Age differences between you and Dh

Ermmm there's only 1-2 year diff between me and dp, he's younger (22) I'm 24. My mum and dad have an age diff of 11 years i think, and they managed well, my mum was 30 when she had me, 35 when she had my sister, and 40 when she had my brother........and we all turned out pretty alright lolz. I also have 3 older sisters, and one older brother and they have always gotten on well with my dad. I think as long as you spend that time with them (kids) and laugh, play, etc etc it doesn't matter what age you are!!

I'm 30 and my DH is 40. It's a good age gap I think, but I do notice he complains more of aches and pains more since we've had kids, lol!

^ ooo toy boy, lucky you! I obviously did it the wrong way round

We have five years between us (Im older) .. it works well .. he can run around and I can "do wise stuff"

I am 33 and my hubby is 45. I am wife #2 and he has a 16 year old form his first marriage.
He reckons he is more patient and settled than he was as a first timer, and he is. He dosne't swea tthe small stuff.
However, the "down sides" well, not downsides, but things we notice with the age gap and kids thing..

All his friends his own age have children 16 plus years old, so have moved waaay beyond the stage we are at now. So homes are not childproof and often visits are very stressful for me, (pools, nice ornaments, new homes/furniture etc,and I sometimes find, although they are lovely ladies, I have little in common with them as we don't have the bond of young children, I just get the "in a few years you'll be a bit more independant" comments. Not nasty, by the way. Often they forget about inviting him to stuff as they "assume" he is under the thumb with a small family (which is soo not the case, lol)

When we catch up/do birthday parties etc with my friends, people I have met through the kids, he is often the oldest out of all of them and often has little or nothing in common with these guys and these guys are all very "involved" and "hands on"   Rod is not so much. And not in a bad way, Meaning they go to every birthday party, weekend play dates etc. however, I do not make him come to birthday parties with me etc - but maybe I would if the other dads were his age? so, yeah, sometimes that is hard.

Our non kid friends seem to have vanished off the face of the earth, even though we make alot of effort to catchup with no kids and no kid talk, but I guess life takes you on seperate paths.

Other than that, I don't notice the age difference. I have always liked older men and have always dated men older than myself.

Dh gets on with people of all ages are bit like me we always find a common thread somewhere. As for his parents they have both been dead for a while now his mum was 4 years ago and dad was 10 years so no issue there they are however all ways with us at least in spirit. niether of them were at our wedding earlier this year. So any kids we have will only have one set of grandparents which is better than none but they will have great aunts and uncles who they will see alot of one set in particular.

We have 9 years between us. DH has just turned 40, and I know that he is worried about starting our family so late. He gets concerned that he will be quite old at things like their 21st etc! Its no drama for me (we have been together for 12 years...so I was just a baby when we got together!!). We will be trying to finish the baby making within the next 5 years though.

 

small age gap here...im just over 6 months older than my husband.

but dont notice the age gap

I am one year older than my DH, I never think about him being younger though!

DH is 12 years older than me and we don't notice it at all. I'm 26 and he's 38. He's just as hands-on with DS as I am, maybe even more. His best mate also had kids relatively late, so his are only a couple of years older than ours which makes it easy visiting their place.
