[quote=Anonymous]I honestly believe that whatever age gap you get will turn out to be the best one for your family because it’s what you get used to. Plus, these are your kids - I can’t imagine having any different kids!

That being said, I had two under two. Yes, it was exhausting and stressful in the beginning, but there were benefits. My 20-month-old didn’t care about the new baby at all so there was very little sibling rivalry. We got really good at conveyor belt diaper changes and they became a breeze. By the time number 1 outgrew something, it wasn’t too long before number 2 was ready for it which helped us keep clutter and storage minimized.

I also didn’t have to worry about school drop-off/pick-up or other schedules. We ran our own ship which meant everybody got full naps in their cribs/beds when they needed them. I was a bit of a nap zealot so that meant a lot to me. Number 1 didn’t start any preschool until number 2 was 18 months and even that was not mandatory so we could skip if somebody was having a bad day.

Now they are 4 & 5.5 and are best friends who play really well together. [/quote]
