I used to feel like that too, that more than 4 yrs would be too much. But my sister has a good friend who had her son around age 33, then had 4 m/c's over the next 5 years and finally was able to get and stay pg at age 38 so there is almost 6 yrs between her 2 sons and her oldest son is just so thrilled to be a big brother and is so sweet with her little one. It is really touching to see them together.
I also have a good friend from childhood who is the youngest of 3 and is 10 yrs younger than her brother and 8 yrs younger than her sister. As kids, it was almost like she was an only child but now she is 37 and her sister is 45 and they are best friends and her sister's kids babysit for her kids all the time.
I also know someone who has a 10 yr old, a 5 yr old and a baby. It was her choice to have them that far apart so that each one would pretty much get her full attention in the formative years and she has no regrets about the spacing.
