After some advice
I have 2 boys 10 and 4, my 10 year old is at that stage where he likes to do his own thing at home which normally means xbox playing with his mates lol my 4 year old loves to play on there with him but over the last few months my 10 year old just don’t wanna play with him. I try my hardest to sit and entertain my 4 year but it’s not always possible so I get his bored. Now my other half (their dad) makes my eldest play with him for a few hours a day but this seems to have a bad effect on them as now they fight like Cat and dog 24/7.
Anyone have a big age gap like mine?
Any advice would help
Thanks

There's 5 years between me and my sister, and I can tell you that your 10 year old is probably so frustrated that he has to hang around with his 4 year old brother. It's difficult on both kids having such a large age gap, but forcing them to spend time together is just going to cause more bickering. They will get on eventually, just have to wait u till they are older x
@sara-lou86, yeah we have had a chat tonight and I’ve said I think not forcing him to play with the youngest and see if that helps xx

I can't talk from experience with my own but my sister and I have a 5year gap and no we never grew up playing together. When I was into toys she was growing out of toys. We shared a room but did our own thing. Once we were adults we became much closer though. I think your right. Don't force it they'll only bicker. Your oh needs to realise that too. Forcing a child to do anything they don't want to do it fighting a losing battle lol.
@sarahlamb19, I told my girl to play with the 4 year old Early & all she did was kick off & tease him so I told her she’d lose points towards her treat for not being nice too him it’s not a chore but playing with him is a massive help out too me also xxx
@tamla.sabrina, yeah they share a bedroom too and cos it’s still like a kids bedroom my eldest ain’t happy with that too lol 😂 they definitely test my patience xx
@bonnieb, yeah see this is how I want it to be cos when they do play together but not forced they get on really well but my partner don’t agree with it and keeps making the eldest play with him.
I am hoping when my youngest is moving about move she will play with him xx
My boys are 16 & 4 & they argue like cat & dog they share a room too which on a weekend my 4 year old ends up in my room while my oldest has his friends round my 11 year old girl argues with both of them too & hardly plays with the youngest one unless there board then the torment the heck out of him got to love them though 😍🤦🏼♀️🤣 xx
There's 6 years between me and my older sister, we never use to get on at all we would fight and argue all the time and we never got on until I was 16 and now we're so close. I think because the age gap is quite big there both into diffrent things so it's hard x
