age gap between kids?

Hi all I'm just after some views, my daughter is 10 almost 11 I will be 31 in a couple weeks I have been single most of this time. So here's the thing I always said I didnt want anymore after I was 30 due to medical reasons n wanting to b young enough to b around a long time. However I have just started seeing someone he doesn't have any kids he has asked me what i think about having more (he is happy either way). A part of me is why not but the other part is my baby is almost grown up so would i really want to go back to nappys n no sleep. So what age would u stop n how big of an age gap is to much?

My husband is 14 years older than his youngest brother. Their is another 4 kids in between but now that his youngest brother is 21 he actually gets along with him the best out of all his siblings. They have a lot of common interest and the age gap isn't all that big now they are adults.
My eldest sister is 8 years older than me and I am closer with her compared to my sister who is 18 months older than me.
Once adulthood hits it really doesn't matter.

I have a close age gap between my first two (15months) but we don't plan to try for a third until our youngest is 4. I'll be over 30 by then and I wanted to be done by then but I really couldn't consider a 3rd right now but know I'll eventually want another.

Age doesn't matter when it comes to these kinds of things. Pros and cons for both small and larger age gaps. I'm 15 and my brother is 17. Both being high on hormones, we fight and argue a lot. Both being at school, it's always a competition. Both being in first time relationships, it's always but he can do this or she can do that etc. I've witnessed a lot and a lot of jealousy in closer age gaps. I have personally always wanted a large age gap between me and a younger sibling, responsibility can be good! Teaches maturity and tolerance. Either way I doubt it will have an effect on their relationship, each to their own.
