My brother is nearly 7 years older than me, my sister 4.5 years older than me. I hated it growing up, I was never allowed to play with them because I was too young and they didn't want to look out for me. They even left me wandering the streets of brisbane on holiday once when I was about.. 8 I think? They ran off and left me and I had totally no idea where I was so I sat in the gutter and bawled my eyes out They got into a heap of trouble for that though.. hehe

It was always like that growing up, so thats why I had my kids close together, so they would play with the same things, and one isn't too much older than the other one.

My brother and I get along good now (and I adore his wife!) but my sister and I have hardly anything to do with each other - but thats a personality thing - not an age thing
