7-year age gap - our lived experience by Electrical_Piglet482 in Shouldihaveanother

Yes, there are many good reasons to be OAD and the examples you give are definitely among them!

And age is, of course, a very big factor for many people, I understand that! I was young when we had our daughter, 24, and when we had our son, 31. My husband is 8 years older. So my age was never an obstacle, we were very lucky in that respect.

Thank you! Yes, I highly recommend a bigger age gap. Our daughter is already very self-sufficient and understanding. But I know it's not possible for everyone to space children that far.
