The closer in age they are, the easier it is. Mine are a little over 2 years apart (7/9). They entertain each other. They are like best friends, b/c they do everything together. They are willing to go to the same movies, enjoy vacations the same, etc. Bonus points if they are the same sex b/c kids don't care about hand-me-downs.

We have friends that only have 1 kid. They have an easier time dumping the kid on a friend or family member so they can go on dates. But the single kid always seems bored until they hang out with others.
