[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anyone with a brother so far apart in age, normally it's 2-3 years apart.

Older girl, younger boy is really the best combo of boy/girl. The sister really leads the siblings and is close to their family. She's helpful when the brother is younger.

My friends who had boy then girl aren't as happy. Their sons don't care for the sister at all and aren't helpful. When they're older, they go hang out without their sister.[/quote]

This was a very common gap when I was growing up. Now people have kids closer, maybe because they start later, but a lot of my fifth grade classmates had kindergarten siblings.

Agree with the posters who say hard to see the younger brother as grown up. I plan the holidays and family get together and he just gets to come along. I talked care of parents health stuff. He may help but has to be told what to do. He is in a much more lucrative field of work but I still pay for more things for the family or buy the food when we're together.[/quote]
