[quote=Anonymous]Ours are 27 months apart and I feel it has been a really good age gap. It was hard in the beginning since our oldest was still so little himself (still slept in a crib, still wore diapers/not potty trained yet, still used a pacifier and sippy cup, etc) since it sometimes felt like we had 2 babies for the first few months. But now they are ages 5 and 3, play so well together, can do most of the same activities, have similar interests, etc. I think if we had a 3 year gap and they were ages 5 and 2 right now that would be much different as they probably wouldn’t have as many overlapping interests/abilities. However, nothing is guaranteed. I myself have siblings who are 3.5 years younger and 7 years younger and we got along fine as kids but weren’t that close as we were always at different stages growing up but I’m really close to both of them now that we’re all adults.

You never know if your kids will be close/play well together no matter the age gap though. It’s more about personality than age difference I think.[/quote]
