np THIS. I got pregnant (not planned!) right away after my first. They are 11.5 months apart. I certainly wouldn't recommend THAT little spacing (ideally you want to give your body a couple years or so to heal), and I concede that the first year or so with two so close was VERY rough. But now I've found that I really love how close they are in age. It's made it easy when planning fun activities and such because they are generally on a similar level. They are best buddies, and it's really been cool for us. I also know a friend with two close in age who feels like they are more competitive, and clash more because of the small age difference. So I think the ideal spacing varies greatly based on personalities, etc. [ Reply | More

For me, my mom was asleep in their bedroom, my brother was in his room, and I would be watching TV on the floor in the living room on the weekends. My dad would come in the living room and tell me to come sit with him on the couch, and then "on his lap". Thankfully, once I got to his lap I would realize something was wrong and leave and he didn't force the issue, but he would still try similar things again and again. Not sex, but "touching". Lots of that. He's a sick MF, and unfortunately there's a lot of them out there. A lot of them were abused as children, so it's a cycle unless one gets treated to make the cycle stop. [ Reply | More

The fact of the matter is, unless you are w/your child at all times, you can't prevent any molestation. For me, I was molested, but I did not leave my child alone w/anyone, not even a nanny, until he was old enough to tell me what was going on. My stupid mother would leave me and my brother alone w/my uncle, and he would go to town on both of us separately. People can be evil. [ Reply | More
