what do you think is the best age difference between children? we have a 2 yearold, wondering wat time is best

Question

for another one....

Answer 1

I think that 2 to 3 years is a good difference. The first is old enough to "help out" and be maybe even be potty trained. But they are not too much older that they don't want to play or entertain the new baby.

Answer 2

I don't think there is a good answer to that. All age gaps have their pros and cons. My first 2 were a year and 9 days apart. They did everything together...one was a boy, the other a girl. They are now 9 and 8 and are the best of friends. We can all play games together now that they are older and it worked out great. Now my 9 year old is 8 years older than his baby brother. He does play with him (like peekaboo) which helps me get things done around the house but it doesn't last long. He can't go outside and play with his brother like he does with his sister and his baby brother doesn't really understand yet the whole sharing of toys so it gets difficult. But as a whole my family is very close and we work and play nicely together!

Answer 3

I think 2 years is a good age difference. My children are two years apart and get along very well. There isn't so much of a difference that they don't like the same things, yet one was out of diapers by the time the other was born.

Answer 4

You have 2 choices there. Have them quick and get it done! Then it is just a constant stream of up during the night, changing nappies, making bottles, etc.

Or

We had ours 4 1/2 years apart which is a nice gap. Our older daughter is a second mother to the boy. They are 5 and 9 now which is a great age!

Cheers!

Answer 5

3-4 years.

Answer 6

Now! Well I have one sister that's a year older than me and another one that's 2 years younger than me, and they're both my best freinds ever. Because they're so close to me age-wise, I can always talk to them about all my problems and we've always been there for each other. I think that's one of the biggest gifts parents can give their children- not just another brother or sister, but a best friend as well.

Answer 7

My first two were 5 years apart...it was difficult on the older girl at first, having become used to being an only child.

My second and third were 2 years apart. They're still best friends (22 and 20) but used to bicker a lot when they were younger.

Maybe three or four years apart is better...so you better get busy...

Answer 8

3 or 4 years is good. I have 6 year old twins and a 2 year old and the twins are really good with my 2 year old. If I had had a singleton then another singleton I would have had them 3 years apart. So in your case I would start working on the next one now it may take a few months :)

Answer 9

about 3 to 4 years difference.

Answer 10

soon because i have two yonger brothers. I'm 18 right now and my frist younger brother is 16, we get long a lot better than my second youngest brother since he's four years younger. So we have nothing in common unlike me and S(16). S and I actually have stuff in common and we talk more and hang out. Really don't want to wait a lot longer because to many years apart they might not get along as well with each other.
Good luck with your choice.
