Our family dynamic has changed again. We have always done things kind of differently. We had our oldest before marriage. We got married, bought a house, and added our second child. When I had our daughter I always imagined that we would have kids close together but in reality, we were not ready for this, and by the time we were ready and had our second child our kids were 7(ish) years apart. People thought we were crazy. People thought our kids wouldn't be close. People thought that it would not work out. Having kids with a big age gap worked for our family. The kids obviously still fight like siblings fight but they are close. Our daughter has taken care of her brother while we work and overall just rocked the big sister status.
So now with our daughter gone, we are doing the only child thing again and our son is kind of lost. He is used to his sister being here to not only do the chores but she is who he confides the most stuff to.
He seems to be adjusting pretty well though. People were right. Kids are resilient.
