[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's too much of an age difference for your 10yre old to have a built-in playmate/decrease the lonely factor.

In fact, your 10 yr old might resent the baby a bit. It'll throw a huge monkey-wrench into your relatively easy going , carefree lifestyle.
Just a thought.[/quote]

Most people I know with age gaps either for themselves or their own kids experience a lot of resentment. [/quote]

Personally, I love age gaps! I think that having 2-3 kids in close succession makes for stressed out moms and families. You miss out on so much and don't get to appreciate each child individually. There is a lot of research done that siblings with gaps end up being more successful because they benefit from more individual attention from their parents. Also, I could not do 3 teenagers at the same time, while going through menopause!! Or 3 college bills at the same time.

OP, go for your second baby! The things worth having in life are often difficult. One should aspire to live a life without regrets. Do it now so that you don't end up having this empty feeling for the rest of your life. [/quote]
