There is a 15 year age gap between my oldest and youngest, and 8 years between oldest and middle and 7 between middle and youngest. They all get on like a house on fire.

Would you be paying £1000s towards the eldests university at the same time a childcare for a preschooler?

Very disruptive for the teenager, but they'd essentially be raised separately, in different generations.

True ..

16 years between my brother and I and I love him to bits, much closer to him than my sister who is only 2 years younger

I'd not, just thinking of the older one in the middle of exam years with a newborn in the house. It'd be disruptive for them.

True

I've got 12 years. They are the best of friends and holiday together with their DHs. I don't think 15 is much different.

Thank you. I’m inclined to agree
