Age gaps, Whats best?

[pontypandy]

Hi all I didn't quite no where to post this so if you have any other suggestions as to where to post this that would be great.

Hi i currently have one DS who is 4 and is turning 5 in September and will be starting reception and few days after.

I haven't had any more in them 5 years because i was very young when i had DS and well wasn't ready for any more.

But now DS is starting school and i am growing up and i am ready to have another one, but DH is not keen just yet.

He says we can wait another couple of years and start trying when DS is 7 or 8.
Is this gap to big??

What age gaps have you got and how do you find they interact with each other??

Thanks in advance, i look forward to you reply's

Different gaps suit different DCs/parents I think. Pros and cons in every gap.

there is 23mths between dd1 & 2. They used to get on really well when they were little.

3yrs 8mth between dd2 and ds1, dd2 was not happy when ds1 arrived, but they are close now.

3yrs 3mths between ds1 and dd3, ds was very excited to have a baby.

14mths between dd3 and ds2, They get along so well, worst part was being heavlily pregnant and trying to entertain a busy 1 yr old.

18mths between ds2 and dd4. Again worst part was being pregnat and having to run around after 2 toddlers.
