Question

What is a good age difference to have kids? I have a son who just turned two and I want another child?

Answer 1

I would say 2-3 years apart because then they will still hang out and have each others back! Hope i helped Cleiterman

Answer 2

right now is perfect me and my lil' sis are only 3 years apart and my mom loves it I say a good age dif. is 2-3 yrs. apart

Answer 3

Go get busy.  2-3 years is a nice age difference.  They still like to play together and can help each other out in life.

Answer 4

2-3 years apart is good because you want to have children close enough to hang out and do stuff together, 5 years is too much of a gap because think about it..when the child is 11, your oldest will be 16 and will want to go out and drive and hang out with friends, at least if they were closer in age like 14 and 16 they will hang out and have each others back

Answer 5

My daughter is currently 6 months old! Her daddy is in Iraq right now and she will be 15 months old when he gets back...we are gonna start trying again when he gets back! Cause even if we do get lucky that first month, then our kids will still be at least 2 yrs apart! And I think 2-3 yrs is a great age difference! Hope I helped...

Answer 6

go head and have another now if your ready. so that they can grow up together

Answer 7

It has nothing to do with the children's age difference and everything to do with what type of mother you are. Are you easily frazzled? Do you have a bad temper? Are you a moody person? Do you expect your kids to follow your rules ? If you answered yes to any of these don't do it. As the mother of several children I can say I was a pretty horrible mother with the first two but then I completely changed as I worked really hard on chilling out, expecting messes, spreading the love around, having a good sense of humor, and my DH is my best friend so that made it easy and I have kids eighteen months apart as well as three years apart; they're both good.
