For you mom's with more than one kid, how many years apart are they? What do you think the perfect age difference is?

DD1 was born in June 2000
DS was born in January 2003
DD2 was born in December 2006
DD3 was born in April 2008 

I like the age difference between DS and DD2 the best.

My oldest will be 4 in June and my other will be 1 in June. Works well for us but I'm hoping to have the next one a little closer in age, mostly because I'd just gotten used to my oldest being pretty independent and not needing me as much and I wanted to have my kids 2 ish yrs apart.

I'd like to wait at least 4 more years to have my second. I'm not ready for another yet finacially. Also I'd like to have a while to enjoy my first before having another.

Well I used to say max time between kids for me would be 2 years, dd will be 4 in October and we are no where near having another. If our financial situation doesn't get better I'm afraid she will be our only :(

 I don't think there is a "perfect" age difference. Kids are only going to get along based on their personalities. My kids are 4 years apart and adore each other. My sister and I are 5 years apart and she never wanted me around.

My son will be 6 years old on Monday. I am 10 weeks pregnant with our 2nd. We planned it this way. We were never sure we wanted more or not.  So far...I am loving it. My son is involved, understands what is going on, and I feel I have gotten to spend more one on one time with him.  I also do not have to deal with 2 in diapers, I got my body back for awhile, and we were able to travel so much more.
