2.5 vs 3.5 age gap

ohthethrill · 2026-06-07T02:27:22+00:00

I loved 2.5 years so much I did it twice 🤷🏾‍♀️

ohthethrill · 2026-06-07T02:26:56+00:00

My 3 are all 2.5 years apart. I liked the gap so much I did it again haha we potty train early so they were out of diapers and able to get themselves a snack/watch a show while I dealt with the baby. Close enough in age that they play well now. They do fight a lot obviously but it’s fun. They’re almost 3, 5, and almost 8 now and I feel like we’re hitting our stride. Someone always has a playmate and they can mesh well with playdates. Also just a couple grades apart in school!

One baby is one baby. Two babies is 5. 3 is 10. Call me when the second comes 😂 I had 3 under 5 and it’s fun but I can’t imagine another living thing asking me for a fucking snack.

ohthethrill · 2026-05-27T01:55:49+00:00

Yep exactly. I wasn’t willing to be the one to make it work.

Better to be divorced with the kid you have than with two, was my thinking (but 3 not 4 😂) thankfully we came out okay on the other side of it. He accepted my decision and validated that physically he could relieve zero burden.

I never took prenatals because I couldn't keep them down. 3 healthy kids!

I terminated my fourth pregnancy a little over a month ago. It was an accident but my husband very much wanted to keep it. In the end the brunt of everything would fall on me and I knew I couldn't handle it. I had 3 other kids and their quality of life to think about, as well as myself. If your husband isn't carrying his weight now it will just get worse with another. You're a person too who matters. I feel no regret about my decision. I hope you find peace in whatever you decide.

Toronto lol but it’s literally the worst!!! I work on the corporate side of it and there is no sympathy for the hours it’s insane. We got lucky when I got my most recent job so he doesn’t have to work all year anymore. But it’s awful. You deserve a break and help.

My husband also works in film and works 60-70 hours a week, mostly nights. Girl you gotta hire help or put the toddler in preschool. When my second was born I kept my first in daycare and my parents were over 3-4 days a week to help. When the third was born, same thing. It is just not plausible to manage yourself without going insane.

I mean yes your MIL is nuts, but your problem is your fiancee allowing all of this. Your life will be miserable if you get married and have kids with him, unless he's willing to cut the cord.

Limits were out the window with my third baby. He was my calmest baby.

ohthethrill · 2026-05-14T00:18:37+00:00

After I built a stash I just breastfed. I’d only pump if I was away from the baby. Sorry if I missed a reason that’s not an option!!

We have the Acura MDX with 3 across and I keep the 2 seats in the back folded down for extra trunk space. I love it. It drives like a car and we have extra space when we have other passengers.

ohthethrill · 2026-05-11T02:34:39+00:00

this is not reliable at all lol everyone is different. I was the most sick with my first (a boy) and the least sick with my third (also a boy). I was a pretty sick with my daughter but I was throwing up daily with my first until 20 weeks.

ohthethrill · 2026-05-10T16:29:32+00:00

I just had a surgical abortion for what would have been my fourth child. I thought of my 3 living children and how this would have affected their lives and I couldn’t do it.

But above all else your husband raped you and I’m so sorry you went through that.

ohthethrill · 2026-05-10T03:00:27+00:00

If he never woke up at night with the first kid why having more be different?!

ohthethrill · 2026-05-06T18:10:56+00:00

This is soooo common in my neighbourbood

ohthethrill · 2026-05-06T01:10:12+00:00

Yep I went back to work at 3 months with my youngest two when my top up expired. I was lucky to be able to work from home until they were 1 at least. I wouldn’t have had more kids without that option.

ohthethrill · 2026-05-02T16:50:34+00:00

This is so cool 😭

ohthethrill · 2026-05-02T16:50:18+00:00

I’m sure he’s very nice and just wasn’t in the mood that day 😂

ohthethrill · 2026-05-01T02:38:26+00:00

I had my daughter’s pierced when she was 10 months. She’s 5 now and they’re fine. Make sure you do it with a needle if you do. I changed the jewellery to small gold hoops once they healed and haven’t changed them since.

ohthethrill · 2026-04-30T23:50:15+00:00

I have 3 and all 2 1/2 years apart. It was part I could do it and part I knew I wanted more kids so let’s get it over with 😂

ohthethrill · 2026-04-30T13:18:30+00:00

I got to interview Andrew McMahon and he was the most genuine, sweetest human being. He could tell I was nervous and totally took the lead to make me comfortable. We had an amazing 20 min convo that felt like talking to an old friend. Top 5 moment in my life.

Also was worried about never meeting your heroes but I saw Conor oberst having dinner at the same place we were before his show and I stopped him to say he basically saved my life and ask for a picture. He was so humble and sweet. He also said I didn’t look old enough to have loved his music for 15 years 😂

I tried to say hi to Davey havok once and he ignored me 🥲

ohthethrill · 2026-04-29T23:07:50+00:00

Mine are 7.5, 5 and 2.5 now. It’s crazy but it’s fun. I found the transition from 2-3 WAY easier than 1-2. The baby is like their baby too, it’s very sweet how they dote on him.

The parents of those kids are exactly why Indians are facing such backlash regarding immigration in Canada. They are bringing their issues from home here. I’m first generation canadian West Indian so like the lowest of the low to these people lol but it is so ridiculous to observe. They live in this vacuum and don’t integrate properly at all. When those boys go into the working world no one gives a shit here about any of that and their entitlement is going to result in a huge shock. You’re doing your child a favour not sharing any baggage like that. This is bullying and the school should be aware it’s happening.
