Does anyone have children far apart in age?

My 3 children will be 11 and a half, 9 and 7 when this baby is born... the way I see it is, with older children around, it cuts the chances of sibling rivalry, and you get more help around the house while you're looking after LO!!! :haha: My 3 are really looking forward to having a baby, in a way Im glad theres a bigger gap, coz I think they'll all enjoy the experience of LO growin up more!

You certainy sound like your head is well screwed on, so I'm sure you'll figure out whats going to be best for you personally!
 
Hi hun, I don't have experience of a huge gap myself (currently pregnant so will have 2 under 18 months!) but I was 9 when my sister came along and then another 2 siblings in quick succession. It was brilliant, I loved them to absolute pieces and was a second mom to them for sure. The relationship I have with them now is brilliant too now they are older. I think it helped my mom too that there was an extra pair of hands available (not to mention that I was so much better at dealing with sick than her so that turned out to be my job!!)

PLus, it had the added bonus of making me realise just how hard it is to have a baby as I was old enough to see what was going on around me, so I was 28 before having my first - best contraception ever!! haha x x x
