Hello everyone, I'm quite the chatterbox today!
Ok so, i have a question / ramble / mostly question that i thought you could all share your and your families' experiences with me...

I am 20 years old, and (yes as well as pregnant myself) as many of you already know, my dear old mum is pregnant too. My question is, how have you come to bond with siblings that have such large age differences to yourself? Although they drive me mental, i'd like to think i have a close bond and fairly strong relationship with my two younger brother. They are 15 and 10. i am worried about how i will be able to connect with my sisters once they are born. It is very important to me, that they be as much a part of my life as my brothers are, regardless of the fact that they are half-sisters. This is not a problem to me, without half-siblings i would have no family other than mum to speak of!

I know it would be different if i were still living at home, but now as i do not, and will be having a child of my own i am really wondering how i can form a good relationship with them. Is it little silly of me to expect to have them grow up as close as my brothers are? I guess that's the childhood always wanted a sister to be my best friend dream going on. But when mum got pregnant we were both sort of shocked to go oh yeah, your sisters, not nieces. LOL, especially when the girls will be the aunty's of my DS.

I just wanted to know how you, or some have your older children have taken to baby siblings with such large age differences?

Soul, if you are reading this, you in particular! I know your eldest son is still four years younger than me, but how has he bonded with little Pheeny? Do you think things will be any different if and when you have your next bubby? I think it's a little different because you have all of your children in between whereas with me it's been 5yrs, 5yrs and now an extra 10yr gap, but I'm curious to see what you can all tell me!
