I was going to make this a poll when I discovered that there is no poll feature here on OSP...or am I just missing it?

Anyway, I was discussing with my wife the possiblity of a third child ("No way, Jose" was her response). It got us to talking about the dynamics between siblings being dependent on the number of siblings, the gender makeup and how far apart they are spaced.

I am the oldest of three boys. The next oldest is 18 months younger while the youngest is almost nine years my junior. We all get along great, and my youngest brother actually keeps me youthful.

How about the rest of yaz?

I am the oldest of three... a middle boy and a younger girl. The youngest is 10 years younger than me, and all my life I have felt more like her mom than her sister. She is like an only child...

We have two... a boy and a girl, three years apart... and we are done!!

I have a brother who is four years older than me...but people say I act like the oldest...not sure if that's a compliment or not???

p.s. The poll button should be in the upper right area...but maybe it's not available to all members...I'll go and see if I can activate that!

Hey Floyd,

I have an older brother that's 2 1/2 years older than I am. I think it's great that you want to have another child! (Coming from someone who wishes that she could be fertile myrtle ) If I could...I would have as many children as possible...kinda like in Cheaper by the Dozen. I LOVE KIDS.

Hey guys this is a great topic for me
I am the oldest of 6!
My brother is 15
My sister is 13
My brother is 10
My other brother is 7
And my other sister is 1 almost 2(which would make me 16 years older than her!)

I echo Katherine- I want to have 12 kids!!

I am the oldest of 2. My brother is 3 years younger than me.

Oooh! oooh! I'm the oldest in my clan of 5 brothers (my poor mom if you all only knew what we've put her through) anyhoo, I have no sisters.

Me- 35yrs.
bro.- 34
bro.- 33
bro.-26
bro.-23

Currently my wife & I have 3 childeren (2 girls 13yrs. & 10yrs., 1 son 6 yrs.) with our 4th being formed in her womb as we speak, she is a little over 2 months, she says this child is our last one. We shall see.

If it was all up to me, I'd be happy to have as many kids as possible.
We Mexicans love big familias, aye, we have to secure our future dynasty.

I have a younger sister (2 years) and Chris is an only child. Four years ago, I wanted 4 kids - now, I think two will suffice. Chris still wants 10 kids.
