Congrats!

From the experience of being the gap kid (though I'm just half of yours--11 years younger than my closest sibling), the first couple of life stages he'll see you more as another adult and less as a brother; but when you both get older that'll change. I'm good friends with my siblings now that I'm in my mid 30s and they're inching closer to 50. I started to see my siblings more as actual siblings once I started to move beyond my teenage years.

It seems more like you'd see them as aunts and uncles if you never grew up with them. I guess you have parents in common and perhaps some principles in how you were raised, but I would think that the parents would change after 10 or 20 years, so even that would be somewhat different.

But what do I know about it? I have one sibling who's less than two years different in age.

Well, in my gap situation, I came pretty much right in the center... 11/12 years between me and my sibs, 12 years between me and the start of the grandkids.

On the one hand, I sometimes felt like an only child, on the other hand like I was a big bro to my nieces and nephews (4/5 of which are out of high school, and two married)...

It's hard to describe how it feels, b/c it's out of the norm of what a lot of people experience, yet it's also my "normal". I can tell by watching others my relationship with my sibs is different; but it's also closer than friend or aunt/uncle. Same is true with me and my nieces and nephews--it's almost more sibling like than normal.

Us gap kids are weird, but it's also fun (at least when you have good older sibs like I do)...

My parents had 2 in their early 40s. Boy and a girl, 31 and 30.

I'm 44, I couldn't imagine having a newborn now.

I'm happy that you're happy. I don't think I would be.

Meh, things go through your mind (perhaps a little like when you're having kids at 18...), but there's a LOT more upside to it than risk, so it helps to keep you young. And it sure as heck makes meetings with 24-year-old elementary school teachers kind of fun.

It's all good, I just find working with kids very much more awesome than dealing with parents and all their Mama-Drama. It's odd, the longer I work with 50-somethings the more I realize that 10-somethings are often cooler, but the excuses are pretty-much the same...
