answers from Philadelphia on

My girls are 5 years apart. (My son, who was in between my girls passed away when he was 17 days old.).

My girls could not be closer. My oldest is just so grateful to have her sister and spoils her more than I do😊 and my youngest could not help but love her big sister that is just so good to her. My youngest is really easy going. They both also share a love for the theatre and acting/singing and I think that keeps them close despite the age difference.

My boys are 6.5 years apart and are extremely close. Since they are far apart in age, they've never fought over toys, and there are no jealousy issues. They get along great! Now they are 9 and 15.

There's almost a 6 year age difference between my son and daughter and for now at least they are best friends. My son will play ponies or baby dolls with his baby sister, as will she sit and listen to him read. There's a special sparkle in her eye when she see her big brother. Now I have 4 older brothers ranging from 15 years-13months older and the only 2 I speak to or really care to have a relationship with are my brother who's 13 years old and 13 months older.

My kids are all 3 years apart. Sometimes they get along, sometimes they don't. I think that is the case for all kids, regardless of age difference.

My children are 11, 5, and 1 so the age difference is 6 years and 4 years. My kids are all super close. Although, my daughter (the oldest) occasionally gets annoyed by my 5 year old because he adores her and always wants to play. I have never had to deal with jealousy or fighting. My kids truly get along great.

My boys are 3 years apart. They are GREAT together! For the most part there is anot a lot of fighting, they get along, they play well, and they are friends. They are almost 11 and almost 8.
My daughter is 2. So there is a big difference in age. She LOVES my 11 year old. Just loves him. My son now adores her as well (in the beginning he didn't like her. "she cries too much!"). I love watching the two of them together. She loves my 8 year old too.....but he still teases her a lot and she sneaks into his room to eat candy. So even though there is a big age difference there they are more "sibling-y" lol

My boys are three years and 8 days apart. They are very close, but can also get on one another's nerves. I just make sure they have plenty of opportunities to be away from one another, so that they enjoy each other's company when together.

Mine are 3.5 years apart and it's a great difference. They play together, the older one can help the younger one, and the older one was a bit more independent when the little one was born. I could not have had them with less than three years between.

answers from San Diego on

My girls are 5 1/2 years apart. They fight like crazy but I think part of that problem is my just about to be 13 year old is still pretty immature and my 7 year old acts alot older than 7 most of the time. Also, they share a room and that does not help.

answers from Washington DC on

I chuckle, because my sks are 4+ years apart and my DD is 14 yrs younger than her sister. I am 3.5 yrs apart from my sister and we had a horrible relationship when we were teens/young adults. We are good now. My sks get along pretty well, but they are individuals and don't do a lot together. SD has a good relationship with DD. She will often spend extra time with DD and do a project with her or take her along shopping.

answers from Santa Fe on

My kids are 5 years apart and for the most part have a great relationship. Sometimes they just love playing together and have so much fun. Sometimes they argue/fight. I think it's pretty normal though to get annoyed with your sibling at times. Overall they adore each other. I don't expect them to want to play together all the time...they have a huge age difference and have different interests in life. But I have to say it is surprising to me how much they DO enjoy playing together.

answers from Boise on

My kids are 22, 21, 21, 19, 11, 6, 9, and 3.

They all have good relationships now. They didn't always as teens, but they'd also be the first to defend one another. The older ones take the younger ones all of the time. Plan things to do with them etc,.

The older also get along better as adults. The younger love as hard as they fight, but overall get along great. They're kids, they don't always like each other lol
