My brother and his wife are expecting. Their LO will be 2 years younger than my youngest LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings/page/2#post-2335590 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:58:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2335590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 4 siblings, but only 2 of them will ever have children. They are young so I don't expect either of them to have kids for another decade.</p> <p>DH's siblings are probably all going to start having kids within the next couple years. I'm looking forward to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335583 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:56:01 +0000 Thrifty Mama 2335583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one younger sister, she's 22. She's been in a relationship for 6 years , but she doesn't want kids. She's great with DS, but she's more of a business oriented type of person, not a parent type. Which is okay with me, seeing as how I'm happy if she's happy. My husband has a brother and sister and his sister already has 4 kids, so DS has cousins on that side :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335567 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:51:39 +0000 ineebee 2335567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older brother isn't married. We're also super close, so it would've been awesome if the cousins could be close in age. BIL is married but they're probably a few years away from having kids. :( DS is 7mo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335565 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:51:17 +0000 PawPrints 2335565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has no cousins right now and that probably won't change for a few years at least. I do hope she gets some eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335561 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 11:50:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2335561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doesn't and she won't for a long time b/c she is 7 yrs younger than me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335436 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:44:26 +0000 LindsayLou 2335436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, no. We're doubtful that DH's older sister will have kids, but still hope for everyone's sake that she does-- she wants them, but has medical issues that would make it difficult and is recently single. My two younger brothers, 22 and 25, are still a few years out. The 25 year old just ended a 5 year relationship but wants kids before he's 30. I'm hopeful that he'll be having kids or close to it by the time we have our second, in 2 ish years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335410 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:31:19 +0000 autumnlove 2335410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a niece and another on the way that live nearby.</p> <p>My bro is getting married next year but he is 7. Hours away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335394 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:24:47 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2335394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of mine currently has kids who are a few years older. We just had our first, but I hope they will be close and play together once ours is old enough! Living in the same town definitely helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335369 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:14:12 +0000 yin 2335369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters are 9+ years older than me, and we ended up having kids around the same time. My LO is the oldest but only by 4.5 months. My nieces are 4, 3, and almost 1 years old. We live only 20 minutes away, and we get together for birthdays and holidays. My kids are closest with my 3 year old niece, and we have play dates often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335319 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:47:18 +0000 rachiecakes 2335319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have my brother. He does have a daughter who's a year older than J. We don't get to see her though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335317 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:45:37 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2335317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has an older married brother. No kids yet. They will TTC in a couple years poissbly. Or maybe never. They are career focused. He has a younger sister that is single. No kids. </p> <p>I have two younger siblings both single as well. I need to just make siblings since cousins seem a long way off, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335292 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:27:45 +0000 birdofafeather 2335292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the only grandkid(s) now and my SIL is ttc now so we'll see when they have a LO. My siblings and my other SIL are years away from kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335282 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:23:48 +0000 Adira 2335282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother doesn't have any kids, but my SIL does. One is 7 years older than Xander, but the other is only 6 months older! They get along really well and love playing with each other. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335261 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:10:09 +0000 regberadaisy 2335261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I have two older brothers. My niece and nephews are (2) 12, 9 and 3. They live 8 hours away but we're very close. The older one loves them so much! She is crazy when they're together.</p> <p>DH has two nieces, 8 &amp; 6 and my daughters love them too.</p> <p>DH and I are both so happy she loves them so much despite the distance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335238 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:57:40 +0000 RsMom 2335238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister has two girls that are 2 yrs and 4 months. My DS1 is 3.5 and DS2 if due in January so they are all really close in age. They live on the other side of the country so we only get to see them once a year :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335237 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:56:58 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2335237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother's kids are 14,11, and 6 and they live far away so we only see them once or twice per year. </p> <p>My sister's twins are 10 months older than my LO and they are 25 min away so we see them a couple times per month. </p> <p>DH's niece is 29 and his nephew is 4, but they live in another country so we only see them once per year. He has 7 siblings, but only 3 are married/in relationships so we expect a few more cousins in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335236 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:56:24 +0000 sslm 2335236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 1 sister, 4 years older. She has 2 kids, an almost 6yo daughter and an almost 1yo son. DD is 2.5. She's super close to my niece but I can see her being really close to my nephew once he's a little older and able to be a better playmate :)</p> <p>Our LO2 will be about 1.5 years younger than my nephew, so I'm hoping they'll be close too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335223 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:49:45 +0000 Mamasig 2335223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My younger brother has two kids that are 4 and 6. We see them maybe 6 times a year? My kids are 1 and 3. My sister has two kids that are 13 and 15. My boys adore them and they are so good with my babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335216 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:45:03 +0000 Torchwood 2335216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is 16 and brother is 13, so no and that better not change! DH's twin sister has a 4yo, but they live 9 hours away. His brothers don't have any (that we know of- the one has been accused of being the dad at least once), and other than accidents from the one I don't see that changing possibly ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335210 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:42:31 +0000 petunia354 2335210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters kids are 8 and 4, and they looooove DS! I :heart: seeing the three of them together! My brother's wife is due in January so DS and him/her will be 3 years apart. I can't wait for there to be another baby in the family and to see how DS reacts, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335204 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:38:48 +0000 MoreCoffee 2335204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother's boys are 2 years older and 6 weeks younger than DS.

DH is an only child, so my kids have no first cousins :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335190 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:26:22 +0000 Mrs D 2335190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two sisters (2 and 4 years old than me). Our kids go as follows:</p> <p>Nephew 4.5 (oldest sisters ds)<br /> DD#1 26 months<br /> Niece 22 months (middle sister dd)<br /> Nephew .5 months (middle sister ds)<br /> DD#2 due March</p> <p>So they are relatively close in age. Its pretty fun right now when we have family get togethers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335188 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:25:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 2335188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my older sister has two girls: 8 &amp; 5. My younger sister has a girl &amp; a boy: 4 &amp; 2. My girls are 3 &amp; 7 months. So they are all bam bam bam, one of us was pregnant every year for 5 years hahaha :) </p> <p>My oldest niece had a hard time adjusting to me being a mom because I was the "cool aunt" who took them to do the fun stuff, so when I had mom duties she would get jealous. She also is hitting the age where all the other kids are "babies" to her and she doesn't really have a playmate, that's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335185 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:24:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2335185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two older siblings both have 4 year old boys, but both live 4-5 hour drive away. My older sister is my best friend and our kids love each other- they only see each other a few times a year but we do FaceTime a lot and they actually seem to really love each other. It makes me so happy. </p> <p>I have two younger sisters, one is married and will prob have kids in the next few years. The other wants to get married and have kids but hasn't met the right guy yet. </p> <p>DH has two younger brothers. One lives locally and has been living with his GF for a while, probably will get engaged soon then kids within the next several years. Other is single and lives cross country. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-siblings#post-2335184 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:24:02 +0000 Charm54 2335184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my sisters is married and has a 7mo. I'm hoping she will be really close to my two girls! My other sisters and DHs sister are not married </p>
