[quote=Anonymous]I am a sibling with this age gap on either sides. I am sure there are pluses, but I a give some negatives that you should think about side stepping. The older siblings advice was taken by my parents too often. You need to remember that 5 years is enough time for things to change - things will change at school, with sports programs, how you take the SATs and drivers ed, which colleges are appropriate. The younger one does get dragged around a lot, but some of that is fun. I would say what is less fun is being older and it being the first time for both of you doing something. From both sides, it's hard seeing your parents more lax with the next kid. we are close now but there were periods of fighting and sibling rivalry. I wish we were closer in age, but you get what life gives you. [/quote]
