My brother and sisters were 7,8, and 12 years older than me. It wasn't that great for me. they were stuck babysitting me and were quite mean at times. Mean to the point where I swore that I would never have my oldest babysit for my youngest. Plus, my sisters were pal together and leave out. the other issue was I got more because I was the only one left. This sounds like a story for Medium doesn't it? My two boys are 7 years apart and they don't have a thing in common.
