There are 10 years between DD1 and DD2 and 11 years between DD1 and DS.
DD1 is 21 and has a 9 month old baby.
We all spent the day together and swapped kids. DD1 took DD2 and DS to do the fun things that take a lot of energy in the pool, then on the fun rides at the funfair, while I splashed around in the baby pool with DGD and then sat on a bench with her, while she slept.
We all had a great time, Auntie and Uncle love their niece and big sis very much, and it is totally reciprocated.
We bumped into friends who have similar, a Grown up DD, with her toddler and baby and and 11 year old who is Auntie to them and a slightly younger Aunt too.
We had a brief chat about it, the fact that being a Gran is wonderful and the younger kids love being Aunties and Uncle. I feel the Grandchildren benefit a lot from having these people not too much older than them, that care about them loads.
I have an Auntie who is 12 years older than me, and now I am nearly 50, we are so very close and I love it.
I wondered if many of you have similar experiences?
