Best Age difference between kids? 2/12 or 3/12?

Question

I have a 15 month old and were thinking about #2 BUT i was wondering what the best age difference would be eather 2 1/2 oe 3 1/2 yrs ?

Answer 1

2 1/2 would be the best. When they get to high school, they can help each other out for a few years. My sister and I are 2 yrs. apart, and I really enjoy having her around and her being so close to me.

Answer 2

My son is going to be 2 and a half next month .. Around the end of August we are going to start trying for number 2. I think it will be perfect for us because we have been able to do many things with our son that I think would be more difficult to do with 2 children. We also look forward to more things by the time our number 2 will be here.

Answer 3

My son  just turned 2 and that's when I stopped taking my BC pills..we want baby #2 and we don't want the 2 kids to be too far apart. I'm 21 and I have a brother who is 22..and we're like best friends!  My little sister is 15 and we're not so close. We fought alot when we were young.  So, keep the ages as close as possible!  I loved having a brother close in age growing up! We did everything together.

Answer 4

2 and a half because the closer the age the more connection they will have. it is better to have a 2 year old and a 3 year old then a 15 year old and a 1 year old. they look for each other.

Answer 5

3 1/2 yrs. in between because it sort of give you a break in between not only when they are little but also when they older you don't wanna try to send two kids the prom at once or start college at the same time and lots of other stuff all of my kids (i have 4) are 3 1/2 yrs. apart my oldest is 18 and my youngest is 7.trust me it works out better this way!...good luck

Answer 6

2 1/2 that is what my kids are and i love it!~

Answer 7

well i know me and my oldest sister is a year apart and we don't get along at all. but on the other hand i have another sister 4 years apart and we love each other to death so i would say the 3 and a half or four

Answer 8

I just had my 2nd 2 weeks before my 1st turned 4-I know many people do it and obviously survive but I think the stress level would have been so much higher if he was any younger, because now he is able to do some things on his own (like go potty!) while I'm nursing or changing the baby. The downside is they most likely won't be playmates.

Answer 9

well from experience i had my daughter when my step daughter was 3 1/2 and it was CRAZY i had the hardest time with her trying to pick the baby up, wanting to wear the babies clothes, i breast fed and she wanted to be up in my lap when the baby was latched on. i know she was curious but it was difficult. she also tried acting like the baby saying she wanted to wear diapers. so i hope that is a little bit of help.

Answer 10

i would say 2 1/2 because me and my brothers are 4 years apart and when we were young we would fight a lot...the closer tehy are together in age the better because they can learn things together n stuff like that you know almost as if they were twins....then again thats just my opinion and don't know if what i said is 100% correct...just my theory.

Answer 11

20 years. think about it, you'll get a chance to have just one more pregnancy before menopause and will enjoy the effects.
