I voted for 5 or more. Since I've been TTC for over 2 years...my children will be between 12 and 13 years apart. Not ideal since my sister and I are 13 years apart and we are not very close at all. Actually I pretty much despise her.

The pros is I was able to dedicate my attention fully to one child for many years. By the time my 2nd child is in school Jonathan will be pretty much out of the house and independent so I'll be able to give my 2nd child all the attention as well.

The con my kids will pretty much live completely seperate lives.

I think you make whatever situation you end up with work for you.

For those of us TTC for a long time we don't even think about when is the PERFECT time IS since we'll pretty much take anytime.
