I am the baby of the family. My sisters are 1 yr, 9 yrs and 11 yrs older than I am. We were not very close growing up, but now we are all best friends.

I am generations apart from my sisters... or so it feels. I don't really know them, didn't grow up with them. My brother is 4 1/2 years older than me, my first sister is 9 years older and moved out when she was 18 (I was 9), my next sister is 14 years older than me and the oldest brother was 15 years older than me. He got married when I was 6. Whenever there were family get togethers I just kind of sat silently because they were all married and having children and I was just a teenager and had nothing in common with them. It took me a lot of years to catch up to them. My kids are the youngest in the family as all my nieces and nephews are over 18 so my kids don't want to go to family gatherings cuz there are no other kids there.
A perfect example why NOT to space your children too far apart. For my parents it really wasn't by choice as my mother had 3 miscarriages between each of her last 3 children.

My sisters are quite a bit older than I am, myself being 22 and my sisters being 30 and 28; sometimes I think I was a mistake...heheh. I get pretty jealous seeing my sisters with their husbands and kids, gives me something to look forward to I guess.

I have one sister. She is 4 1/2 years younger than I am. We were not close as children, but we are best friends now. I was too jealous of her when we were little. She was the baby and she was beautiful, smart, and talented. I felt inferior. It wasn't until I met my husband that I began to get over my jealousy. He made me feel special.

I dont have sisters but two elder brothers.One is 7 years and other is 2 years elder to me.This 7 years gap makes me elder brother easy to dominate me and my other brother in all aspects.he used to control us when my parents are away when we were kids.Now all of us grown up and have self respect but still he is much elder and still rules..
