Summary

This quote humorously suggests that spacing children several years apart allows parents to learn from their mistakes with the older children. By having this time gap between siblings, parents have the opportunity to reflect on their parenting approach and rectify any errors they may have made. It playfully implies that parents will make different, perhaps opposite, mistakes with their younger children, highlighting the continuous learning and growth that comes with raising a family.
