How many years in between having kids is the best?

Question

i want to have kids sometime and my sister has a new baby and a two yr old and she seems overwhelmed. im wondering how many kids is the best as well as how many yrs in between?

Answer 1

My kids are 10 days shy of being 16 months apart. They are best friends! It was a little overwhelming at first, but  mostly during the day after my husband went back to work after the second was born.  Basically the difference in age depends on what you can handle and what you feel you children can handle. It's been difficult potty training until now and my second is starting to potty train, but other than that I think it is something that you and your husband need to discuss and it's kinda something that you will know you are ready for. And if by accident you get pregnant with your second when your first is 6 months old (like me), then just keep in mind that God never gives you more than you can handle! I didn't really give you a straight answer, but hopefully you can make your own conclusion based on my answer. Good luck! =)

Answer 2

My kids are 3 years apart and i think it's perfect.  They're still very close but yet they are seperate and i got to enjoy both ages.

Answer 3

Though it may be overwhelming, I think it is best to have children that are 1-3 years apart [close in age]. I think that it is better and easier for children to grow up when theyare closer in age and that they build stronger and closer relationships... especially when they get older. For example, my sister nd i are 8 years apart and don't really get along all that great. And on the other hand, my big brother and sister are a year apart and closer than ever!

Answer 4

I think the closer the better.  Mine are 13 and 19 months apart and it is so nice.  I would have done them all a year apart if I could have.

Answer 5

i'd say about three, so that one will be a junior in high school when the other is a freshman, and do that if ur gonna have 3 kids, so then it's like a chain, but also so that the kid who's a freshman will have someone there for him/her. and also, it works for middle school, when one's in 8th, the other is in 6th, i think it'd work out nicely

Answer 6

it all depends on how u can handle it, but most doctors stated, in order to have a better and healthier pregnancy for u n baby, anywhere between 18months to 23months months, i myself I think it should be anywhere between 2-3yrs old, or the real=at least make sure ur first child is out of diapers=potty train before u proceed to have another one.  Myself was 19yrs with first son, and 6yrs later expecting my girl in oct
