[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not my family's spread, but one of my friends had a brother about 4 years older and they were SUPER close all through childhood, and seem to have stayed friends as adults. I think it relies on the older one being a big fan of having someone to look/after protect, which is really personality dependent.[/quote] This. I have three, all ~4.5 years apart (not planned that way, just how it worked out.) My oldest really resents her younger sister and they have a lot of conflict, but they both adore and get along with their little brother. My middle daughter has always had a bit of a mother hen personality and loves having someone to look after. We continue to work on the relationship between the older two, but it is hard. So, in my family I have both scenarios of how a large spread can work out. [/quote]
