I just found out we're having another baby!

[MuffD]

I am kind of scared, happy, excited and...I dunno. I have a 1.5 yr old girl right now so she'll be two when the new one arrives. Anyone else here have kids close in age? Was it hard giving one or the other attention?

Thanks

Congrats my advice is dont speak to them in little baby voices speak to them normally and teach them everything you know.Most importantly when they get older keep them away from the filthy sexual inuendo thrash nickeloden and fox kids show on tv.Have you ever sat and watched any of these new cartoons they are psychotic and ridiculous.

Congrats and good luck, I hear its really hard when they are young. But I bet they would appreciate more later on that they are closer in age rather then 7 years difference like I am.

Yes, those shows are quite ludicrous.

Nah, kids are coo'... congrats!

that is great!!!
I have to say that having kids the same age is a pretty good thing. My Brother and I are 2 yrs apart and we played great together when we were young.
Congrats!

My best advice is to treat your kids as equals. Looking down on them will make them "know" that they do not have power as an individual. Let them win a few arguments so they know that they can successfuly stand up to authority and succeed in certain circumstances.

Thanks everyone! I'm just hoping that they can grow up and be really close. My brothers and I were 5 years apart each out of 3 and I'm close to them now that I am older but we didn't play as much growing up because of the huge age gap.

Yeah, nickelodeon is almost as likely as video games to cause your kids to shoot up thier school.

I have on that is 2 and one that is 3. Just remember that you need to give them each some time away from the other so that they can develop their own identity. Sometimes the older one can be overbearing and the younger one wants to do everything the older one can.... It can be crazy sometimes but in the end just look at them and it is all worth it...

Now you need this more than ever


Try not to show to much favoritism toward the younger, it can be difficult if the new one is a boy.

 

[Azraele]

Congrats!

 

[waggy]

i have a little one now. 2 would be waaay to much but i would love it.

People used to say that to my aunt & uncle (they have either 7 or 8 kids now, I lost track a while ago).

His reply?

Well, we used to think it was sex, but if it was we'd have HUNDREDS of kids.
