Best age between kids?

[spaceangel1382]

What would people say us the best age sufferance between children? There is 3 years between my sister and I and now we are older are best friends. But I read how kids change once their siblings are born and worry about upsetting my DD. who I can honestly say is the coolest kid I've ever met lol. She is 21 months now

I think everyone is different, some siblings just don't get each other regardless of the age gap but then others are best friends.

I have a friend who's dd's despise each other and they have an 11 month gap, they are now 5 and 6 Anne have just never got on.

I have a friend with a 2 year gap and her dd's are only just starting to communicate let alone play together, they are 3 and 5.

There is 8 years between my brother and I and we get on brilliantly (although normal sibling fights ensure) we are 25 and 17.

There is 19 years between my sisters and I and we get on most of the time, although they are 6 :o

I have 22 months between my first 2 and 9 years between ds's 2 & 3. Both good age gaps.

I have three years between my daughters and it has been great so far.

I think age has very little to do with it. It's more down to personality. My sister and I don't get on, don't speak. There's 21 months between us.

Totally down to personality as to whether they'll get on. Pros and cons to various gaps in terms of being relatively easier at baby stage with a bigger gap, hopefully easier later with a smaller gap etc.

DB are absolute best friends (3.5yr gap) but HATED each other as teenagers - started getting in again aged 14&17, we're now 28&26

DS and DS too little to tell but so far adore each other (3yr gap, aged nearly 4 and nearly 1)

There are good and bad points to any gap and like others have said it's all down to personality. My sister and I hated each other didn't get on well sometimes as kids. She's 3.5 years older than me and we're really close now.

My three boys have a 4 and 9 year gap - DS1 now at 18 has an amazing relationship with DS3 who is 5. They all get on pretty well, DS2 has asperger's so he's a bit different but they all choose to spend time together so that's a good sign! DS3 will be so upset when DS1 goes to uni next year (if he chooses to).

There's 15 months between my girls. I wouldn't have it any other way, they have always been very close, DD1 doesn't remember life without her lil sis. They're now at school & get really excited when they see eachother at break time, which is really sweet. Recently been getting alot of "are they twins?" lol.

I have 28mths between my children, they adore each other but wind each other up too. Ds is almost 5 and dd is 2.5. No jealousy to speak of and I have found it fairly easy. Every family is unique, what's good for one, is not so good for another.
