I don't have a second yet but I would not hesitate to split them up. We do it for our puppies all the time. But the best fit for my older child may not be the best for the younger. Now, if there were separation issues I wouldn't. My friend's dogs don't separate well so they are always together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059803 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:08:02 +0000 Lozza 1059803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents did this when my sister and I were little (we're a little less than 3 years apart)- it was a pretty common summer occurrence throughout our childhood, she'd go to one set of grandparents and I'd go to the other. We certainly never minded- it was nice to be the only one getting all the attention :)<br /> My second isn't here yet, but I'd do it. Two kids is a lot to handle, especially when they're little, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059787 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 07:52:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 1059787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd separate them! Just easier for everyone. When they get older I think it'll be easier to watch both at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059776 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 07:43:52 +0000 mrs.cookie 1059776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it could be nice for them each to be a little spoilt with alone time. My dd wouldn't mind being on her own at all. Big brother DS would be devastated though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059759 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 07:32:13 +0000 heffalump 1059759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it just depends on the kids. Might be nice for them to get some separate one on one attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059333 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:02:30 +0000 Andrea 1059333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they would be OK at a young age, but maybe not when they are older as @mrbee said. Do it now!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059330 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:00:36 +0000 T-Mom 1059330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do this all the time for the same reasons.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059268 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:12:40 +0000 mrbee 1059268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive would be bereft without her brother, I think! He wouldn't mind being alone though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059222 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:40:32 +0000 chopsuey 1059222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I would leave the easier Lo with your sil and give the other one to your mil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059172 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 17:10:24 +0000 autumnlove 1059172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I think our older LOs would miss the babies! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059091 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:53:56 +0000 Dandelion 1059091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't fit the criteria, exactly, but yeah, I would. My mom did it...my brother would go to one gramma's and I would go to the other's. Or, aunts and uncles houses or whatever. It would be fun to have my sitter be doting on me all weekend without my brother around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059090 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:53:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1059090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I would if it were with people they were comfortable and familiar with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo#post-1059082 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 15:49:07 +0000 autumnlove 1059082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you ever leave them with different sitters for a weekend trip away?</p> <p>My MIL doesn't want to watch both kids and I feel bad leaving 2 LOs with my SIL who has a baby. </p>
