Even 4 years is only probably noticable because there is an older sibling to hang out with. There are 4 years between Mr. Lina and his brother, I get the impression they played together a lot when they were kids. Now it's nothing at all.Seraphinalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706215125457113080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945168277255989385.post-42832970095525564972011-11-09T23:11:16.466-05:002011-11-09T23:11:16.466-05:00The Hubs and I are both only children, so this is ...The Hubs and I are both only children, so this is very interesting to me. I do think that parents tend to assume they know what problems their kids will have -- jealousy of the new baby, etc., and forget that children have personalities and may be irked by something else (like your issues with the babysitting and sandwiches for dinner). <br /><br />We have a 4 and 5 year gap between Youngest and the other two. It was sort of planned that way, but it creates some challenges and it means Youngest isn't as close with his brothers as they are with each other. I think it might change when they're not all stuck in the same house together. My BFF had a sister 5 years younger and it took them until their college (and postgrad) years to really build their relationship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
