[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First at 35 1/2. Started trying for second at 36 1/2. Tried for a year, then did IVF. Second and last baby at 38 1/2.[/quote] I personally think the age gap of 3 years is too much. I would have preferred them to be closer in age. Too much competition when the oldest remembers when the second ruined their life. [/quote] Are your kids still young? The close in age ones are the ones where the constant comparisons and competitiveness can be a real problem. OP, just time it so they are at least 2 school grades apart, preferably 3 or 4. Having them in back to back grades going all the way through is rough.[/quote]
