My best friend had three kids, nine years apart… an 18 year spread! Me, I stuck with one… who at 22 is still hanging around, but hopefully his room will be available for rent soon!

My brother is 11 yrs. older than me (no siblings in between) so I'm sure my mother could relate to this one! .-= kys´s last blog ..10 Things To Do When You’re Bored =-.

Meleah: It didn’t seem like going back to the beginning when I started the whole journey. However my son has been an easy child to raise. He was into everything as a toddler, and I have the gray hairs to prove it, but he settled down and has been a breeze since then. {knocking on wood}

Brenda: When they are 30 and 20 they will (hopefully) be out of the house and then I will certainly enjoy them.

Jessica: I don’t want to return either of them and I grew up with a brother so I did want to have two. A little closer in age would have been nice or if I had been a little younger when I started the whole thing, that would work too.

Weezer: Three girls is so much worse than what I have going on here. How did you get through it?

Mrsblogalot: Good point!

Thanks for stopping by Weezers Haven and commenting.
2 kids 10-years apart, huh? I had my first and then 8 years later had another, then 15 MONTHS later had my last one. All girls. I think that’s what made my experience so different from yours. All girls. Now I’ve got the three granddaughters…..oldest is 8 years old, and then there’s one 15 months old and another 13 months old. And a 4th (gender unknown) due in July.
I’ll have to get caught up on all that you’ve got going on here…..one red-head to another. I’ll be back.

It gets better. My kids are almost exactly 10 years apart and they are very close. My son is 30 and my daughter is 20 and hubby and I are enjoying it being just the two of us for the first time since we got married.

My girlfriend is in a similar situation as you. She just had a new born baby girl, after already having an 11 year old. I dont know HOW she does it! I have one 13 year old son, and I simply cant IMAGINE going back to the beginning!

Dave: I was one of those moms who cried on the first day of preschool (and kindergarten and first grade). They were of course happy tears, joyful tears, and tears of relief.
