[quote=Anonymous]God that would be hell.

I appreciate the theory of how interesting or cool that could be as you would have time to "recover" - the problem is in practice - that would SUCK.  You would have to go through the sleepless nights again and again - ahhhh!!!

You would have none of the joy of having kids be close in age and play together.  You can't do hand me downs, you can't actually have fun with them all together - the ages are so different that they all have different needs and wants.  I suppose the 44 yr old would be almost like a mom to the 24 yr old.  I think it would be so awful for the kids in that instead of sibling relationships, they would have unidentified relationships with their siblings - 10 years is A whole lotta years to be separated by!

In an ideal world, I would love to have triplets or twins without the work - get it over with and have them grow up together - literally :)  Once you milestones, you keep going on for more.  Or at least closer in age of 1 year apart.  In my mind, the worst case scenario is having the too far apart in ages v closest in ages.  For me, having them all together means I get a lot to enjoy at the same time (and if it's rough, I'm one and done!).[/quote]
