We currently have five kids in our house ranging in age from 8-14. They are ALL very excited about their little brothers who will be arriving in june. If you are close to your children they will be close to each other.
My sister and I are almost 8 years apart, and yes, there has been jealousy and rivalry at times, but ultimately we absolutely adore each other!
I am 8 years older than my sister (she is 6, im 14), and it’s nice. We don’t fight much because of it, and there’s no competition. She’s cute and looks up to me. My parents really appreciate the age difference, actually.
