[quote=Anonymous]I think it has less to do with parent involvement and more about personality. My brother and I are 3 years apart, he is older. Since he was born he was a force to be reckoned with - with me, with my parents with the few friends that could handle him. He was and still is a very difficult person. We were never close - in childhood or now well into our adult lives. My DH on the other hand is 1 of 3 siblings. He is the oldest and has 2 younger siblings basically 2 years apart. Growing up the his sisters were very close and he wasn't - they were girls and he was a boy. He got his own room, they had to share, they played with dolls and play with his friends. The got along ok but now as adults enjoy being with each other and complement each other. The 2 sisters still remain closer primarily because of their gender. My DH loves being around them but doesn't search out their company - they live all over the country so they have to work to see each other. The youngest sibling is very family oriented and its utilmately all of her efforts that keep the family getting together regularly. [/quote]
