When to have another baby??

[beastboy]

The wife and I are talking about having another little one.....does anyone hae any recommendations for a good age gap between your first and second child....? My daughter is 3 now...

3 is good

3 - 4 year age gap is idea. 2 or less and you have pure hell with sibling rivalry issues.

The rivalry is what I am worried about....especailly because I know I'm going to have another girl...3:1 women to men ratio will just be torture if I have to deal with constant fighting....

OUCH...no shit. 3 to 4 years is ideal because then they will have totally different social circles and situations growing up and the older one can help out the younger one without feeling threatened by her.

Yeah, I agree with you there. I've got a 2 and a 4 year old right now. I'm thinking that a 3-4 year gap would have been better
