If your kids are 3/4 years apart in age, how do they get on?

[Pantheon]

Just curious as we're postponing ttc no 2 due to the current situation, so would probably be a 3 - 4 year age gap. In some ways I think this would suit us as a family anyway, but just wanted to know how close siblings are. Thanks!

3 yrs 9 months between my two.

They get on well. Now teenagers and squabble at times like they all do, but they’ve always got on pretty well.

DS is older and was very jealous when DD was first born, but he got over it within a couple of months. She absolutely adored him - from the moment she could smile and babble, she just wanted to watch him and see what he was up to. In turn I think this made DS feel special and they bonded quite quickly.

They’re currently gaming together next door and I can hear lots of laughter and only the odd ‘No, YOU shut up!’ .

3.5 year age gap between Dd and Ds.They've always been close although they did have the usual sibling disagreements when they were younger.They share the same sporting interests and have done these together and have gone on short holidays together.They live in different cities now and have their own partners but are still close and meet up when they can.I think it depends on personalities.

Another vote for personalities here.

My DDs are 6 and 9, they're 3 years and 9 months apart. They get on fabulously well 85% of the time with the rest reserved for bickering and tantrums.

DD1 is a nurturing sort who is happy to 'reach down' and play with the little ones, and DD2 is robust and confident and happy to 'reach up' and play with DD1.

Had they been the other way round, I'd have had a problem - I think if DD2 had been the eldest she would still want to 'reach up' which would have meant emulating teenage habits, while DD1 needed much more attention and support and was far more clingy, if she'd been the youngest then the gap would have seemed massive.

Mine are both currently 6 and under so early days I suppose but the eldest was almost 4 when their sibling was born.
They are very close, look for each other, play together and mother each other. It's very sweet so far.
I am aware that will probably change when they hit their teens.
They both have fairly similar personalities although younger def more dominant. They both enjoy doing the same things which helps.

I have 15,11 and 11 they get on really well obviously some days not so well. Even in lock down we've had minimal issue.
However my sibling has dc with similar age gap and they don't get on well at all.
I'd say mine have actually become even closer this last year as the Dt are starting to enjoy an overlap in TV programmes with Ds1. Dt1 particularly worships his older brother and will do anything to spend time together (even goes and helps on his paper round what ever the weather just to be with him (Ds1 occasionally uses this to his advantage!)
I think encouraging activities that they all enjoy has helped.

There is four years between my sister and I and we are very close.

3 years apart from my sibling and he's my very best friend ! Always has been
