[quote=Anonymous]Why are you sad about this? Your children will have the benefits of only children, but the lifelong companionship of siblings. When I married DH at 23, I told him I preferred to have children at 25, 30 and 35, if life permitted. At 30, so far my wishes have been fulfilled. I cannot quite understand why mothers would want to have their children 2 years apart, unless it was an "advanced maternal age" thing or to adequately meet the needs of a demanding career. For sibling jealousy, parental fatigue, baby-related expenditure, 2 years is the worst gap. Spacing your children will allow you to enjoy every single minute of their lives. I love the baby stage, and could not enjoy this if DC1 was younger and needed me for every little thing. As it is, he goes to Kindergarten, and I get to spend time with my darling girl.[/quote]
