age gaps...again!

[jillycar]

Anyone with an 8 year old, a five year old and a new born? How do you find it and how do these age gaps pan out over the coming years? Does the youngest end up being the odd one out or holding others back from 'older children' activities?? Would be interested to hear about people's experiences. Thank you!

We have a 9 6 and 3 year old and a newborn expected. We make sure they all have individual time with one of us. So ive just got back from cinema with the oldest , 6 yr will go for brunch with dh tomorrow morning and i'll take 3 yr old swimming on my own when they go back to school next week.
I quite like the age gap and think yjey actually get on better as they need you in different ways. For example the youngest is quite cuddly atm but the older ones dont get jealous.

Thank you for your reply- good to hear people's experiences x
