If you have children what is the age of your children or what is the distance in years in between each child? I have a 10 year old and have not been able to get pregnant again since and I dont see it happening any time soon. The way I see it I only have about 8 years left before my child now, is grown and on to college and to think I would have to start all over when he is about 11 or 12 just doesnt sound like a good plan. My children would be 12 to 13 years apart.

    13, 10........................1.............second marriage...new baby. It's GREAT. My big kids adore the baby.
  • My kiddo is 7 years old and I feel the same way you do. I want more kids but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I would like to have another before she's 10 but I'm not sure if that's in the cards for me. I wish you luck but trust me, you are not alone!

    My girls are 13 and 15. However, I am 9 years younger than my brother and 13 years younger than my sister. I always thought it was cool to have older siblings. We NEVER fought and they spoiled the heck out of me. LOL. When I was a teen, they were already out of the house, but, as I became an adult, we hung out more since we were all pretty much on the same "level".

    I have a 23 year old and an 11 year old, so my oldest daughter was 12 when I had my youngest. Honestly, if I would have waited one more year, and found out how hard having a 13 year old was, I wouldn't have had another..LOL
  • My children are 14,13,10,6, and 3 and I'm ready to have one more. It all depends on how you feel about it.

    I have 3 sons. They are each 22 months apart. 6, 4.5, and almost 3.

    Pretty good distance, b/c they still enjoy playing with each other.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Keep this in mind though you will be second for much longer, if that doesn't bother you than there's really no negative affect to having kids far apart. Just make sure you speak with your doctor first about risked based on age (idk you age).
    My boyfriend is 19 and his little sister just turned 5. The three of us have THE best time together plus he helped raise her.

    16 months. I wanted them close together so basically I could do the diaper, car seat, baby paraphernalia things at the same time. I only intended on having two. Plus I wanted them to be close.
  • My sons are five years and three months apart 11 and 6. I often tell people they are the best of friends and worst of enemies. But no one better mess with the other one cause they will stick up for eachother till there last breath.

    My children are 28, 24, 20, 13 and 10 all with the same hubby. The older ones are great babysitters for the younger when I needed them, however, they have moved on in their lives and are not much involved with the day to day life with the younger ones. I think that the age gap between the oldest and youngest is a bit large but I wouldn't change anything if I could have a do over.

    I have two boys ages 11 1/2 and 10. We wanted them to be at least 18 months apart. They are 18 months, 1 week and 5 days apart. ; )

    The distance between my kids are from first to second, 2 years, 6 month; from second to third and fourth 16 months. When I brought my twins home from the hospital my eldest was 18 days shy of his fourth birthday. :) I got them done QUICK!

    Now they are:
    9 1/2
    7
    5 1/2 (twins)
  • My little sister and I are 14 yrs apart.....my little brother and i are 20 years apart.....

    its a little awkward sometimes....
  • This wasn't planned (none of my children were "planned")...but I have an almost-22 month old and an 11 year old who are 3 days from being exactly a decade apart. I love the age difference and am finding it's MUCH better the second time around. I'm calmer and not freaking about about meeting milestones "on time" as much. :smile:
