What is your ideal age gap for children?

fatherblogger @fatherblogger (673) • Philippines 11 Apr 09

I only have 2 children, ages 13 and 8. Their 5-year gap is just fine with me, and I think longer than that will create a generation gap somehow. If it will be lesser than 3, I think me and my wife will have a hard time to take...

pam210 My kids usually went into a big kid bed between 12 months and 18 months depending on when they decided to climb out of their cribs. A couple of my kids went into a big bed but 2 of mine went from a crib to a toddler bed. I really liked the toddler bed because...

pam210 It depends on what you are trying to do - outside activities or inside the house. If you search you local community you are bound to find some free stuff. Our local zoo has free admission on Mondays (which doesn't help me much since I work) but they also have...

pam210 I enjoy raking leaves but I hate to bag them. Fortunately our city comes along and sucks them up every other week. All we have to do is rake them down to the curb. I always do the front yard because it is on a hill and they go down real easy. My husband on the...
