[QUOTE="donna723, post: 314398, member: 1883"] I don't exactly agree with the 'logic' behind it either unless she wants to be tied even tighter to the boyfriend for the rest of her life! Are you sure this is really [I]her[/I] idea and not just her echoing what he's told her? I mean first she was fed up with boyfriend and considering kicking him to the curb ... and now they're talking about having another child together? And there is nothing wrong with having children five years apart! In fact, for us, it was ideal. My two are five years and eleven days apart and my daughter had just started kindergarten when her brother was born. Five year old girls are in that 'little mother' stage and she felt so very grown up being in school. She had gone along to some of my doctors appointments and had listened to his heartbeat. She was so excited to be a big sister! And when he was born, she immediately claimed him as "hers" - and 29 years later she still does, sort of. There was absolutely NO rivalry because they were in such different stages - she didn't have to give up being 'the baby' to make room for her brother. She adored him from day one! [/QUOTE]
