Both me and James have older sisters and we weren't close to them... I'm getting close to mine but there is still ALOT of distance and hurt between us. We swore up and down we would never had a large age gap between kids, and we would have more then two!
I think if it's important for you (anyone) to have one on one time with your kids, young and old, you'll make that happen. I'm so going to dump the two kids on James and take one for a special time with just mommy. It makes those times even more special, ya know? It's totally doable.
It's crazy in the early years but I know that it will pay off (and it of course has already in certain ways). Another thing is being here with them now as a SAHM. I have that ability to know and I can give that too all my babies and send them to school and then get a job if need be, or if I want. But who's to say that can happen in five years when I'm starting from "new" again.
Not to sure if I'm making any sense but those are our thoughts as to why having children close in age works for us. Just something more for people to think about. It's such a personal decision for sure!
