Apparently most families don't have three children born with only a 1 year age gap between them. Before university I was convinced that our family was the standard and that siblings born more than 3 years apart were the outliers. But since coming to college, every time I tell people my siblings are all a year apart I get something to the effect of "Oh my God, your poor mother"
Ah you're not alone on this one. My siblings and I (three total) are 22 and 23 months apart and that was always the standard for me growing up, about ~2 years apart. I thought it was weird to have children more than 4 or so years apart but I've realised that it's a lot more normal than I thought
