Also, and my boyfriend calls this the \"evil genius theory\", before too long, the older of the siblings can babysit the younger 1 or 2. FREE BABYSITTING! WOOT WOOT! It doesn\'t get better than that, folks.
I couldn\'t bear to think of taking a hiatus from diaper changing only to go back to wiping asses. Nor did I want to put away a crib and then put it back together.
But besides the selfish reasons, having kids close together in age gives them siblings that they can relate to. We know some people where they have younger siblings that are 10 years younger than them. There is no way having a younger sister being born when you are in 5th grade is going to be as tight as being in high school together.
Just my $.02
Some friends of mine have what I guess you\'d call \"Irish Triplets\".. She had the first baby, a boy.. Got pregnant less than 3 months later, Baby #2 was due the same month Baby #1 was to turn a year old.. But Baby #2, a girl, was born 6 weeks early.. So they had a 2 month old at Baby #1\'s first birthday... Then when Baby #2 was about 6 months old, she got preg with Baby #3, another boy..
Now they have Baby #1 who turned 2 a few of months ago, Baby #2 that\'s almost a year and half and newborn Baby #3... I can\'t even fathom trying to parent a 2 y/o a 1 y/o and a newborn at the same time, it has to be extremely stressful to say the least....
