[quote=Anonymous]Siblings are a total crapshoot though. I have 2 sisters but there is a HUGE age gap (2nd marriage). We just aren’t very close for that reason, although that may change as we age. I do think we will share any burdens of elder care etc - I’m the oldest but live across the country, they are likely to stay nearby. DH has SIX siblings! Also a sizeable age gap from top to bottom- he is 2nd youngest. They have all had very different experiences. Some of his sisters are VERY close. DH is close-ish with one brother but doesn’t talk to the rest much outside of family events. We live across the country from them. Many of the oldest siblings were teens by the time DH was born so they didn’t grow up together. Relationship is fine but not at all close. He has many older sisters who live near ILs so they will bear most of the elderly care. DH is more likely to contribute $$$- if needed. [/quote]
