[quote=Anonymous]I have this. 16,14,12 and then 5 and 2. The pros - the older ones are like fun aunts/uncles. Different relationship than with siblings closer in age. The younger ones bring a happiness to our home that is nice during the sullen teenage years. The teenagers can't be crabby around a 2 year old and it's so fun to see how much they enjoy watching the younger ones grow up. I do think once they leave for college in a few years, the little kids will be a big draw to come home. The cons - definitely logistics. Trying to find a family vacation that will keep everyone happy is tough. My teenagers ain't happy how loud the house is early in the summer. Their friends are all sleeping until noon. It's awfully hard in our house to do that. I also wonder how close they will be once the older leave for college. [/quote]
