[quote=Anonymous]My half sister is 21 years younger than me. My dad told my step mom that they could have a baby but both of his had to be out of the house first. He never wanted us to have to share resources or attention. My brother, half sister, and I are all very close even though she is significantly younger than us. My kids are the 2nd set of kids for my exDH. His kids were 2 (g) and 5 (b) when we started dating. The girls are 10 years apart and the boys are 13 years apart. All 4 kids are incredibly close. My now 18yr old spends significant time with her older sister and brother. If the big kids are attending a function or activity, the younger kids will happily attend just to spend time with the older kids. When my kids were little and exDH had them for the weekend, we often did a lot of divide and conquer. exDH would spend Sat with the big kids and all 6 of us would do something on Sunday. exDH was in his mid 30 when we had the younger kids. The agreement we made was that most of the financial support for the house and younger kids would be on me as he was still obligated to the older kids. We both continued to progress in our careers and now that we're in our 50s there is plenty of money to go around. [/quote]
