My older sister and I are a little over a year apart and it was awful growing up. All we did was argue and fight. In high school we were in a lot of the same classes and she would steal my homework and turn it in as hers. She tried to make my life hell in school. We never got along until we graduated school.
My younger sister and I are 5 years apart and have always gotten along really well
My younger brother and I are 8 years apart and he is just the best guy and we have never had an argument.
That is just my personal life experience. I will never choose to have children less than 2 years apart in age.

I am 25 going on 26 my brother is 24 and my sister is 23 we were all very close growing up and always had eachother's backs but if you are hopping for not so much fighting I am sorry it will happen anyway LOL. My sister and I tried to kill eachother more then once but now that we are all adults we are very close. I say go for it if you feel you can handle that many so close together because if you ask my mother she says she wouldn't have done it any other way. I have a 1 1/2 year old and am 20 weeks pregnant with our second child so they are going to be 2 years apart and I don't know yet how they are going to be growing up I hope though that they will be close though I know they are going to fight LOL. I hope this helps and answered your question the way you wanted.

Hi first of all i totally agree with you on the whole age thing because i have a daughter whos 15 months old and im getting married in july and right after than i want to start trying for my second child because i have been around kids far apart and all they seem to do is argue and fight lol My sister is 3 years older than me and growing up we hated each other and always fought and stuff but then i have a brother only a year and half younger and we get along great and always have so right there kinda gives you an idea...but anyways to get to your question my cousin has 3 kids 2 girls and a boy and she had them all within 2 years! Her oldest was born in August of 2004 then her middle one was born in May of 2005 and her youngest one was born in June of 2006! Everyone thinks she has it hard and shes in the same position as you with a house and a stay at home mom and but her kids get along great and the 2 oldest ones help her out with the baby she said shes glad she had them all so close now they can grow up together, Im not telling you what to do but IF I WAS IN YOUR POSITION i would probably try soon too because like you said you want them all close together so they get along better the only reason i would say not for people to have their kids close together like a con is because it takes time for womens bodies to heal after they have kids and honestly my cousin for her having her kids so close like that you would think her body would be all messed up but shes healthy and so are all of her kids. And you said your youngest daughter is already nine months old so your body should be just fine... But sorry to maybe go on and on lol I just wanted to give you my opinion but i totally agree with you best of luck with everything!

My daughters are 18 months apart and I think its great, they are close enough in age that they have a lot in common and can relate to each other. My sister is 6 years older than me and other than living in the same house we didn't do much together because of the age difference, if you think you can handle having another one this soon I say go for it. Regardless of age kids will fight, that's part of growing up!

My kids are two years apart. For me that was the perfect gap, because my brothers and I are all two years apart and it was good for us. We all got along during the first part of childhood. Then as we came to teen's it was only two would get along, while the other did their own thing. But it was always swapping and changing, who had more in common with who. But by the time the boys were in their mid-teens we all got along great, except for the occasional fight over the stereo or movies etc. And because we are all so close we relate to so much with each other. As we generally like the same sort of things.
But do what you feel is right for you and your family. If you feel you are ready then go for it.
