[quote=Anonymous]Congrats, OP! We also went through secondary infertility and have a six-year age gap between our kids, who are now in college and grad school. Your divide and conquer strategy worked for us. We always made sure that our younger child had a nap, even if that meant both parents didn't attend the older kid's games or events. I know that doesn't work for every family, but we found that having a well-rested younger sib made life easier. As the kids got older, we encouraged their shared interests in sports, which brought them closer together. We did a lot of ski vacations, bike rides, family tennis, beach trips, etc. Now, as young adults, they are good friends and support each other in all their interests and goals. Finally, one benefit of the age gap might be that as parents we were less likely to compare them to each other. HTH and best wishes to you! [/quote]
