We have 4dc, all now school age. There is 5yrs 3months from top to bottom, so life was pretty hectic and nappy filled. Now they've got a little more independence and almost done with pull ups.
Just found out that after 5.5yrs, there will be a new youngest!
Is anyone out there the 'afterthought', or the 'accident' in their family? Does the youngest one feel left out? Do older ones find the younger one a restriction?
Do I need to consider having a 2nd later one so at least there'll be 2 of similar ages? (maybe taking it a step too far there!)
Thank you
