Im the oldest of 3, and I think it was aweful. I know it sounds bad, but that's how I feel. I love my bro and my sis, it's just that we don't have many interests. I am 26, my sis is 18 and my bro is 15.

your feelings are normal....... you are an adult, there far you see and thinks of things in a different light and way..... they are still children compared to you... enjoy them for who and what they are...... teach them what you can, and accept the differences... i have 3 sons and the youngest is exactly 3 yrs younger than the oldest and there is 1 inbetween those 2... close is age !!! they grew up kinda as triplets, but today they have many problems amongst themselves.... personality differences which led to some BIG problems...... so either way, close or far apart, sibling problems are there........ God bless

I think 2 years apart is a good age different between a sis and bro. My bro, sis and I are 2 years apart and we get along just great! That is not much of a difference in age!
There is nothing wrong with the gap between you and your sis and bro age. At least your the oldest and they can look up to you! As you get older you will find that your age difference isn't that much apart. Maybe now you feel this way because they are still in there teens. But as you get older you will find things in common with each other.

My daughters are 2 and half years apart. I have enjoyed them being so closed together. Now that was youngest is getting older then we are more free with what we can do. For example, my sis in law's has 3 children the first one(daughter) is five years older than her son. However, the boys are just one year apart. It has been harder on them because of the fact they would like to go do things and they can not because of the fact the boys are younger. Their daughter feels like she can not do anything and has to wait for her brothers age do things. For example, Disney World. She was all excited that she was going to go DW then her Mom found she was pregnant with the first son. Then they were going to wait until he turned two. Then she became pregnant with the second son. I guess what I am saying you can basically just get everything over with.. ie BRACES. That is what we are going through now.. Good Luck

I think it would be better close in age.
My Brothers and I are far apart in age. My older bro is 34, I'm 26, and my younger bro is 16. We get along mostly, I've always been closer to my older bro. But now that the youngest is growing older hes getting closer with us.

When bro/sis are much older (i.e., more than 7 years or so), there is this gap... I dont know why, but I feel closer to my bro/sis who are near my age... I dont really feel that close with the oldest...

I have 5 kids: 11, 9, 7, 5 and 2 and it is great that they are all close in age because they can play together. In our neighborhood we don't have nice kids around for my kids to play with so they play with one another....it is nice for them because they don't have to feel lonely.
I was the youngest of three. My sisters are 9 and 11 years apart. They ignored me when I was little and they still do. We have little communication with one another and we seem to have nothing to talk about....I grew up feeling like an only child and it was very lonely for me. I would have loved to have had a sibling close in age.

i think having kids closer in age would be good because they would be able to expeirience a lot together and help each other along the way. but i have an older brother we fought a lot but he was always protective of me. and i have a younger brother and im protective over him. i also have a sister the same age as me almost which i dont like at all and a little younger sister that i have a lot in common with. not something you can really decide i dont think

yer i think the closer in age the better. my sisters and i are all two years apart and are very close.my three boys have 4 years between each of them (youngest 6 oldest 14) its a big gap when you want to do something as a family.but you cant always plan these things the way you would like to.

There are plus and minuses to either. Kids close together tend to play well together while, kids further apart in age tend to do better in school because they have had the more intense one on one time in the first five years that have given them the edge to excel.
