The Perfect Age Gap

Right, I know one or two of MPLST's friends will perk up at this, as they are around the 30 mark and clucking like auld hens. That's you Pops!

According to Sarah Ebner in this article http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/families/article5525024.ece it's not an exact science. No shit Sherlock!

Our two year gap has worked out a treat - at this early stage at least. Well, for the boys it's been a treat, for us it's been mayhem, but I think that would have been the same if we'd had number two +/- 12 months. We've worked hard on how we parent, and generally let everything else fall by the wayside. BB has coped better than we had hoped with the arrival of his little brother, which is probably more than can be said for his parents.

Of course, like us, most of our friends are running out of healthy child bearing years, assuming they don't want to be working until they are 95 of course.
