How much age difference between you and your next closest sibling?

3 siblings who have 18 months in between each. Then I showed up 7 years later. Surprise!

Deceased sister 1956, living brother Sept 5th 1959, me, Oct 27 1961

It’s six years for me, but I’m surprised you gave options only up to three years. Gaps of 5, 10 or more years aren’t uncommon.

I’m the oldest. My sister is exactly 3 years minus 11 days younger than me. My brother is 10.5 yrs younger.

Closest, 3 years. Farthest, 16 years.

Siblings born in Mar 55, Jul, 56, Sep 57, Nov 58 (me), miscarriage, Oct 60, Apr 62, hysterectomy. Don’t know if mom lost one in 61 or not.

German Catholic. Dad said rhythm was spelled P-R-E-G-N-A-N-T.

Three sisters, 8 years, 11 years, 18.5 years older. My closest nephew is only 7.5 years younger!

Jewish, kids born in 1948, 1956, 1959 and me in 1967

Youngest by ten years.

I never realized how common until now! I’m surprised both at the large amount of >3y spacing and at the other extreme didn’t expect to find any <1y (except for twins).

Surprised the OPoster made the spread so small in her poll. +4 years older than my adoptive sister, +6 over my oldest birth sister.

I honestly didn’t know the spacing would be so wide so often.

Five years between me and older brother.

My brother was one year, fifty weeks younger.

My only sibling is nine years older.

Sister, 16 months, Brother, 22 months, Me, 23 months, Sister.

No, wait, there’s 34 months between me and my brother. I missed out an entire year.

My brother is 3 years younger than I, almost exactly; our birthdays are only 4 days apart.

7 years, 14 years.

I only have one sibling (brother), and I am older by 26 months.

11.5 months between me and my younger brother.
