What was your experience with such an age gap? And if they are same-sex, can they share a room, or i…

This difference is perfect for us, which is exactly why we had four children with this kind of difference (+/-)!

Friends of mine have children with a similar age gap. The older boy likes his little sister. They bought a bunk bed, though it's too early for the baby, of course. When the boy plays with loud toys, the baby doesn't even flinch; she's used to it.

Our youngest and sibling #3 will have a similar gap, although we wanted a smaller one. We'll see. In my opinion, they won't be playmates with such a gap; there will be a gulf between them.

Yes, mine have exactly that difference. The oldest and the middle one don't get along, like cats and dogs, but the oldest is naughty, and it's also a naughty age 🤭 And the middle and youngest ones love each other)

The first 20 years were awful

My sister and I have that kind of age gap. We only started communicating normally after she finished high school.

It all depends not on age, but on the children themselves, their temperament, and their character.

It all depends on the baby. Some people adore them, some get jealous, and some just take it for granted.

My youngest daughter has this much of an age gap. I like it, and they sometimes annoy each other, then have endless love, and they can also play and watch something together. My oldest and middle child have a bigger age gap, 7.6 years, so they've always communicated less.

Ruzanna I'm also thinking about a third, but if it happens, it won't be until my little one turns 4. And even then, I'd prefer to give birth closer to his 5th birthday.

You won't believe it.
My brothers and I have an age gap of 10 and 17 years, and we're close. But I see my younger brother more as a son than a brother. I have a great relationship with my older brother now. I helped mom a lot with him when we were kids. And then we fought until I was 16 (then I just moved out 🤣)
My kids have a 9-year age gap, and because of my older child's personality, it's too big.
In my opinion, from a parent's convenience perspective, a 5.5-year gap is ideal 👍🏻
Not too much, not too little.

At my 5.2 weeks
For me, the best difference was exactly what I planned.
We lived in one room until my older sibling turned 23, even though there was an empty room available.

Oh, 9 years is not comfortable for me. They can't stand each other at all.
I think 3-4 years is normal.
Now the age gap will be 5 years. We'll see how it goes 😁
