Siblings

[ETphonehome77]

My daughters are 2 and a half years apart in age. The eldest is 16 and the other 13. Although they are on different wavelengths in maturity they never really hang out or even have much interaction at home. They were v close when they were younger but now my eldest has very little interaction with her sibling and no patience with her at all. I find this hard as a mum. Is this normal?

Yes perfectly normal

Perfectly normal they will come together again when the little one is 17 or 18 🙏

My sister’s 4 years younger so a slightly bigger gap, but I wanted nothing to do with her when we were kids. Things started improving once I’d left for university & nowadays we’re so close that we go on holiday together, just the two of us.

We both just needed to grow up.
