is it normal for my son and daughter to bond to much?

Question

my son and daughter bond to much that they hate to be apart more than they have to they are both 3 years apart

Answer 1

when I was younger I was very close to my little brother. We were a welfare family and the other kids teased him because of it and they teased me because I was disabled. When we grew up and moved to a new town and my family got off welfare, we became friends with the same group of people. Even now that we are 24 and almost 27 we are still really close. I also have a sister that is 18 months younger than me that I am really close to. I think it is just the way we grew up.
Do you live in a rural area or in a heavily populated area? Do you work often? Are your children involved with different activities? Do you encourage your children to venture out on their own? If you are uncomfortable with it, I would suggest different activites for each child.

Answer 2

This seems to be a great thing. Hopefully they will remain close througout their lives. My stepchildren are 3 years apart. When I got married they were 6 and 9, now they are 14 and 17 and still cannot seem to be without each other. I have a son who is 5 and they are really close with him as well. Some children just naturally love their siblings and the rivalry we are use to does not exist in everyone. Be thankful, you are blessed.

Answer 3

This is a very odd question. Most parents want their children to be close. My sister has a son & daughter who are in their late teens now and there are 2 years between them. They are very good friends. When they were growing up they enjoyed each others company and even had some of the same friends. They very rarely had an argument. You didn't say how old they are now but it's something that will be very special as they get older. Enjoy it....do you want them trying to kill each other? LOL LOL

Answer 4

My son and daughter was real close they are 26 & 24 they would go evry where together what they looked for the most that I noticed was trust and some that the other could honestly talk to and to put a stop to that could be dagerus any way they live fare appart and only talk when they see one another so be so fast to think something worng

Answer 5

I would say that it is great that your children are such great friends. Maybe they feel bored whenever they are apart and doing something else. There possibly might be a reason behind why they always want to be together. Maybe they are trying to avoid something like trouble with school or friends. Try to encourage your children to socialize with friends.

Answer 6

This really depends on how old they are. If they are over the age of 6 they should have already started to make their own friends and their differences alone should have put some separation between. Sweet though it is, I think it isn't normal.

Answer 7

You should pick up the current copy of TIME magazine... it talks about how our siblings shape who we grow up to be... by what you've said about your kids, they have such a great sibling relationship that they will surely learn very positive things about life based on the skils they learn from one another... Good Luck!!! Also, be thankful, I know of many siblings who can't stand to be with one another and it often results in violent or negative behavior...

Answer 8

yea its normal to bond but they have to learn to be apart. im very close to my 12 year old sis (im 13 grl.) the rest of them are pretty close too.

Answer 9

are you kidding? it's great that they support each other that much. You didn't say their age but family bonding is a sure sign of accountability between kids.

Answer 10

U should be proud that your children get along. Just think about all the mother's who wish they where in your shoes because their children hate each other.
