4 or 5 year age gap. Please tell me what your kids’ relationship is like

I have a 5 year age gap with my sister, we fought like cat and dog until she hit about 11/12 then we started to get along and we're pretty close now🥰

6yr age gap, best friends

They usually aren't SUPER close early on, but my husband and bil have a 5 year age gap and they're super close now that they're older

My nieces are 4 years apart, and have always been close at 17 and 13 are as tight now as they've always been. I honestly think it's all down to how you bring them up together

My son was 5 and a half when I gave birth to my 15 month old and he ADORES him and vice versa. He’s the first person my LO looks for in the morning

My kids are 12 years apart (13 yrs & 1 yr) and they are really close. I always wanted my kids to be close in age but life happens 🤷🏽‍♀️

My daughter and son are 5yrs apart. He's only 8months but they truly love each other and she helps with him &is a great big sister. My step kids and my daughter are 8/9 yrs apart and they are typical siblings. I'm 8 and 12 years apart from my brothers and we are close. I don't remember them growing up though

I have a 5 year old daughter and a 4 month old daughter. The eldest is an amazing big sister and takes a huge interest in her sister. Me and my sister are 9 years apart and have a close relationship. Just bc you have siblings close in age doesn’t automatically make them close it definitely plays a significant role on how they are raised. In my opinion

My daughter's 4 and my son is 3 months. She absolutely adores her baby brother. My whole pregnancy she wanted me to use the Doppler so she could hear his heart and she freaked when she felt him kick. She plays with him and sings to him. She tried to stop him from crying and bosses me around telling me he's hungry.
I know it's still early but she's such a good big sister and loves him so much. I plan to keep that going as best I can.

My daughter and son are 12yrs apart. (12&9days) it’s still very early but my daughter helped clean my son off when he came out due to me having him at home. She’s extremely protective of him already. It’s very sweet. Every time he cries she appears from nowhere lol I believe they will be very close

My daughter is 5 and I have a 9 mo I think she was happy cause it’s was a baby she was just trying to help a lot . She also felt really alone in the beginning because I was recovering but now her and my 9mo plays . My 9mo LOVES her big sister and always screams and laughs at her .

i have a 4-5 year age gap with my only sibling, as adults we stopped talking, haven’t spoken in about 5 years now lol

i think it really depends on the children and family, my sister is 7 years older than me and we have never been close at all growing up, even sharing a bedroom, it’s only been recently now that we both have children we talk more. my brother is 5 years older and we’ve always had more of a back and forth relationship, we’d fight like crazy but still do stuff together sometimes. so my brother and sister are 2 years apart from eachother and apparently when they were young they were suppppper close but when i was born something happened and their relationship with eachother is the worst. kids are all different and unique so it’s really hard to base something like that simply off of age tho i did always wish i wasn’t so much younger than them.

My two are 7 years apart, and I’m 7 years apart from my sister. We did t get on growing up but since late teens/adults have been best friends. My children are different sex and big boy absolute adores and loves taking care of his little sis.

My 1st and 2nd are 6 years apart and although they fight they have a really tight bond. My 2nd and 3rd are 5 years apart , he's only 5 months but I can already tell they will adore each other. X

My four year old loves the shit out of my almost two month old and vice versa, LO smiles huge when she sees her sissy. Give them a good bond by including the 4-5 year old in daily activities like helping throw diaper away, helping scoop formula, helping pour bottles if they can. Simple atufff to make them happy . Also call it “your baby” to the older sibling. Example ( do you see your baby smiling?) ( can you get me some of your baby’s food?) I found that to help a lot and make them feel even
