6+ year age gap parents:

Is that saying “one kid is one kid, but two kids are ten kids” still accurate? Or does the age gap make it easier?

My daughter is 3.5. We don’t intend to even try for a second until her 5th birthday just due to daycare costs. But we’re still 50/50 on even having the second. This is one of a few things holding us back.

We still have 1.5 years before we really need to decide, but my obsessive personality means my brain can’t let this go.

Follow up question: did you like this age gap? Any regrets on having to go back to diapers and sleepless nights?

How much support did you have in terms of a village? Or finances?

I am thinking about a 4 year age gap, instead of 3 like I thought. I'm not as ready and I think it makes sense financially. I like the idea of a 3-4 year gap but it's just my age. My older sis is 4 years older and we were always close and had similar interests growing up. I am also close to my older sisters with an 8 year gap and 13 now that I am.older.
