[quote=Anonymous]My kids are almost 5 years apart and I know plenty of others like them. And in my case and at least some of the others I know, secondary infertility was part of the story. There are a lot of good aspects to this age difference - the older one can help out, jealousy/sibling rivalry is a lot less fraught, only one set of diapers at a time! And in many ways I have parented both my kids as onlies during important periods of their lives. It's probably not what I would have chosen, but now that we're here I see mostly good things. And as adults, 5 years is just a blip. Mine are now teenage boys (19/15) and even at this point, the age difference seems fairly irrelevant. Good luck OP, I know how hard this is.[/quote]
