I tried to tell my wife that having kids too close together would be tough, but she insisted on having baltspawn 2 about four minutes after baltspawn 1.
It is survivable to have two at a very close age. I have to admit I do not understand how the folks who have multiple young ones (like RT's parents) do it.
One thing to consider in tightly spaced kids is daycare costs. Going from 1 to 2 doubles your costs if both parents work. 2 to 3, not so much, because you suddenly get into stay at home / get a nanny range very quickly. If they are spaced further apart, the older kid is in cheaper/free childcare/school.
