[quote=Anonymous]I think this is par for the course.  I actually think it's weird for 2 opposite gendered kids 2-3 years apart to be each other's best friends, seriously.  I have friends with 2 who are like this and I'm always wondering what is wrong with their kids.  Seriously.  In the real world, you are going to find that you're not going to be friends everyone.  Having it at home is almost practice to how you manage relationships.  It's not pretty esp for mom and dad but on some level, for the kids, it's not the end of the world.  I also think that between being kids and adults is a lot of years.  You have no idea how the relationships at one time or another might progress.

My mom is the oldest of 5 and they were all pretty close.  Around the time of 30s to 40s, they all started drifting away from each other (this is post their parents' passings so I do think that had something to do with things) and now in their 60s/70s, they don't have much to do with each other.  My mom recently passed away and nobody came for her ceremony albeit they were all out of country.

DH just about tortured his older brother of 3 1/2 years to no end.  Just like my DD tortures her brother (they are about 2 1/2 years apart) but I know that at 11 and 13 this could well be just a phase.  It's her personality and DH now and his bro are tight.  So you see, you really don't know how things will turn out but as kids, you gotta let them be kids I think.[/quote]
