Children spacing

I can tell you the benefits of having them closer together…my youngest was born exactly 3 years and 19 days after my oldest. My middle son was born 13 months and 3 days after the oldest. My 3 kids were all born within 3 years. They were all in diapers together, the two oldest learned a lot of things at the same time. My boys (my oldest two) are extremely close. Once I got my youngest out of diapers I never have to buy them again…yeah!! Since they’re all close in age then can basically do the same kind of things (with some exceptions for the oldest). The boys wear the same size clothes and like the same toys.

Now the down side…they fight…a lot. I never got the chance to devote myself fully to just one baby at a time. My oldest was 5 months old when I found out the next one was on the way. I feel like I cheated them out of their “baby days”. Sometimes I wish that things would of happened differently and they would be farther apart but I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Do what you want, when you’re ready you’ll know. My best friend has 3 kids…the oldest is 11, the middle one is 9 and the youngest is only 3. You’re the mother, have them when you think you’re ready.
