Mine are 4 years apart, i wanted to be able to have time and energy to give them when they are babies and toddlers and to be able to enjot them.

My first are 4.5 years apart and last 8 years. I LOVE the spread. I think 4 years is perfect. So much easier in many ways when one is in school or about to be. More one on one with each child. I know so many moms with kids close who complain how hard it is yet none who complain they are to far apart.

Well my daughter is 3 1/2 yrs old...and I am pregnant {well overdue haha} with our 2nd. I think its a great age gap {3-4 years} because at 3 & 4 they are independent & don`t need us as much. My daughter gets up & gets her breakfast, turns on the TV, puts in DVDs,cleans her room,dresses herself...so when the baby does finally arrive I won`t have to do that stuff for her. Plus Makenah{thats my daughter} will be such a HUGE help! She already acts like a little mother, telling my husband to take off his shoes & not to make a mess in the kitchen haha! So I think a 3-4 year age gap is good. Plus you get so much more time alone with your first child before bringing another one in the house. But everyone is different...my sister & I are 22 months apart...and my mom said it was a great age gap because I was also an independent kid, and she didn`t have to tote on me all the time.

We were aiming for 30 months apart... We started TTC a few months before, We figured it would take a few months to conceive.... WRONG! It happened the 1st month! Our kids will be 27 months apart! Close enough though!

I always wanted about a 2 yr gap, but now I`m thinking more 2.5. Kyan is almost 15 months and although he`s the light of my life and so much fun, he`s a lot of work at this age and the thought of being pregnant right now or close to having another baby...no way! I definitely want him to be a litte older, toilet training and communicating in sentences at least a little.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
