[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the older sibling in that family structure. We got along okay, I guess, but were never close and are even less close as adults. [/quote] This. I was the big sister with a brother 4 years younger. We were never into the same things, could never be each other’s buddy on vacations or at amusement parks (couldn’t ride same rides) and have just never been close. We each brought a friend or cousin with us on any outing bigger than a family dinner. I suppose we would have fought more if we were closer in age or same gender but we’ve never been friends either—even now in our 30s. I was adamant that I did not want a 4 year age gap for my kids and now our dd will have a little brother soon at age 2.5. I’m not expecting them to be best friends either but hoping for a little bit more companionship than I had with my brother. But to me 4 years is a tough age gap—I think less than 3 or 6+ years is optimal. [/quote]
