[quote=Anonymous]I think like most family dynamics, this is less dependent on the number of people and more dependent on personalities involved.

I am the youngest of 3.  I have loving and supportive relationships with both my siblings.  A little closer to my sister (she's the middle and lives close to me) but I adore my brother and his wife too.  We all fought like crazy at times growing up.  But unlike a PP, the advantage of 3 was that you couldn't be a little jerk, because the other two would gang up on you to keep you in line.  Our alliances were always shifting depending on which kid was being the biggest jerk. You had to play by the rules to be in the club essentially.  But we were good kids, and loved each other, even if we fought.

Being the youngest of 3 makes me really long for a 3rd child.  I have 2 awesome kids already.  But I'm just not really sure a 3rd is in the cards for us.

I think the biggest factor that's kept us all close as adults is we each married someone who compliments us, but also compliments our family.  All three of us are married with kids and all us really enjoy each married-in spouse.  Our kids all get along really well and love each other like mad too, so that helps immensely.[/quote]
