I have 3 children an 11yr old, 6 yr old and 5 yr old. when my second was born my first was already 5 1/2 years old. she was just as in love with with as I was
right now shes going on 12 and hes goin on 7 and they both love each other BUT they do not play. some days she will color with him and play games but for the most part he is mostly with his little sister. shes 5 hes 6...perfect right? well when they are not fighting lol. They are so close in age i feel like i sometimes have twins! It is alot of hard work. i guess what im saying is that its hard either way but so worth it! I feel like I spent so much alone time with my oldest it was great, now shes alone with no sibling her age I pick up my neice who is 10 so they can hang out and do what preteens do
, and my 2 little ones we usually do group projects and we play together and its harder to divide my time equally between them to give them each alone time but they have each other to play with...I might have confused u guys I feel like im rambling on lol
