[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately your mistake was having them so far apart in age. Hopefully you will feel that less acutely as time goes on. I agree this would have my very much questioning my marriage though [/quote]

This I think is a huge part of it. [b]He probably saw how "freeing" a 5 year-old is and then he had to start all over. [/b]It might have been a bit less painful if they were closer in age.

OP, could you have the grandparents watch one child at a time? Just a little break from two from time to time might help.[/quote]

This could be part of it. I really wanted my second, and I felt this way.

That said it's a bit cruel to call it a mistake. Maybe they had secondary infertility. Maybe they couldn't afford two in day care simultaneously. Maybe they were dealing with other life stuff, like a sick parent, and didn't have the bandwidth for another baby. It's hitting below the belt to tell people they timed their kids wrong. I would have loved a smaller age gap myself.[/quote]
