sibling age gaps....
My new brother was born today
and that means there are 25 and a half years between me (the oldest) and Euan ...and also 6 years between Tyler and his new uncle lol
I have 4 brothers (aged 23,16,11 and new ) now and 2 sisters (aged 15 and 14). and i have good relationships with my other brothers and sisters.
does anyone else have big age gaps and does it affect the relationship you have with your sibling?

Re: sibling age gaps....
Congrats on being a sister once again xxx
We dont have massive gaps compared to some others i know (me-eldest 24,Tye,22,Isaac,16,Fred,14) but it was a big enough gap that i looked after the lil uns as i grew up
Theres a 14 year gap between Corker n his lil bro-thats how come he was so good at changing Jacks nappies till he was potty trained......which proved useful haha

Re: sibling age gaps....
My eldest sister is 56 this year and im 41 in 3weeks. My other sister is 50 and my brother is 49 in september. I am closer to my other sister than my eldest. I think its because my eldest sister got married when i was 6 so was just me and my other sister sharing a room even though she went off to university.

Re: sibling age gaps....
I'm an only child so have no personal experience to draw on but in my opinion having 2 children with a big age gap is like having 2 only children.
The elder one will be more like another parent/aunt/uncle to the younger one.

I bet it's so weird being pregnant at the same time as your mum.

I couldn't disagree more Lilly. I have siblings 8, 15 and 16 years older than me and I see my eldest sister (the one 16 years older) as a sister and I always have done. My relationship with her is different to other relations because she is my sister.

Re: sibling age gaps....
I'm an only child but my late husband had a brother a lot older than him which makes my girls cousins like a different generation.

Re: sibling age gaps....
I have older brothers and sisters, oldest will be about 40 now and I am the youngest at 27, I don't talk to any of em
There are 5 yrs between my daughter and son, they fight like cat and dog, argue but also can play real nice and stick up for each other

Re: sibling age gaps....
I'm an only one, my parents gave up after me
My two daughters have kids, my eldest has a 20 year old daughter
my youngest has two sons 5 and 1, seems she thought it was time to catch up on big sister

Re: sibling age gaps....
My family does things in groups
I'm an only child but all my cousins (there's only four of them) and I were born within four years of each other - and we all waited and had our children, between us we have 9 and had them within about six years of each other.
