Growing up I was not close to my sibling. As adults we spend years without seeing each other. We talk on the phone a couple of times a year.
My 5 year old and 3 year old are very close. DH and I encourage the bond that they have. We never compare or show favourites. We encourage them to share and respect boundaries. They each have special teddies that they do not share. They also have separate interests and activities. They are not together all the time.
I would really like them to maintain that bond growing up. I can’t help thinking that some day DH and I will die. It would be wonderful for them to still have each other.
Can anyone offer any advice?
