[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.

Thank you all for the advice. I will definitely try to let go and maybe think about a 3 to 3.5 year age gap. The reason I don't want a larger one was what my younger sibling is 5 years behind me and it wasn't a great relationship and our inability to do the same kinds of things definitely created hardships on my parents. I do have some time tho, so thanks.

And about the enrichment children have to our lives, thanks for your concern. Sincerely. But I just didn't want to wax poetic on how much I love my kid since my post was already so long. DS is a frickin' bundle of joy, even if a tiring one. When my day is horrible and long, I still love coming home to his pudgy, happy face.[/quote]

This is something you just can't predict. My brother and I are only 18 month apart but have never been close. We were rivalrous, had diffferent interests, and definitely created hardships for my parents because while we were in the same "stage" age-wise, we had nothing in common and constantly pulled them in separate directions. My two boys are a little over 3.5 years apart and they are extremely close, best friends, and despite the different stages, play together, support each other, and are as close as siblings could be. You just never know. But I do know that you have to be ready and in a good place mentally to be a good mom. I personally love the slightly bigger age gap. Good luck. [/quote]
