[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sibling is four plus years younger than I am, and we were five years apart in school.  We were close as younger kids, and then the school gap put us into really different life stages; I had a masters degree before my brother was out of high school.  The life stage difference has persisted into adulthood for us, and we didn't have the closeness as kids to fall back on.  We are also an older sister/younger brother family, and now I have a 20-year-old and teenager, and my brother has toddlers.  We both wish we had been closer in age and able to go to the same schools as the same times.[/quote]

I could have written this - my brother and I have never gotten close, just too much age gap and being girl/boy we’ve literally never had a thing in common even as adults. Maybe had we been the same gender it would have been better but I always remember how annoying it was to go on vacations as a family - everything was a compromise for someone

As a result I had my kids closer together (luckily) and they’re inseparable but it’s definitely a challenge as parents with kids in the same stage at the same time [/quote]
