I wanted 2 years but unless our financial situation changes we won't have another. It could be 5 years before we consider another but money must change first.
Mine are 24, almost 15, 12 and 17 months. So quite large age gaps.
DS1 is from my previous relationship, I left due to my partner being abusive. So the big gap between DS1 & DS2 is down to not having a decent man lol!
Then met DH and had DSs 2 & 3, there's 27 months between them.
We didnt intend to have anymore but in 2010 DH forgot to pull out and I ended up pregnant ( DSs were 21, 11 & 9), sadly I miscarried, we tried again and sadly lost our angel Archie. We decided to try again and got our gorgeous raindow (when she was born DH was 48, I was 40, DS1 was 22, DS2 was 13 and DS3 was 11).
We've had a few rude/intrusive comments/questions. It was quite common when I was having her for doctors to ask (when they'd seen my pregnancy history) to ask if she was DHs first (clearly had to be a new relationship). We just tell people she's our midlife crisis, we realised our children were growing up and we'd have to speak to each other, it was either a baby or a sports car so we opted for a baby. It shuts people up
She is by far the best thing that could have happened to our family, we all adore her, her big brothers worship her and will do anything for her.
Sorry for the essay about our family with hig age gaps.
