I got 2 kids, my older child is a girl she's 5 years old. My 2nd child is a boy and he's 3 yrs. I can see and feel that they are very close to each other and really takes care and show concern to one another. Of course they do fight and if they do it seems like they also want to kill each other haha. You know children. Today my daughter left with her dad to visit my dad-in-law coz it's his birthday. Since the trip is quite expensive we decided that my husband will just bring 1 child. He took our daughter with him coz she's low maintenance already as she's quite big now. We drove them to the airport earlier and my 2 kids embraced each other so tight and it seems like they are not going to see each other again. My daughter keeps kissing her brother and telling him to take care and be a good boy. My son also embraces his sister so tight. Now I can really feel his loneliness as this is the first time that they have separated. He keeps on saying that he is sad and he misses his sister. What about your children how's their relationship with one another?
I am missing my daughter now. ;(

I have had a daughter already. so I can't share my experience to you. but I think my daughter will get difficulties to have interaction with others cos she tends to be spoiled and what she wants she must get it at once. so if I decide to have child again, I'm afraid she can't accept this.

Maybe you can still do something about her. Who is spoiling her most of the time? Maybe you can ask that person not to do it coz you might have a problem to deal with it if it would continue to be like that. It's not easy to deal with spoiled children. I hope you'll be able to find solution to this. Goodluck.

Honestly I don't really think any child is "cool" with having a sibling because then that means that they have to "share the spotlight". My oldest was really really excited about being a big sister, BUT once I had her sister and she realized how her life was changing because of it then it took a while for her to adjust but now she's used to it and loves her sister! My youngest will be 5 months soon and I would say about the first 2 months or so were the roughest getting my oldest to adjust and be okay with having a sister!

Obviously a nice discussion I have a chance to say something about my kids. I have only one child (boy)I live in a Joint quarter in front of my flat one of my colleague has a child(girl) another colleague has a child(boy)all there are very close. If one of them make sound rest two will must do that. But it true that sometimes they fight with each other. After all KIDS.

It's nice that even you only got an only child it seems like he's not too with the presence of your colleague's children. I hope that they'll gonna continue their friendship for a long time.

I have 2 girls! My oldest girl will be 4 in June, and my youngest will be 5 months on the 7th! My oldest really seems to love her little sister! She kisses her on the forehead all the time, she helps with diaper changes, she tries to make her smile all the time and when I was pregnant with my 4 month old she was so excited about being a big sister!
When I took my youngest to get her first set of shots at 3 months my oldest came with us and she cried when my youngest cried from the needles!
It was so sweet, and that makes me believe that they are going to be really close! my youngest is still to "fragile" for my oldest to bond with because she can't walk, talk, or do any of those kinds of things yet!

I have a 3 year old girl and a 9 year old boy! My kids are very close. They love each other so much. It gives me such hope to see such pure love. Like yours mine fight as well but, them being mad at each other never last.

I agree with you. This is the best example of unconditional love.

My boys are like that. They are 10 and 8, and are lost when one is gone. Last year my oldest spent two nights away on a school trip, and I his brother missed him more than we did. He kept wanting to know when Josh was coming home, or could we go get him. I told him that he would see him before we did, since he was returning back to the school. Now, when they are home together, it is non stop fighting. They can not stand each other, and wishes the other would go away.

Haha you're children are funny. But I think that's very normal to fight and become best of friends again.

Hi Rajaiv,
Same with i have two sons. The eldest is 13 years old and the youngest is 9 years old. they are both special kids. they have autism. they are consistent in being so protective and caribng with each other. everytime we go out, both of them want to be together. they don't want one of them to be left home. they shared music, computer and movies/tv programs. they're not so mcuh on toys. they love computer and music. they're able to establish a positive and caring bond for each other that made us even so proud of them!
