[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Curious if you feel that age gap makes a difference?  My first two are four years apart and we started young enough to have a similar age gap with our third. So like 3 kids 4 or so years apart. In theory that would spread out the activities since one would be in college when the others are in middle school. Anyway it sounds tough, we are leaning towards just being done but wish we could make it work. [/quote]

I posted most recently at 7:53 and at this stage in life it would help to have more spacing. With 8 years between your oldest and youngest, the youngest’s activities probably won’t get as involved until the oldest can drive. But, you can’t predict the future. Your kids may decide they’re not interested or be in a private school with ample ec opportunities. One spouse may have a job change or decide to scale back, etc.

Mine are in quick succession which makes everything at once. We got a “late” start and it’s just how things worked out. I wouldn’t have based whether to have a third on what future schedules may look. It’s a good thing we didn’t because like our current life situation is way different than it was 10 years ago.
