So whats the age gap between your kids?

Those mainly with kids quite close in age - Is it hard? How old was LO before you found out you were PG again? What is/was routine like in your house?

I don't have two kids as you know, but having me and my sister so close together is what broke my mum and dad up.

there is 20 months between Charlie and Ethan and 23 months between Coby and Adam (i think, never been any good with Math!)

Charlie and Ethan were fine, both good babies apart from the milk allergy so i didnt find it hard atall, haveing them close together just seemed to work for me, i was already in baby mode with Charlie so it just carried on a bit longer from having Ethan. as they grew up together they became very close and it was lovely to see them running about and playing together.....they are 9 and 8 now and still very close, do everything together

As of yet i havent got in to a routine with Coby and Adam, Charlie and Ethan are still off school and Jase is still off work. im looking forward to Monday when they all go back and its just me and the boys, then i can get things sorted and make them fit in to MY rountine, i dont belive you should fit in around a babies routine, i think they should fit in to yours, some people think thats harsh but it works well for me, so im hoping it wont be hard this time round, fingers crossed it iwll be like it was on Charlie and Ethan.

Im hopeing Coby and Adam will grow up to be as close as Charlie and Ethan, Coby has really taken to Adam now and there is no jealously, at first Coby was very teary but now hes running about being his normal cheeky happy self

forgot to add....

Coz they were so close in age, Ethan gained alot from it, when Charlie brought words home to learn from nursery and school, i would sit and teach them to get and Ethan at the same time, so by the time Ethan got to school he did really well at reading.

I treated them pretty much the same age wise so they always did things together, so Ethan was always that little bit more advanced.

Not being funny to you, but that was probably going to happen anyway.. life puts strains on relationships, especially when you have a baby. No time together, bad feeling in the relationship will always cause problems and not everyone will have the same outcome. My boyfriend and his brother are a year and a few days apart and his parents have been together for about 26 years.

I haven't had the next one yet obviously, but I do feel the "baby tick" we will call it lol, I don't want too much of an age gap but im scared to go ahead for a second! Me and my brother are about 2 years and 2 months apart, and thats great.. we are close and used to go out together and stuff.
