[quote=Anonymous]We have two children, with a 6yr age gap. The youngest is 2yo the oldest is 8yo. It’s been pretty smooth sailing. The oldest enjoys being a big sister, and the younger adores her big sister. I feel like we have avoided typical sibling rivalry so far because of the age gap. Thinking about a third and definitely final child. I worry about it becoming more of a burden on my oldest. That as someone who had all the benefits of being a singleton for the first 6yrs is she really going to be ok in the long run with two younger siblings to share attention with? On the other hand, she’s older every day and off in her own world and friends and still actively asks for another sibling even when I try to talk with her about the amount of increased work it would be on her parents and so less time and attention for her. I feel like it is much more common for families of three with a gap to have had two kids close together and then a “bonus” kid 4-5 years later...[/quote]
