Or who are hoping for those age gaps and why?

In that case: I think a 2 year age gap is ideal when kids are young, as they have interests in common.
And I'd prefer to get the difficult stages out of the way all together rather than one at a time.

I only have the one little girl at the moment and not sure if I will have any more (she's almost 2 but not planning any more atm) but I think E sounds ideal to me.

Oh forgot to say Why lol

I really want to be able to give them as much of my attention as possible in the early years. So if my first was 6 when I had my second, she would be a lot more independent than having a toddler, and same with second being 4 when I had the 3rd.

I wouldn't want any less than a 3/4 year age gap as an absolute minimum!

C for me
I have 3 each 3 years 9 months between them! Just worked out that way
It was ideal as I had time for them, just as one went off to nursery
Also I couldn't have used a double buggy!( disabled)

F nice two year age gaps.

I have one sibling and I wish we were much closer in age. I’m 6 years older and we had zero shared interests throughout childhood. We were just starting to spend some time together as he became a teenager but I moved out when he was 14 so we lost all of the ground we’d made up.

I think it would have been better if we’d been 2-3 years apart.

Thank you for this! I'm adamant I'll want more than 2, but we have to make the decision soon as to whether I have our 2nd asap (my DD is 18 months) leaving a 2-3 year age gap, or work on our home/finances which would mean looking at a 5/6 year age gap. This is why I wanted some ideas :) I think after reading these comments and speaking to family and friends we're going to aim for E and just work really hard on making sure DD has lots of time with her cousins (who are her age) and age appropriate clubs (brownies/cubs etc) to make sure she doesn't feel isolated being so much older than LO2 and 3.

Thank you again, you're such a helpful bunch
