Having kids close in age VS age gap

My husband and I are thinking of trying for our second baby, and our daughter just turned one!

In my opinion I feel having two kids closer in age will be easier rather than having baby #2 when our first is older and then I have to get used to entertaining a baby, lack of sleep etc all over again.

I might be completely wrong and that’s why I want to see other parents experiences.

are you happy that your kids are close in age? Do you wish you waited? Or for parents who their kids have 3+ years age difference, was it a smoother experience waiting or did you feel like you have to start everything from zero and made you exhausted?
