Yeah I'm sure this topic is so overdone, but I'm feeling bad and I guess I want to have a good reason for it, lol.
What age do you think is most appropriate for having kids and why? Do you think younger parents are being irresponsible?
And while I'm at it, let's throw in how long to wait between kids too...might as well, maybe my parents are right, lol...

Whelp, I guess personally, I think one should do their best to wait until at least after highschool. I would say after college, but I wanted kids over a career, so it didn't make sense for me to get a degree in something, then take 5, 10 maybe more years off and put everything on hold so I could have my kids. I think it's different for everyone. Age has little importance, I have seen some absolutely wonderful teenage mothers, my best friends sister is a prime example, she is GREAT with her son.
As for space inbetween kids, again, I think it's different for everyone. I had always wanted my kids close together, then I got what I wanted. lol I had my twins just a couple of months before my oldest turned 2. Now, I wish I had put more time between, but I'm not sure if I would feel this way still if I had only had one. Now, I can see the benefit of waiting until your older child is 4, even 5 to have your next. Being able to give each child more one on one time, more attention. What a life that would be! *dreamy gaze*
lol, but, I know some moms who have Irish twins, then have another one barely a year later and then another who claim to love it (I say claim, because I only know these moms online! lol). To each their own, what's right for one person is'nt always right for the next. (And that's OK, people forget that part...it's OK!)
