Children Close in Age

hi i have an 8 year old a 6 year old (who was born 24mths and one day after his sister, i went into labour at her birthday party) a 5 year old (who was born 20 months after my first son) a 3 yr old ( who was born 19 mths after my second son) and an 19mth old daughter (who was born 21 mths after my second daughter) my kids all get along great except for when they want their own time. My 8 yr old tends to act like the mother hen fussing over them my 6 yr old tends to be the protecter who makes all the knee scrapes better until mum gets there, my 5 yr old tends to play the negotiater where he'll have the final say on the game thats played to stop arguments, my 3 yr old tends to think shes the beauty and needs to be waited on hand and foot and my 19 mth old tends to like to wreak havok on any game so that she is involved. They have great imaginations together and by themselves. I only hope that i'm lucky enough to have them stay that way , my 8 yr old is starting to break away to do her hair and make jewellery whiich the others are to little for as she says .

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

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.

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....  ;)

hi there im 22 weeks pregnant and when my new bub will be born there will be 15 months apart  this is my 3rd bub and theres 3 yrs cap between my first and second one. is it hard having kids so close 

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.

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

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 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.

wow this hardly ever happens, both the bubs are asleep. amazing. Im having a cuppa and tottally loving it!
