7.5 years between me and my brother and 12.5 between my sister and I. I know that there are larger age gaps but its has made a huge difference in the relationships I have with them.
I understand. There are 18 yrs between my oldest and youngest sisters and they basically have no relationship.

I am technically 4th of 6. Only 1 sibling (#5) is my full sibling.
2 older half-sisters, 1 older half-brother, 1 younger half-brother. I grew up/lived with 1 of my sisters, my older brother and my 1 younger (full) brother.
In order, oldest to youngest: Step-sister (45) Step-brother (38) Brother (34) Me (32) Half-brother (20) Half-sister (18)
My parents divorced when I was 4 and both nearly immediately moved in with other people, so my step-siblings are basically normal siblings.
My dad got re-married to a woman with 2 kids from her first marriage. My mom got re-married to a childless man, but they had 2 kids together when I was a teenager.

Oldest of 2. My brother is 12 years younger than me (adopted). My parents joke they needed that much recovery time because I was such a horrible child. Also, they had a live in babysitter. I adore my brother and we hang out all the time!
