[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think the best age gap is 4-5 years, and never more than two kids. That way each kid gets to experience being the focus of their parents attention, there is minimal sibling rivalry, they have the benefit of a sibling while also being forced to develop independent social skills, you don’t have to pay for their college tuition simultaneously. Just my two cents.[/quote] This is exactly what bred sibling rivalry in two families I know. Kid 1 is four, used to individual attention (read: spoiling), and then gets shunted aside for the baby. Teaching a kid to expect that level of individual attention just to take it away is mean. [/quote] if you're "shunting aside" a child of ANY age for a new baby...yeah, you're going to have issues.[/quote]
