Curious for those who have his mine and yours, what ages are they? Mine are girls 6 and 8. His are girl 7 and boys 9 and 11. We want ours and oh wants to wait a few years but I'm worried about the age gap. All our kids now are close in age. There could be a gap of 10 years then if we have our own.

Mine is 7.5, his is stb7, our is 10.5 months. If I'd have had more time age wise I'd have waited another 2.5 years easily.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking it was a big deal but maybe it's not. My sister doesn't have children yet and won't be for another couple of years so my OH said when she has hers it would be close to ours and they would be brought up together as cousins so ours wouldn't be lost with nobody it's own age to play with.

My step kids are 21 and almost 25. Our kids together are 11 and 7. I don't think it's a big deal at all. My DS7 adores his two oldest siblings and my DD11 has just found that she and SS24 both love anime. She told me they talked about it for 2 hours while he babysat them last week. I worried about my two not really knowing their older siblings because of the huge age gap but it's all been working out.

I am the middle of 3 girls, one 3 years older and the other 6 years younger. The older and younger are closer to each other than I am to either of them, so I'd say age doesn't really matter.
