[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am one of three (I am the oldest). I will be honest, I have little to no relationship with either of my siblings. We grew up pretty much hating one another. I now have two kids (wanted a third, but did not go for it due to maternal and paternal age). I was afraid they would be like my siblings and I. They are not. They are really very close (2.5 yrs apart). They do have their moments of sibling rivalry, but they are short lived and they are learning how to work through things together. There was a previous poster who mentioned parenting and I do think that is part of it (my parents should have gotten a divorce and their issues really factored into the whole family dynamic). Not saying I'm a perfect parent (I am not by any means perfect), BUT I promised myself I would not create a household like the one I grew up in (and so far I think I'm doing that).[/quote]
