The best parenting advice I ever read came from an advice column in some magazine at a doctor's office. The question was: what is the ideal spacing for children? I expected to read something about the pros and cons of having kids close in age. The answer was: six feet apart! ;)

I predict we will see some changes in correlations as my generation (Millenial) waits longer to have children (due to a variety of factors). I didn't have my first child until 32, my second at 34, and at age 35 I want at least 1-2 more. My husband and I don't have much choice but to have them (fairly) close together!
