[quote=Anonymous]My husband is the second of four brothers; the three oldest are very close in age and the youngest is 10 years younger than my husband. My husband is closest to his youngest brother -- they have similar interests and temperaments. In recent years, my husband has grown closer to his closest-in-age younger brother (#3 in the lineup) as they've been the two to take primary responsibility for helping their aging parents. As far as my MIL and FIL's experience with the age gap, I get the sense that they really loved having a bonus baby. They were in a more settled place financially and emotionally and could enjoy his childhood in a way that they couldn't in the whirlwind of raising the three older boys while trying to get established financially and professionally. (My FIL had become a tenured prof by the time the youngest came along, so they no longer had that sword hanging over their heads.) [/quote]
