[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because of secondary infertility, we're going to have a 6.5 year age gap. I'm so worried that they'll be like my half sister and me (13 years apart). She's more like my aunt than a sibling. My daughter is so, so excited to be a big sister but I'm nervous that the different life stages will prevent them from being close friends. [/quote]

My sister is six years older and hated me from the moment I was brought into the house.  She used to beat the daylights out of me until one day I turned on her and hit back.  We have no relationship at all.  You may have a different outcome.   I can tell you that she resented having to help with me--even bringing a diaper, so do not make older child your free helper/babysitter.[/quote]

OP clearly asked for positive experiences.[/quote]

True but I think if anything these replies show that it’s not about the age gap, it’s more about the two kids and their personalities. That could be reassuring, or not![/quote]
