I am closer with my siblings that are 13 years younger than me than the ones who are 2-6 years younger.

I have a five month old son and i am 4 months pregnant....People may think that it is way to early but i think that the closer they are together the less work it may be in the future. They can go to school together so you know they never be alone at school they will play together but most of all because the age gap is so short they will grow to be closer than perhaps brothers or sisters that are 5 years apart. Knowing that when my kids are old enough to play out they will always have each other there will probly make me less of a wreck when it comes to it. some people may judge and think that it is too soon to have another baby considering i have got a five month old son but the way i look at is thouse people who are lucky enough to have twins do it so why cant others? But either way wether you children are 5 months apart or 5 years apart you will love and care for them all the same

I have 2 sons, ages 3 and 2, a year and five days apart. I am now 22 weeks pregnant with a girl. I like the age gap between my kids. I admit they do fight but they are good friends already!

I dont know yet how I will go with the three of them.

My sister and I are 18 months apart and we fought like cat and dog when we were younger now we are best friends. My brother was born 4 years after me and we get along really well and always have.

I think it depends on each child's personality. On the other hand I do also think that it sort of makes a child's personality.

I wonder about that if it's 5 years and older they have nothing in common. There is a 7 year age difference between me and my sister and we've always been really close but we fought all the time growing up. It could have been that we shared a room (which I strongly recommend...everyone I know who shared a room at some point with their siblings are close now, not sure if there is a correlation, but it's just something I've noticed). I was always interested in what she was doing. I was constantly stealing her Walkman at 5 and listening to her NKOTB tape, which she eventually gave in said we could share. We would watch BH 90210 together and come up with our own scenarios (I was done watching once Brenda left, continued for another season or two). I think it just depends on the personality of the child, really.

I have an older brother whose 2 years older than me, and a little brother whose 13 years younger. My older brother was always protective of us, and we are still extremely close.He was always on of my best friends growing up, and we talked about everything. There were some nights when we would sneak into each others rooms. My little brother's always been the baby of the family, but he gets all this attention from our friends that he loves.

Me and my older brother used to gang up on Duncan. It was really mean, to be quite honest, but because Duncan is no more than an oversized(REALLY oversized) teady bear, it didn't have much of an impact on him now. We're all really close now, but we would fight ALL THE TIME before. We did all share a room for 2-3 years, which was NOT fun, but it did help make us closer. We used to stay up all night talking. That was when we were still leaving Duncan out, though... but now me and my older brother can talk about anything, really, we've made a kind of habit of takling about relationships/boys/girls after school a lot. I'm really close to Duncan too, now, though we still bicker a lot. Duncan is a great person to pick a fight with, he gets really mad then when it's over he just doesn't care. We talk a lot about things, I normally try and goad him into competitions. Right now it's, 'I can sing better than you can play the bass' which is epic fun. Erskine and Duncan are getting along better, though they fight more than I do with them put together (Did that make sense?). But they share a room still, which is our 'playroom' because my gramma kicked them out of their room (lol). We stay up till 12:00 most nights during the summer watching Adult Swim and waiting for Robot Chicken to come on.

I think that the larger the age gap, the more fighting, but at a certain point there isn't really fighting. We're all more mature now, and things like 'YOU BROKE MY LEGOS!' Don't matter anymore(Probably because we don't play with legos anymore, but that's not the point.). We all fight, but we all love each other too much to really hold grudges. We grew up together, and we live together. We can't hold grudges or it would be a living hell. I think close together is good, but so is far apart. Close together seems like more of a friendship, while farther apart seems like more of a role model/metor thing to me. Not saying that this is 100% true in all cases, just my experience.
