My friend just had her second baby 6 weeks ago and her son was 20months when her daughter was born. so they are reasonably close. She was pretty full on especially because her husband was away most weeks working - but her son has been so cute with the baby and very accepting of the change. She tried to potty train him before but he wouldnt have a bar of it yet... however he is sleeping in a normal bed and had been for about 7 months before his sister was born.
I also have another friend who fell pregnant with her DD2 when her DD1 was only 5 months old!! definately a whoopsie... however the two girls are so close and love spending time together. She now has a 3rd one in there and has 3 children under 3.
I personally am 6 years older than my only sibling (also a girl) and i HATE it. We were at different stages in our lives growing up and yet my sister always wanted me to play with her or follow me and my friends around etc. Only now that she has finished high school are we starting to get along. Yet for my mum, she loved it because i was at school and she could concentrate on the new baby.
We are definately going to plan a 2nd baby fairly close together. (DH is 10 and 12 years younger than his sisters - so we both would like siblings close)
