[quote=Anonymous]I am from a large age gap family (5 and 13 years between my brothers and me) plus have a 10-mo old and 7.5 year old. Its been harder than I thought it would be because my son is going through some stuff, we've had other life stressors, and my second is already walking. So we are having to pivot a bit quicker with some stuff and we have to be more intentional with our routines/family values. With that said, they have a beautiful relationship so far. As the eldest daughter I dont remember the rough periods after my siblings arrived but I do remember feeling like a built-in babysitter so we try, and will continue to, let their relationship being as siblings versus a responsibility. We also have to split a lot more of our time as parents. I see it easing up in 12-18 months when we can do the playground more regularly and keep her occupied at games/events, etc. [/quote]
