My sister was born when I was 25. 9 years on she is now an aunt to my 2 children aged 5 and 4 months. She was also born an aunt to my step-brother's daughter who wil be 12 this year. Anyone have similar family set up?

mum was 46 when she had me. I have a brother 16 yrs older and twin sisters 14 yrs older than me.
I had my last child at 39, when my older children were aged 16 and 14.
I have 6 nieces and 1 nephew who are between 10 and 14 years younger than I am. Their children my great nieces and nephews are the same age my youngest daughter.
No wonder I'm just called AuntieGrin

Nothing as interesting as you ladies but.

my gt Aunt is 11yrs older than my mum, who is 11yrs older than her cousin who is 11yrs older than my sister.

My cousin is 11yrs older than me, I am 11yrs older than her son, he is 11yrs older than my son.

Another of her sons is 11yrs younger than another of our cousins, she is 11yrs older than my youngest nephew.

And another of her sons (she has 5 lol) is 11yrs older than my eldest nephew

Same cousins youngest son is 11yrs older than my youngest son.

very odd family I have with the span of age gaps lol suppose thats what happens with a big family, I have cousins ranging from 80 down to babies.

Wow, such age gaps in some of these! Can't get my head round some of them!

Just to redress the balance! My siblings are the opposite. Eldest brother 50, me 49, sister 48, brother 46, youngest brother 44.

On telling her class of 11 year olds that I had had a baby one lad said to my sister "thats so exciting my nan had a baby last week". The mind boggles Grin
