Mine will play good w/ each other some days... but then there are others where they are just at each others throats, I just seperate them or I make them sit on the couch and hold hands
Big age gap between children/siblings?

OMG! That was the WORST punishment my mom could do to my bro and I (3 years apart)! And if he squeezed my hand hard or something of the sort she'd add time!

My kids are 11, 3 (for just 3 more days) and 2. So there's a bit of an age gap. My oldest is actually a huge help 90% of the time. The 3 y/o adores his big brother and thinks that they should be equal and spend all their time together - this causes issues sometimes with the oldest. I think that would happen no matter the age difference though b/c my sister that is 2 years younger than me irked my nerves to no end at times when we were growing up b/c she always had to tag along - we were friends most of the time but everyone needs their own space every now and then. My 11 y/o never had “only child syndrome” so while it was still an adjustment to have 2 younger siblings - he welcomed them

OMFG. This is one that I haven't tried. This will be my next strategy. If that doesn't work I'll be trying Pete's.

There will be a 7, almost 8 year difference between mine. My sister is 6 years older than me, my brother is 9 years and my other sister is 10 years older.... I love them all and I don't ever remember any resentment from any of them. We're all still close even though there are miles between us.

Hubby is 7 years older than his bro. They get along, but they aren't as close as me and my siblings are.
I sometimes wonder about hubby's kids if we had a child together. The youngest is now 4, so likely the baby would be at least 6 or 7 years older, plus they're at their mom's house half the time. :shrug: I wonder if our child together would feel sort-of like an only child. :shrug:

they are pricey. for an economical solution go with the shock collar for medium size dogs.

In My Opinion
When I was in Virginia beach I had one of those anti bark collars on my dog. If he barked, he got shocked, was supposed to train him to STFU. didnt work.
BUT we had a party one night and one of the guys that was there passed out from drinking.
sooooo,, off came the dogs bark collar, and onto the friend it went.
then I went outside and knocked on the door.
SOB took out the coffee table, an end table and two dining room chairs while trying to get out of the house.
dog loved it, the taco dip plate hit the floor,, and wall, and somehow a bit of the ceiling.
the more he jumped around, the more the dog barked...
I loved that dog.

I have 22 years older then my youngest sister. I was fine with it! She is 6 months older then my son. Shes adopted though but still shes my sister.
It worked on our mother whenever she started to talk about sex with her boyfriend. The point is to use a method that signifies displeasure and non-acceptance of bad behavior...
I am the oldest of 5 children.
There is a 9 year difference between my youngest siblings and myself. They are twins and my sister and I are very close and always have been. Then again, all 5 of us have a very strong bond between us. 5 kids in 9 years is not too much time at all...
My parents said 3 was a crowd, so tried for another and had twins.
My neighbor also has 5 kids but hers range in age from 22 years old to 4 years old.
My kids are 6 [July birthday] and 4 year old twins, who will be 5 in April.

Same with my oldest sister but we're very close, you would think the opposite. Actually close to all of them, I guess it really depends on the family :shrug:
