My brother and I were 4 years apart and not close growing up. We became closer once he was college age. But that may be because we were different sexes too. I always felt like it was too far apart a gap. I always said I didn't want my kids to remember life before siblings. I remember him coming home and not being at all impressed - lol. But once again our personalities may have been a big factor.
I can't speak about my own kids because I wanted them close together. They are 20 months apart and 2 years apart.

I'm four years older than my sister.
We are very close now but our relationship is very different than the one she has with my youngest sister (3 years apart).
Our age gap was big enough that we weren't ever in school together. I am much more maternal towards her than friend/peer towards her.

My niece and nephew are four and a half years apart, and though they're still young, I know it's been great that she has so much independence and can be a real helper while he is super little and needy.
My husband and his sister are, I think, five years apart, and they are very close, both now and growing up. Meanwhile, my brother and I are closer in age (just over three years), but we do not have a close relationship at all, and never have. I think it has much more to do with personality and interests than a specific age gap.

My older sister and I are 4 years apart and we have always gotten along really well and she is still my best friend. We did used to wis we were closer in age so we could have done more things together and had more mutual friends but it hasn't hurt our relationship at all (and I have always gotten along with her much better than with my 3 year younger sister who I was in high school with). I think it's much more personality than age gap. I know my sister never really had any resentment over the new baby because she was excited to have a new baby to "take care of".

My brother and I are exactly 4 years apart, and we never got along and hardly talk to each other now. However, we were raised completely different so I attribute our distance to that.

My brother and I are four year apart and we are fairly close. Growing up we fought because I always wanted to be included in his things but I was really too young. And as teenagers of course we didn't get along. But once we stopped living together we got really close because I think we realized we actually have a lot of common interests, we just couldn't live together!

My DH's younger brothers are 4 years apart and they are BFFs! My DH and his middle brother are only 2 years apart and not nearly as close as the younger two. I think most of it is due to personality and interests - the younger two are much more similar to each other than either is to my DH.
