Thinking of TTC - Huge age gap between children

[FrancesV83]

So.. I'm 35, husband is 40. I have an 8 year old son. He has a 21 year old son and 20 year old son (and his eldest has his own daughter!).
What are everyone's experiences on bigger age gaps between siblings?
Will my son bond well with a much younger brother/sister?

My niece was born 10 yrs after my brothers first daughter. Her mother also had 3 other children that were 21, 18 & 16 at the time.

Shes 10 yrs old now and in alot of ways has grown up as an only child. The other 4 kids had each other to play with, fight with and had to share and compromise with each other. Family days out, Christmas morning etc. All the normal things siblings go through growing up together and all the child hood memories. As they were so much older by the time she came along, they were off living their own lives and she hasnt really had the same up bringing. Shes used to playing on her own and never having to share. Its a different up bringing but not necessarily a bad one.

Her older siblings were not really around for the day to day life but she has been spoiled (in a good way) by them. They all love to take her out, buy her treats etc. Its not a conventional sibling relationship as they're in totally different life stages but im sure as she grows up they'll eventually be on an equal footing.

At 35 your young enough to start again so if you want another go for it.

Thank you for your response. My husbands children don't live with us but regularly visit so they'd certainly play a part in their life.
My son is so good with my step granddaughter that I'm hoping he'll enjoy having a sibling. He's just been an only child for so long it might be weird for him but he's such a loving child he'd be a brilliant big brother.
Bless you for calling me young, that's brightened my day!
