[quote=Anonymous]I would not keep them apart. I mean, sometimes, yes, for everyone's sanity. But I think that's the path my parents took with my brother and I (also 4 years apart, also always kinda hated each other, never got along) - we just kinda stopped doing stuff all four of us. Which on one hand I understand - all the fighting must have made things really unpleasant for my parents. But that means that we never really figured out how to get along. We kinda low-key hated each other into adulthood. I mean, we stopped being openly nasty to each other by the time we were out of our teens, but that was about the high water mark.

Once my brother had a baby, things changed - we were... 27 and 31 at that point, and all of a sudden, we had this enormously awesome shared interest in this amazing baby, and we started enjoying each other's company, and now, 10 years later, we get along really well. Traveling together with our families next month, in fact. But I think we could have gotten there faster if we hadn't been able to exist so independently starting around the ages your kids are.
