How many kids do you have? what are they're ages? How far apart in age are they? What would be your ideal age gap if you could choose? I have 2 little girls they are 2 1/2 years and 13 months. my little girls are 20 months apart and i think although it is very hard i think it will be better as they get older. What do you think?

I have a daughter a son and one on the way. My daughter and son are 3 1/2 years apart and my son and the new baby will be just about exactly 3 years apart. I think 3 years is a good gap, my brother and I are 3 years apart and so are my husband and his brother.

I only have 1 baby girl for the moment, she's a little over 10 months old & i think i would like to try for a 2nd baby once she's turned 1! Of course there's no guarantee it'll happen right away, my daughter took quite a few years to conceive as it was. I think if we got pregnant right away it would be about 22 - 24 months different which would work out well for us i think. We'll just have to wait & see what happens i guess!

I have two sets of stairs steps. The first three children that are stair steps, the eldest is 17 years old. Then the last four children are the next stair steps and the youngest is 6 years old. By the first time the first set of stair steps were all in school, I started all over again. LOL I didn't plan it that way but I guess it was meant to be. :) So...just in case I am a bit confusing there...I have seven children.

No wife so no children. but I will prefer only 2, may be boy or girl child, no matter for me. I think two is sufficient. Let us contribute for population also..ok. We have enough money it does not mean that we should have lot of children. If money is more, we should donate to any organisation which is working for human being. Gape between your two babies is very less, nothing can be done now. There should have been proper planning. Wait for at least one year to get rid off hard time.

I have two daughters 17 and 15; they are 21 months apart in age; I wanted a little more space, but ok, this is how it went. They can hate each other too, but there is a kinship and love between them too since they have been through a lot.

Good Morning, We have three children The oldest 27, then 25, and the youngest 9. The 2 oldest were almost exactly 2 years apart. They are very close and still consider each other to be best friends. My siblings were alot older than me and we have nothing in common. I think close together is the way to go.
