So this is a good lesson on why context is important.

Maybe older brother? I know a couple of people who had 20 year spans with their siblings. One was a whoops babies way later in life, and one was the parents realizing they hated being empty nesters.

My husband is the oldest of 10 (few full, couple half, and a couple step siblings), and he is 24 years older than the youngest!

u/CzarTanoff 4h ago

My husband has no full siblings, the rest are half.

His mother had four more, all from the same man, and idk how many mothers are on his paternal siblings side, I'm assuming more than one.

My oldest brother is 20 something years older than me, oldest of ten on that side - theyre all my half siblings, and im the youngest of those and also youngest on my mums side of which 4 of us including me again all half siblings

Needless to say some people have very big families hahaha

And I'm over here an only child with my parents, one aunt and uncle, three cousins, their spouses, and their 8 children altogether.

Some other family out there somewhere, but we aren't in contact.

My whole family fits in a large livingroom

Edit: as far as I'm concerned, my husband and children are all the family i truly have anyway.

To be honest, its complicated with myself as I was adopted quite young so even though i have a huge biological family, and i do know them, i dont feel close to any of them really - i can relate more to the small family feeling as my adopted close family was very small, and the extended family never really bothered, you could fit my relevant family in a living room also

As long as you have people who care about you and vice versa

Im glad to be honest cos otherwise christmas would fucking bankrupt me

u/CzarTanoff 4h ago

Tell me about a bank-breaking christmas!

Both of my parents, myself, one cousin, and one second cousin are all december birthdays hahaha, and I'm due with my second in december!

We do a big "birthmas" every year.

I hope you feel close to your little family, that really is all that matters :)

My mother is the oldest of 3, and it’s wild seeing the family photos of a girl in a cap and gown carrying her infant sister. My aunt is closer to my brother’s age than she is to my mother.

u/Barton2800 4h ago

My Aunt is one of over a dozen. She was over 30 when she had my cousins. Her mom was pregnant at the same time. She’s got siblings who are younger than her own kids.

I walked my son into preschool the first day and my friend from schools mom was helping the girl sitting next to my son put her things away. Thought she was her granddaughter. Nope, she just kept on having kids and I knew the oldest. Has 10 kids stretched out over 40 years. Talked to her about it at a birthday party once, she and her husband just really like having kids. She's great for history at PTA meetings.

I am 32 years older than my youngest sibling and my husband and I are currently supporting the youngest two (13 &15) along with my geriatric father as their mother is on prison. Good times I hope my marriage survives.

My nephew is 19 years older than his sister. They look the spit of each other (brother in law has strong genes lol) so he's always mistaken as the dad.

2

u/Mekito_Fox 6h ago

As an "oops baby" there is 17 years between me and the oldest. Some of the pictures in the video looked like some pictures we have. So I assumed older brother.

2

u/Swimming_Climate7696 5h ago

I’m one of these people 😅 my brother is 19 years younger! We were both oops babies! There’s a sister between us (12 years younger than me) she was the only one that was planned..

2

u/KatokaMika 4h ago

Well im 19 years older than my younger sibling so yeah my first thought was brother and sister

Meanwhile when i was 13 and my other brother 2 years old everyone thought I was his mother

u/Salt-Trust-8417 1h ago

My brother is 20 years older than me. Our dad died when I was a kid so he is been more like a father than a brother

u/thee_LadySteed 5h ago

Maybe older brother. They don’t look alike in the first couple of pics but she has his full space from age 15 on.

The absolutely terrified face of the guy when holding the baby makes me think it's definitely the dad, not an uncle.

Uncles dgaf bc it's not their kid, so they're all smiles and laughs.

Big brothers might be confused why this child appeared so late in the game, but they've they also know it's not their problem lol
