Boymum advice? Age gap?

[emmalinewre]

Hi! I've just found out we'll be welcoming our second boy very soon. There will be a four year age gap between him and DS1.

Any boy mums able to reassure me about what it's like to have two boys?
I am slightly grieving not being a mum of one of each, but more concerned about what having two boys will be like, and with that sort of age gap also.
Are they too far apart to get on/enjoy similar things?

I have a boy and a girl with a 5 year age gap. Honestly, the age gap is great. I think it made life so much easier. When little, baby just comes along with everything and when older, the older one should be mature enough to understand that they need to just come along to things for their younger brother. Now that they are older (6&11), we often do separate things with them on some days, but that’s actually quite nice. It means they get lots of one-to-one time with both of us.

As for raising boys, of my two, ds is by far the easiest and most laidback!
