Any kiddos with 4 year age gap??

My little girl was 4 in January and due in June. Personally I think it’s a perfect age gap, my little girl is obsessed with friends and family’s children who are 8-9 and they play so well together. I also think it would have been horrendous to even think about having another before now, as she’s so much more self sufficient and aware, and may even be interested in helping. 4 years is nothing really x

My kids are 10 years apart and they have the most amazing relationship. My daughter is absolutely in love with her big brother and vice versa

My boy was 4 years 3 months, he took a bit of time to get used to it but not absolutely loves his 9 month old brother

My sisters and I are all 4 years apart (I’m the middle) and I’d say it worked out great for us! We all started school milestones like middle school and high school a full cycle after each other but had plenty of time growing up under one roof together.

Not to discourage you, but I'm 4 years 4 months younger than my sister. We are not particularly close.

I think a big part of that is that they didn't prepare my sister well for the fact that she was gonna get a lot less attention when I was born. The problem was that she was the only kid in the family. Then, within a week, I was born, and my aunt had her first. So everyone was preoccupied with babies at home and with family. My parents would encourage her to be "responsible" and "independent", which was how they were raised with their younger siblings. She did not respond well and spent a long time resenting me existing.

As adults in our 30s, now we get along better, but she lives in CT and I live in MD. We regularly go years without seeing each other, and I don't think it bothers either of us that much.

My eldest is 8 and youngest is 9 months. Yes we've had a bit of jealousy but they are the best of friends l love watching their bond grow 🥰🥰

3 of my kids have a 4 year age gap and the baby has a ) year age gap. 15, 11, 7 and 1

Oh they could possibly have a very strong bond. My son is 7 and his baby brother is 1 and they are inseparable! They play very well together.

My son and daughter are 4 years apart. My son graduated to be such a great big brother! He’s 4 and she’s 4 months right now. We tried things to prepare him for the arrival of his new sibling. Talked about it with excitement for him all while I was pregnant. My baby adores her big brother, she gets so excited when she hears or sees him.
I feel that a lot of what we do for them as parents will either strengthen the bond or create resentment. We try to give my son the same excitement that we give our baby. In tone of voice and emotion, sometimes we forget that their world completely changed as well. When our guy met his sister, we had a gift ready for him, “from sister”. He was so excited to meet her and hold her and then when he got a gift from her he was so surprised, how did she know he loves sharks lol.

My boy is 4 and my daughter is 12 weeks

We had secondary infertility, so our oldest was begging for a sibling and excited to have one finally. Honestly, it was awesome to have her older cause she understood turns and could be involved as a helper grabbing a diaper or such. They are 6 and 2 now and the best buddies❤️ typically they play together super well, but like any siblings of any age gap they do have their disagreements 😂

My kids are 4 years and 9 months apart! My older child loves their younger sibling so much. He is also such a big help. He calls her his baby and reports every new thing she does to his whole preK class. I’ve had moms I don’t know come up to tell me they’ve heard my baby has her first tooth now 🤣 I was worried too but seriously it’s been the best to watch them together. During the newborn phase he was kinda give or take with the new baby though but once she started to crawl they bonded 💛 good luck!

My daughter is 4 years and 3 months older than her brother. She’s currently 5 and a half and baby boy is 14 months. Not only is she helpful but she definitely loves him! She makes him laugh, and he loves her so much! I wish they were closer in age personally..but I am very happy with their age gap. And she is old enough to understand certain things that has made it easier as well. Plus she’s in school so I get time alone with them both regularly and together so neither of them feel left out

I've just had a little boy in march and my first born is 3 years and 8 months, it's a lovely gap, my first born is completely obsessed with him and couldn't wait to show him off to his nursery friends and he helps me bath him and loves to have a cuddle on the sofa with him. Honestly, please do not worry 😊 my husband and his brother are four years apart also and they're best pals also. X

Mine are about 3 and1/2 years apart. They do pretty great together.

However it did take time oldest to adjust

Mine have a 7 year age gap. They have a close bond particularly when we go on holiday but they can also fight about the most stupidest things.

There is a 5 year age gap between my 1st and 2nd and a 4 year age gap between my 2nd and 3rd. My older two fight frequently, but they are both obsessed with their baby sister. I hope my older two get closer as they grow

5 yrs between my sister & I, she is my ride or die.
8 yrs between my 2 & my bubba absolutely adores his big sister. & sister claims bubba as “her baby”

I have 3 kids, oldest and middle is 5y3m apart and 2 youngest ones are 20months apart. And the 2 youngest are very close but they all play together and the oldest is always watching out for her younger siblings, being the big sister and all.
Sometime the oldest and middle play together, leaving the little one out or my oldest will play with youngest leaving the middle one out. Ages are between 4 and 11. Overall they besties

I have 2 younger sisters and we are 3y4m apart and 3y9m apart and we all very close, always have been.
