I think I know of more siblings that don't play together well then I know that do.

I have the opposite. My girls do everything together. They very rarely do anything by themselves. If DD1 is watching a DVD, DD2 (not a fan of anything on tv longer then a peppa pig episode) will play by herself but will constantly go to DD1 and ask her to come play. They go to daycare once a week and even though DD1 is in the preschool room and DD2 is in another room, they still end up playing together and the teachers were letting DD2 come into the preschool room. I told them my worries that DD2 will struggle next year when DD1 goes to school next year so they are helping me by encouraging DD2 to interact with other kids.

They do have their moments when they fight but they are few and far between and very quickly forgotten. They are best mates. If you asked them they would tell you that. I am always hearing, 'Not without (sisters name).' & 'only if (sisters name) does.'


No matter how your kids get along, there seems reason to worry. Mine is that they are too close and I really worry about how hard DD2 will take DD1 going to school next year. Their relation ship with DS is pretty good too. They tolerate him really well, might change as he gets older and more capable to annoying them.
