Thank you guys!! I was just curious.. My sisblings and I are each 4 years apart.. But that seems like a long time to me.. I think we might start trying again.. but Idk.. My hubby has BABY FEVER lol!!

it doesnt really matter. siblings will bicker now and then no matter what age they are. its all in their personality and how you raise them. my daughter and the baby will be 7 1/2 years apart. i was worried at first, but i dont think its going to be a bad thing for them at all. my brother and i were a year apart nearly to the day and we bickered, my cousins were 9 years apart and they bickered too. i think its not about the time line, its about the family in general and how it handles what comes at them. =)

I come from a big family-Ages 30,29,me(26),21,17,16,15...Oddly enough I get along best with the 15 and 17 year olds lol Probably a personaility thing but the 29 and 17 get along great too. Who knows. Mine are 6, 4, and 8 months. The older 2 are best friends and while they have arguements, they love playing with each other and they both adore the baby. Theres no magic number...

As far apart as is best for you :) My boys are almost 14, 9 and 23 months and there is nothing I`d change! I love the spread!!! They are very close and my one on one with each was perfect :) SO much easier when one is in school when a 2nd arrives :)

however the parents plan and not by what society thinks.

There are 2 1/2 years between our oldest and our 3rd child (2nd passed) She`s 11 and he`s 9. They bicker and fuss with each other everyday. Our youngest is 10 months old. They each have an awesome relationship with her. Sarah loves spending time with both of the older children. For me I would say a wider gap is better.

  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,.....
