What are the age differences between your children and why?

Question

Any regrets or second thoughts...

Answer 1

Well, I don't have any kids, but the age gap between me and my siblings is pretty odd.

I have an older brother, who's 22
Then there's me, 18
Then my little sister who's 8
Then another little sister who's 6

Weird, huh?
But we all get along fairly well, and I don't think my parents have any regrets.

Answer 2

the age difference between my 2 daughters is 2 yrs 9 months and 1 week. My oldest turns three on the 25th of this month and my youngest is 7 weeks. The age gap is because we wanted to wait at least 2 yrs before having another child and thats how long it took until I conceived my 2nd daughter. And I have NO regrets...those 2 little girls were the best thing to ever happen to me and I would NOT change anything about them.

Answer 3

Between my first 2 there is 3 yrs 8 months
Between my 2nd and 3rd there is 3 yrs 3 months
Between my 3rd and 4th there is 3 years 8 months
and between my 4th and 5th (due in Oct) approx. 4 yrs 2 months

My kids are 14, 10, 7, and 4 on Friday. No regrets at all! My oldest girls are a great a help with the youngest 2 and love to babysit. They all get along great :)

Answer 4

My oldest will be 13 when my third is born. My middle child just turned 6 in June so there will be about 6.5 years between each. I didn't plan it this way because I never thought I'd have more than 1. On the plus side my oldest is a big help around the house when she wants to be and she can watch her little brother. On the con side I'm going to have a teenager and a newborn in the house at the same time, hope I can hold onto my sanity lol.

Answer 5

My children are 2yrs and 7months apart. (daughter now 5yrs2mths son 2yrs6mths) I love the age gap but am glad it wasn't any closer as that would have been very hard. I am still trying to convince hubby to start TTC no.3 as I would like no more than 4yrs between the 2nd and 3rd so the 3rd still has someone at home to play with before no 2 goes to school.
I don't regret having the 2 and a half year gap, its perfect and they are great mates and play together everyday regardless of that fact they are boy/girl.

Answer 6

2 years, 2 min, 14 months.
My kids are 4, twins that are almost 2, and 6 months. Why? just meant to be, I guess. I didn't expect to have twins and the last was a suprise as well.
No regrets, I love them dearly and they have forced me to stay at home for my family. I was struggling making the decision when I just had one child. So, despite the difficult days, I wouldn't have done it any different.

Answer 7

I wanted the standard 2 year gap between my kids. Various reasons really, but that's also the gap between my brother and I so it seems normal to me.
But we can't get pregnant this time and even if I do there is going to be a 4 year gap between my kids - I didn't want it that way, but we have no choice.
If I had of known I would have started trying for number 2 on the way home from the hospital!

Answer 8

Boy 38, then girl 36 two years between..Then girl 28. 7 1/2 years later we decided we wanted another, no regrets,but the last one is spoiled rotten by older brother and sister. When people ask if I have any children, I tell them yes, I have three, one of each. A boy then a girl and then a Jennifer, the spoiled one is in a class of her own. LOL........#########

Answer 9

My children are 7 years apart. I wish they were closer in age but no regrets or second thoughts. I tried for them to be closer in age, it just didnt happen that way.

Answer 10

Oldest daughter is 35...middle one is 28...youngest is 26. Divorced the first one's father and waited a few years to remarry. Then waited to make sure the 2nd marriage was the real thing. It was..thus the other two were born!! No..no regrets or 2nd thoughts.My only disappointment is that they don't get along with each other..but that's their problem.
