I was 10 and my older brother was 12 when my little brother was born. We had a lot of fun with him, but it's definitely a different type of sibling experience. I changed his diapers, taught him how to tie his shoes and ride a bike, was his babysitter so even disciplined him when necessary. So not too old, but for the older ones they might end up acting like little aunts and uncles.

I still think he's fun, he's 24 now and loves to tell me how old I am...but he also lights up when I walk into a room. :)

I think that aslong as your in good health and your partner is then age between your children is not a big issue. Even if your children are to old to play with the baby there plently.play groups but it only.going to be roughly 4 years difference. Between me n my sister theres 4years and were more like best friends and we share friends but admittingly my other sister 7years older were not close but only because shes not as out going. If its something you both want go for it. Sorry for any typo my phones stupid

I believe that if you are healthy I don't think that it should be a problem. Howevee i knowget where youryou coming from. I am 25 (not the oldest either) and my youngest sister is 6. Now that is quite an age difference and my parents get a lot of strange looks. But I wouldn't change it for the world.

I am 35 and my fiance is 35 I have 2 daughters with my ex husband my oldest just turned 18 and my youngest will be 11 in July. My fiance has 2 boys 11 and 9 and we are expecting a boy in June. My girls are 7 years apart and extremely close and very excited for their baby brother. I'm a little worried I'm not as young to keep up with this one but very excited. I say if you both want one go for it.
