Not a parent but I am the eldest out of three girls and let me tell you it is not easier if they are the same gender. Despite the fact that the current middle child spent 9 months saying "I'm gonna be the best sister ever and play with my baby sister all the time" both of them now hate each other
Our boys, 3 1/2 years apart, vary between quite friendly and sworn enemies. I think the age difference is an important factor. They're a bit like the relationship between spouses (sometimes fighting over even very small things) with MUCH less maturity. Is it better than one? Well, my own "lonely only" childhood looks pretty cool sometimes! But I see the seeds of a lifelong friendship.
I'd prefer more pets to more kids. Pets are much less grief & don't like as long. Plus you can't take your kids to the Animal Shelter if you get a bad one

I'm so lucky! My 13 and 14 year old girls are best friends, always have been. Now my sister and I will never speak again but.....
