[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of hate on this thread. [b]I don't think anyone plans kids 10 years apart[/b], so those that do have very painful stories.

I have a 10 year and potentially 4+ year age gap between #1 and #2 and #2 and #3.

1st was an abusive boyfriend that convinced me it was "safe" for us to have unprotected sex. It wasn't. Plan B also failed. He eventually was convicted of DV after I tried to make it work for 4 years.

Eventually I met my husband but we had to wait after getting married because his job moved him away. So our kids are 10 years apart. They absolutely love each other and it's great for us, we have a moody teenager that would rather babysit than hang out with us.

#3 is unknown at this point. After losing many pregnancies and much pain there is no end in sight to our unexplained infertility.[/quote]

I"m sorry about the fertility issues, PP. I would just note, re: the bold, that OP presented a hypothetical where someone plans three kids on this 10-year perfect schedule. It's a thought exercise rather than a realistic thing. Not intended to be about real world issues that end up spacing out children in various ways whichmay or may not be out of real people's real control. [/quote]
