Re:Age Gaps
By izzzyxx 3 Years, 2 Months Ago
The age gaps in my family are:
Analise 21,
Kyle's 19,
Isabella[me]16,
Megan 16,
Teagan, a month.

Then there's my sister's kids,
Alissa Lynn is 3.
Kyler James is 4 months,
so they're three years apart,

I think three years is a perfect age gap.

I don't think that there is a set "perfect" age gap between children. It's different for everyone.

My son Riley was 23 months old when my daughter Ella was born so they are fairly close in age.
Ella is now 9 months old and I'm 7 months pregnant with triplets so her and the new babies will be extremely close in age.
We didn't exactly plan to get pregnant again this soon, but that's okay. Sometimes life's greatest gifts are unexpected and unplanned!

As for my brothers and sisters and I, our age differences are:
Dianna 28
Niki 26
Jenn 25
Dustin 23
My twin sister Brittany and I are 22
Kevin 20
and Machaela is 7. (She wasn't planned either haha)

Well, I am 17 and my brother Dylan, is 14, so that's 3 years. My parents are adopting a 2 year old--Jedyn (Jayden) for me that's a 15 year age gap. Ilike it though because I can help out with him and get to see and remember him as a baby, it's kinda neat!

Well I'm going to talk about my opinion of having 5 younger siblings & our age gaps. My parents never planned to have 6 kids but they love it now! I love it too!

The ages from me to the youngest of us: 21, 18, 16, 10, 4 & 1! And I can tell you that these age gaps are wonderful! My mom & dad got to enjoy us older three & pay attention to us & show us how to behave & help. So when the 10 year old was first born we were all very helpful! Then the rest came! We help oput with each other & get along for the most part! We have fun & enjoy each other's company & look out for each other. We are a very close knit family! I love having a little brother who is only a year old! It's so fun!

I work with children also & can tell you that a lot of people with kids really close in age are always having a harder time financially, mentally & physically! They are way more on the go & mom's do more than the dad's do...of course so they're the onesrunning after 3 or 4 kids all about the same mentality, wanting the same things, crying about the same things, getting into the same things all at once! Seriously it's more fun to have the more spaced out! I've watched it & grown up in it! Is is the way I'm going to go!

Just some thoughts! Some of you are probably thinking my parents are crazy for having 6 kids...but they love it & all of us kids love it & wouldn't have it any other way! It's been a blast! Never a dull moment...but not always too hectic either!
