one of my friend has a brother who is 15 years older than him,such a huge age diference between real brothers ,i think this is just an example of bad family planning .my friend is treated by his elder brother as a kid,they do not have that kind of fun as i and my brother have ,they never talk about girls,never go to watch movies together, infact my friend is somewhat afraid of his brother ,he feels releived and free when his brother his outdoors.do u think this kind of family planning is nice according to u wat kind of family planning must be followed

Well, I have a brother wich is 12 years older than me, but there is another brother and two sisters between us(five in total), maybe it's a very different family, I get along with my brother just as if he was my age or viceversa, we do all kinds of things together like watching movies, fixing the car, or sometimes play video games, maybe we are too old for that, but, we like it anyway.

yes, i agree that family planning is important. it does depend on what you want, though. for instance, i am not having anymore kids pass a certain age. i don't think that you should have kids past 30. it's still young enough to have kids, but as the kids gets older...you will be old. i wouldn't want to be raising kids in my 60's. i know some people who are and they regret it. i could tell that if you have a kid that is 15 years older than the other, the parents decide to have kids when they were older. when you do that, it's not like you have an older sibling and younger sibling. it's like your brother could be your father. he is almost in a totally different generation. it would be impossible to understand each other like siblings. they did not grow up together. i think the farthers you should spread kids apart is 7 years. after you reach 30 (and u r a woman) hang up the bootz, and chill untill your ready to be a grandma.
