[quote=Anonymous]I have two daughters 25 months apart and a boy 3 years and 4 months younger than my second. We were overwhelmed with the first 2 for the first 2-3 years and that’s why we waited.

3 years later I wish I had gone for the third a year earlier because the difference between an 8-6 and 3 year old is huge and probably compounded by the gender differences. 
As of now, my first two are besties abs are always together and do all the same things. They boy is excluded from 80% of their games and I don’t force his sisters to play with him.

Things are slowly getting better and the older girls are including their brother a little more now that he is becoming more patient and can communicate a little better.

We are easygoing (I think), but we do like schedules and are strict with sleep (3 exhausted kids are hard to handle). We also prioritize activities and sports so my daughters are busy.

Overall I love having my 3, but I think that a smaller age gap would have been better in the long run.[/quote]
