Age gaps between your children that make younger ones, young Aunts and Uncles.

My DD has an uncle who is 9 years younger than her! She was born in 1983. That same year my exH's father remarried a woman quite a few years younger than himself. In late 1991,his wife discovered she was pregnant,at the age of 44. She had a son in June 1992. My DD daughter was rather confused by her baby uncle!

I have an aunt who is slightly younger than myself, I was born in January and she was born in March of same year. My mum was the eldest and aunt was the youngest of the family. We spent a lot of time together as children so were fairly close. It used to cause some puzzled looks when we told people she was my auntie.
My eldest son is 12 years older than my second son, so when eldest Granddaughter was born my youngest became an uncle when aged 6.

There is just 8 yrs between mine, but I had no choice and the second one I didn't know was on the way until I was coming up to five months. I will admit the oldest was great looking when looking after the younger one

I feel totally confused reading these explanations of family relationships!

My mother was born about halfway through a family of 12 siblings. Her next younger sister had a baby 'out of wedlock' about a year after I was born and apparently my parents looked after him for a while, although I have no memory of this. He was returned to the family home aged about 3 and brought up as the youngest of the family, calling our grandparents 'Mam and Dad'. I was led to believe he was an uncle, not a cousin, for many years after ]

I have a brother 18 years older than me and a sister 15 years older. My mum was 44 when I was born and I was 42 when my second son was born 16 years after his brother. History repeating itself my mum said.!!

There are many families on my family tree with a dozen children spread over twenty five years. The eldest ones were having children at the same time as their parents were having their younger ones
I chose to have my four in seven years, I don't like big gaps.

My son, 36 has cousins the same age as his children, 10 and 12. Uncle married late.

My youngest GS (5 months) is Uncle to my GGS (4 months)

My DD by my first marriage and our DS were 17 & 11 when we started fostering, in the 22 years since then 3 of the many visiting Children have stayed permanently within our family, 2 DS with us now aged 29 &14 and our wonderful GD age 15 having been adopted by our DD. So our fostered DS3 is now uncle to our GD who was his sister for the first 4 years and is a year older than him. Confused? DS3 was, when asked where babies came from he said 'social workers bring them'. You don't need to be blood related to be a family!

A long time ago but my late DH was an uncle at six weeks and again at 6 years old. His half sister was 23 when he was born so he grew up with her 2 sons. He also became an uncle again to a niece at 10 years old. The daughter of his other half sister.

Out of 10 children of my mother's uncles, 8 of them are younger than me, from the age difference of a few months to about 18 years !!!
