Sibling bonding

It is amazing to see how well siblings can bond. It also reflects great parenting!! I am not saying that siblings that have issues had bad parenting, but I do believe it does have a factor in it. Sounds like your in parent heaven! Good luck with #3, I know several families that have a large number of kids and even when they have 7 or even 13 kids they all still get along famously.

I have a younder sister but we are almost 7 years apart. I mean we got along but my niece and my nephew seem to bond better because they are closer in age she is 4 and he is 1 he'll be 2 this August. They have their little fights but if my sister trys to punish my nephew my niece will say leave him alone he's still a baby.

Amazing, shock to know how children bond together....Truly Family situations under which I was brought show just enmity and just jealousy.......sometimes you fill so...lonely...

That is so lovely about your children how they're so closed to one another. In my siblings cases, we're 4 altogether with my elder sis and 2 more younger bros. We do have fun together and me and my sister as the ones who are more closed in our family also with the presence of our lovely mom whom we treat as our big sister in the house lol :-)

Yes, nothing is more pleasant to see than your kids getting along well. But sometimes, it cannot be avoided that they have a few squabbles here and there. I have 3 kids and they have their share of fights. But when I see them playing, I smile to myself. I picture them that when they grow up, they will be the best of friends.

i agree with you. i have an older brother and its sad becuase we dont get along with each other. i always wanted to have a brother or sister that i would lean and depend on. thats why im always envy seeing siblings that get along, having fun adn spending time with each other... if i could only turn back time...

It is so wonderful to see your children playing and interacting so well with each other - but do be prepared - they will have their fights too , no matter how much they love each other! My kids fight sometimes but when I give one a row the other one sticks up for them! xxx

I have 16, 13, 2, & 10 months. The 16 & 13 yr old fight constantly when in the same room together. I wish for once they would get along...at least for one whole day to give me some peace. Then I have the 2 yr old and 10 month old that are usually together, but my 2 yr old is mean to him. He won't let him play with toys, he takes everything away from him. He tackles him to the ground and lays on him. Pulls his hair, hits him, kicks him, knocks him over....and the list continues. I am on my toes constantly unless they are napping and I sound like a broken record. Be nice to bubbers, you can't hit him, you can't lay on him...you can't do this or that...over and over... Now that the baby is starting to walk I think it will be a little different. I have noticed my 2 yr old starting to play a little better with him and allowing him some toys. I think once the baby gets going a little better on his feet them 2 will bond better and be like twins almost. I am hoping anyway. I think you got lucky with your kids, usually the toddler will be jealous and tend to hurt the baby as in what I go through. Hopefully your baby will do the same as your son and bond with the new baby.
