Children Close in Age » Group


Giving your child a brother or sister can be one of the best gifts you can give to your first born, but for people that have their children very close in age, the "gift" aspect of it does become apparent for a number of years!!! This is a public forum for parents of these close-in-age children to vent, share their trials, tribulations and advice.

Hello my name is Leanne i have 3 children. I have 2 girls 3yr & 1yr old and a newborn boy of 2 wks old. I think having them close in age is better for them, they learn to share and play alot better than kids that seem to have 4 or 5 yrs between them.(thats what i have found anyway) If anyone would be interested in having a chat you are more than welcome

13 months

by tieylaComment Published at 02:4402:440 comments0 comments10 Visits10 VisitsReport
I have a boy memphis and a girl trinty 13 months apart. Some days i thought i was crazy for having them so close but as they are getting older 4 & 3 i feel that having them 13 month apart has paid off they are starting to role play together and they help each other out all the time. The only problem is that they love to gang up against mummy. If one is in time out the other goes and sits in time out to keep each other company. My husband and i are planning two more children and will have them close as well.

Daughter is 18 months, son is 4 months....and I'm 7 weeks pregnant.

I just found out about a week ago that I'm pregnant AGAIN!  This is baby #3, whose due date happens to fall exactly on my son's first birthday.  I haven't told our families yet but they're going to go nuts when they find out.  Samara and Elijah were born 13 months and 13 days apart, both by cesarean; also, since my OB-GYN typically does c-sections a little early - around 38 or 39 weeks - this baby will actually be born a week or two BEFORE Elijah's first birthday.  I'm planning on getting my tubes tied while they're in there.  lol  I love my kids, but three in two years is PLENTY!!  Now if I can just figure out how this keeps happening....  ;)

The girls have started enjoying each others company now, 6 months and 21 months, my big bub loves to make baby smile and laugh, its soooo cute seeing them  "play" together.

My 2 angels

Hi
I have 2 boys. Jaidan is 2 1/2 and Chase is 1 1/2. They are close. 14 months apart. They get along great. Chase follows Jaidan and copies everything he does. Which is good as Jaidan has been teaching him animals and to say please and thankyou.  They are both good, easy kids. They entertain eachother and play together. Jaidan is always telling Chase not to do things he shouldnt be (touching the presents under the tree) or the latest was telling chase the fire was HOT!
They hold hands when we are out and give eachother lots of kisses and cuddles. I find them sleeping in the same bed some nights. They adore eachother and its so cute.
Here are some of my favourite pics

They might as well be twins...

I have 3 kids. Isaiah (3), Brenly (2), & Makena (7 mo.).  Isaiah & Brenly are 13 months apart.  They might as well be twins.  They are always playing together & they fight like dogs & cats!!  He takes the lead most of time bossing her around & demanding that she plays with him.  He talks for her too, which is really annoying! 

Brenly & Makena are 18 months apart.  Brenly has just taken an interest in her, probably because she is crawling now.  I tried to get Brenly to say Makena it was funny!!  It went like this, "say Ma-ken-a," and she would say "Ba-by."  She is right Makena is a baby!  HaHa  It is so hard to get that girl to say anything!  I was worried about Makena bonding with them because they are already so close & she seems like an outsider but the girls will sharing a room after we move so there will be plenty of bonding time then!

We are all done none, no more kids for us!!  It is hard right now, but I believe that if we raise them right that when they are older they will take of each other!!

My girls

My girls are 21 months apart and there are both pros and cons to the deal. Cons - fighting, oh the fighting lol and  they "steal" each other's friends and clothes (I am dreading the days when it will be boyfriends). Pros - they always have someone to talk to, play with and lean on  I am glad they ar closer apart rather than further. I am now contemplating pregnancy at the moment and wondering if the distance will be a downfall.

by mandymum3Comment Published at 00:1100:110 comments0 comments120 Visits120 VisitsReport

my two youngest are 14 months apart. its the same amount of work having 2 bubs or 1 or possibly 3 or 4!!!! i didnt even know i was pregnant till 23 weeks woops, i dont get big when im pregnant so i had know idea until she started kicking regually!!! and considering maddy came into the world at 33 1/2 weeks it was one very quick pregnancy the two littlies dont do very much together yet, but i think they will be great friends. i just love every thing about having lots of kids exept when i have to go shopping, or picking the big kids up from school... why do they always fall asleep just near school pick up time???!!!
