[quote=Anonymous]My sister and I are five years apart and my kids (daughter and then son) are 6 years apart. There would be fleeting moments when we were kids where she'd pay attention to me and then ditch me for her friends or some cooler activity--such as when I was 7 and she was 12. I was so crushed because we'd have a great time playing and then she'd get a phone call or something and jet off and I was left alone to play by myself. I see that sometimes with my own kids. We didn't become close until I was in high school and she was in college and now we're the bestest of friends and very close. I'm not sure the same will happen with my daughter and son. They're not very close right now (as he's 6 and she's 12), but I do hope they become closer as he gets older. That being said, my daughter was super attentive to him when he was baby--so helpful, always getting him his paci blanket, bottle, whatever he needed. That all changed once he was no longer a baby.
