My hubby suggested that we have a second one next year when my LO is 3 years old. (1) Is 3 years a good age gap? I am already struggling to take care of my LO now. I can't imagine to have a second one. :p (2) How do you all manage to cope with two kids with such an age gap, considering the first one is still quite young? My LO is quite needy now. (3) My hubby suggested to send my LO to childcare and hire a maid when the second one comes along. I am afraid my LO will feel neglected if that happens. How do you ensure that you give fair share of love and care to both kids?

3 years is a good age.. or more. Once you have #2, you will be exhausted twice as much. #1 will learn to adapt with #2. But I need to give as much attention to #1 too. If the maid looks after #2, you can have "dates" with #1. Just make #1 involved like getting diapers and wet wipes.
