Mine are 11 1/2 years a part. My older son wasn’t that interested until his brother could start playing. It is nice
So helpful! They still have a ton of fun together.
My sister and I are 10 years apart and we are very close.
My son and daughter are 12 years apart, he adores her and she him. They have a great relationship.
My oldest is 27, then 17, then my littlest 4. Will be 5 in Nov. The older ones love their littlest sibling
I’m 11 yrs older than my brother we r now 50 n 39 there were never any rifts
My boys are 13 and 3 amd LOVE eachother. X
I have two step daughters 16 & 12 with my fiancé and I have a son from another relationship who is 9, fiancé and I just had our baby in January, he’s 8 months now. All the kids love him & despite the age gaps they all have their own special relationship with him and each other. It’ll be ok 
as long as those kids know this baby is a loving addition and not there to take their place they’ll warm to the idea of expanding the family!
My kids are 6 and a half years apart, and it went great when they were little. I had time to enjoy both their baby years at a different time. It will be an adjustment for you both, but eventually, it will work out, and they will get along.
I have 2 girls that are 10 years apart. I had my 10 yr old take a babysitting class at the hospital. When the baby got a bit older I’d let her watch her for an hour or less while I ran to the store. We paid her to do this so she wouldn’t b mad being left with her. We really made an effort to give both equal time. They’re best pals now at 34 and 24.

Me and my oldest sibling are 18 years apart. The smallest gap is my sister before me which is 7 years, we are close. 10 years isn’t too bad. My oldest sister is almost 40 now so we aren’t as close. I’m almost 23.
My sister and I are ten years apart and it helped cause I was able to help with her so much
Actuall I have a 12 and 2 year old. Noah is a wonderful help with jaxton when I’m trying to prep dinner. Reguardless that Noah is autistic he’s great with his little brother…don’t be worried be sooooo excited!!! And congradulations!!!
My oldest and youngest are 18 yrs apart 
I have a 13 12 and almost 2 year old. I was frightened about the age gap but in all honesty his older brothers genuinely love him and want to help me with him…
They’re old enough to appreciate what our bodies go through to bring a little human into the world before their very eyes.
Personally I felt like they grew up as baby grew inside of me…
Their maturity kicked in and they were more helpful without being asked or told.
This.may not be the case for others but this is my story and to you I say
#YouGotThisMama❤
And
#Congratulations:baby:
My eldest is 20, my middle child is ten and my youngest is 3. It wasn’t planned to have such a big age gap, my middle and youngest have a good bond. I enjoy it has I’ve been able to put time into each and every one and have been able to enjoy their baby years

She loves her sister. My oldest is now 11 (also have a 9yr old) and an 19m old (my oldest two have a 5yr old sister also and a brother due this month) I dont make her or my 9yr old do anything they don’t wanna do. It was easy. No rifts or anything.
I have a 17 and a 7 yr old my oldest is extremely helpful to the seven-year-old they do fight from time to time but the age difference is actually such a great difference that the maturity levels are different and the oldest doesn’t fight with the youngest too often
My son is 10 my daughter 17 months…my son is a great help with her still never had any issues
My baby is 10 younger than his sister and 15 than his brother. They are close to him and adore him. It’s no ones business. I can’t imagine having them all together.
My oldest boy is 13. My youngest boy is 9 months. My 13yo isn’t particularly interested in the baby, but he will be in a couple years… he will make the perfect wingman
I don’t have a 10 year age gap but I have a 6 year one between my 1st and 2nd and there’s a 8 year one between my 1st and 3rd and honestly my eldest helps take care of his brothers, he’s so loving towards them and plays with my middle one all the time, I prefer the big age gap rather than the small one I have with my youngest too Cos it’s all hands on deck with a toddler and 3 month old lmao least when my eldest was 6 I wasn’t having to run round after a toddler Cos he was chilled 
My mom got pregnant with my only sibling when I was 15. At first, I wasn’t too thrilled about it but once she got here, she became my best friend and has shaped me into the mother I am today. I couldn’t imagine life without her

I have kids10 yrs apart and it’s great! I also have a sister 12 yrs younger than myself we are super close and I can’t imagine life without her
My parents had me first and then my sister when I was 12 and my brother when I was 15. It was hardest when I was 12 but at 10 I would have been excited.
Mine are 21, 17, 15, almost 6 and 4. It’s different and at times it’s been hard but it does work & I wouldn’t change it.
I’m ten yrs from my oldest sister (we are all 5 yrs apart but 10yrs for me and the oldest) and honestly I’ve ALWAYS had a bond with her and ALWAYS try to keep that bond going. We only ever argued once or twice EVER that I can remember. I will say she hurt my feelings in her teens and twenties due to “living her own life” and made promises she never kept BUT we still have a GREAT relationship and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Me and my other sister five yrs apart fought tooth and nail because I ALWAYS wanted to be with her and her friends and I was the youngest who caused all the fights lol BUT now that we’re older we have a great relationship too. 
it’ll all work out.

I have 3 spaced out like that. Its not bad. You get a refresh on all the cute little things you forget about!
My boys are 21 and 20, my daughter is 12. They were excited when she arrived and were mostly helpful with her. She grew up with 2 older brothers and their friends. She’s a big ole tomboy some days! Her brothers are protective of her. Now, it’s like she’s an only child because they are grown.
There are 10 years between my daughter and my youngest son. She wasn’t thrilled when we told her she wouldn’t be the youngest anymore. Then she really wasn’t thrilled when she found out we were having a boy. She’s the only girl of five kids. Once he was born, she fell in love. She’s his biggest protector.
I have three 2 girls and 1 boy. My 1st daughter and my third son are 18 years a part. All three get along Awesome. And I got to spoil each one for quite awhile when they were little. Do it all again if I had to.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. My daughter has a 14 year old boy and a 3 year old boy. A surprise pregnancy after trying for 10 years and losing a baby before…It has been a blessing…Good luck…
I have a 7 year gap between my oldest and middle, and an 11 year gap between my oldest and youngest. She is amazing with both of them! She is a huge help too!
Mine are 17 years apart
Mine are 8 years apart and honestly I love it. They don’t really fight and she’s like a second mother figure to him. He adores her. She protects him. It was really difficult when she went away for university. This is something to consider that she could very well be moved out and having kids of her own and he will still love at home.
Mine are 8 years apart. They couldn’t love and respect each other more. They’re now 28 and 20. The only thing they argued about was the bathroom after school 
Our 11 yo is kicking ass at being a big sister to our 9 mo. So fun that she can help and be involved rather than feeling jealous. It’s been awesome.
I have a 14 year old boy and an 11 year old boy and had my baby 8 weeks ago.
I was so worried about how my 11 year old would go because he was my ‘baby’ for 11 years. I was worrying over nothing he has been an angel and already showing an amazing bond with the baby. Even my 14 year old does as well (I honestly thought he would be ‘too cool’ to chill with the baby). Both boys will come pick up the baby and have random cuddles without being asked. They have been fantastic.
Good luck
My oldest brother us 13 years older than I am, the second to oldest was 9 years old than me and I am 7 years older than my little brother. I’m the last birth child for my parents. Mom definitely said that it was more difficult for labor and delivery. But as for relationships between the kids there will be ups and downs… but in the end all of us have a good time getting together.
My oldest daughters are 9 years apart. The older one adored her baby sister until she started getting into her stuff. New babies get a lot of attention. Make sure the older one gets a lot of attention as well. Keep back some little gifts for her, as the baby will get a lot of gifts. Make opportunities for a baby sitter so each of you can have special time with you. Best wishes on a safe delivery of a healthy happy baby!
My first is 17, middle 10 and baby is 2. They do not get along and fight constantly.
My 1st and 2nd was 14 1/2 years apart.
My youngest and eldest are 9 years apart they have there moments but not to bad xx
I was 17 when my borther was born. I wasn’t thrilled. Hes 10 now and im 28. We still have a hard time getting along lol. I was an only child for 17 years tho

My sister is 8 years older than me and we are soo close!! We weren’t super close when i was younger but by the time i was in 8th grade is when we started getting really close and have always been that way ever since.
My 11 yr old fights with my 3 year old like they are the same age but she will do anything for her. My 3 year old follows my 15 year old around like a shadow and they are the closest of all 4 of my kids. & my only son, 13 is her protector and her go to when everyone else says no to her lol I was so anxious about the age difference when I found out I was pregnant but they have always been so much help and love the heck out of their baby sister.
They will still beat the shit out of each other. 10 years does NOT cancel sibling rivalry.
Also, don’t force her to be a live in babysitter. It just breeds resentment.
We had four daughters. Our eldest was 22 when our youngest was born.
Each one was a blessing, and the three oldest adored their baby sister. She is still adored by them!
I have 4 daughters 23, 19, 18, and a 8 year old …my oldest adores the youngest my middle (19) tolerates her and my 18 year old absolutely hates her so yea , its all over the place here:grimacing:
I was 15 when my little brother was born. I was so selfish and anti the whole situation but I ended up going the birth and even at 15 I thought it was so magical. Life changed after that, he became my world still is haha. And he’s the best uncle to my daughter. He’s 11 now and she’s 18 months!

My little sister is 10 years younger then me. I love her, she was my baby doll lol. I played with her and took care of her. We are very close.
Mine are 7 years and it’s great. They adore each other and my son is super helpful with ‘his princess’…sometime it gets tough giving him the attention and time he needs because I am so busy with a now one year old but we try to make special time with him.

My daughter is 21 and my son is 9. I love it. He lives to go stay the night at sissys house. It was a blessing having them that gar apart even though it wasnt planned that way
Well as someone with an older sister whos 10 years older i can say it never went great personally. My sister has a lot of mental health issues and growing up with her wasnt always fun. We were in two completely different worlds through my entire childhood abd could never relate to eachother.
My kids are 12 years apart.my daughter is 13 yrs old and my son 16 months.she is like a second mother to my son.both have a good time.I feel i am blessed😇
My oldest girls are almost 20 and 15 and my son is 14 months. The bond my oldest and youngest have is beautiful. I was nervous as well but its been great
I’m 10 years older then my brother who is now 16 and 14 years and a day older then my sister who just turned 12!! And I’m supper close to both and have always been…they come to my house to stay and we go out and do things together all the time!!
I have 3 siblings 10~11 years younger than me and I love them more than anything I do feel as if I missed out with growing up with them and now I’m married and having my own babies and they are just 15&16 still home and don’t even remember me living at home, but they do come stay with us here and there. But I love them and remember them being babies and I love that too!
My oldest son is 14 and my daughter is 4. He absolutely loves her and is amazing with her! He gets along with her better than he does his brother that is 8! Lol
My father just had a son this year and I was his baby. We are 27 years apart. I think it will be fine. Lol
My kids are almost 15, 13 & 2 this month!
At first my oldest was upset with our surprise pregnancy, but this has been a life changing experience for everyone for the better!
She has provided sooo much joy and has shown my older kids all of the responsibilities that being a parent entails.
Our youngest is the missing puzzle piece that our family needed & an absolute blessing❤️

I am 15 years older than my youngest sister. I have to say helping take care of her definitely helped me transition to motherhood easier when I had my first.
