Sibling age gaps
Hi girls, I’ve been overthinking the age gap between me, my sister and my unborn daughter. I’m 19, my sister is 6, and my daughter will be here in February. There is a large age gap between my and my sister but I worry about how it will affect her being a auntie at such a young age.
Is this a normal thought?

I wouldnt stress
I’m 20, have twin siblings - 5 and another who is 8 next febuary. I have a 5 month old.
It won’t affect her, she’ll probably know she is an ‘aunty’ but I wouldnt be surprised if she acted more like a sibling
It shouldn’t have an emotional toll and i’d be surprised if it did
Me and my Uncle are 9 years apart and growing up he was like my big brother.
I have 2 other uncles who are 2&3 years older than me.
If anything I think it brought us closer together as we understood one another.
My youngest brother is 7 (just tuned 7 in July) I’m 24.
He adores my children aged 1 and 2. He is an uncle to 3, the youngest being a month old💖
They actually have a better bond than my kids with their older uncles / aunts
My youngest brother is 9 and honestly he stresses about how he’s gonna take care of the baby without a job💀 but he’s also excited to have a baby to play with.
