[quote=Anonymous]here's the way i see the tradeoff--have two very close in age and a third a few years behind them. If you have them close together, it will be harder at the start because the toddler/infant combo is a lot of work BUT it will be a little easier once you hit 2/3 with the younger one. A 3 and 5 year old can play together easily and that takes a huge load off you. a 3 and 8year old have a lot less in common which means the 3 year old will more often be looking to you to entertain him/her. Also kids only 1-2 years apart are more likely to be at the same stage of life, so you'll have longer where you are only doing ONE drop off--day care or school not daycare AND school. Also more likely to be able to bring them both to swimming, gymnastics, whatever.[/quote]
