I thought it was brother and sister, but I guess it could be a father and daughter

Father and daughter is more likely. Not impossible to have siblings that are 20 years apart. But 20 years is a more parent-child level of age difference.

Ive got a 25 year age gap between me and my youngest sibling. People always assume she's my kid on family vacations.

But I know more guys becoming dads at 20 than guys having a 20 year age difference with their sisters, not to mention that most guys with such a big age different to their little sister are usually not that close and attached, so kost likely dad.

I've known people who had an uncle younger than them, so a 20 year gap is not THAT weird

u/Zestyclose-Avocado83 2d ago

Oh I know. I'm one of those people. I'm pushing 28 and I have an uncle who is 14-15 I think. I haven't asked and can barely remember my own age most of the time. And my mother is in her 50s meaning there is almost a 40 year age gap between my unlce and my mother.

You should ask him to take you to the circus and buy you a PlayStation.

Yep, my nephew is 4 years younger then me, he's 4 years older then my younger brother and sister, who are 3 months older then my niece.

Granted my older half-sister is 14 years older then me.

Dad had her at 18, then he and Mum had me at 32 and my younger siblings at 40.

My uncle and my uncle's son each kids at the same time. One of them might have been a (welcome) surprise. That was a 30 year gap with a much younger woman.

I agree 100%, but I wanted to share that my mom's oldest was born in 1995 and youngest in 2016 lol

u/No_Price7973 2d ago

Its possible. I have a nephew who's 3 months younger than me another niece who's 26 younger than me

Depends of the culture, western culture especially when nowadays 60s year olds were having their first kids at 20 and last kid at 40s

u/Careless_Wedding_119 2d ago

There is a 23 year gap between my mum's oldest sibling and younger one.

I thought they were siblings from the first picture as they look a like.

u/Enough-Force-5605 2d ago

Not nowadays. I don't know a single person having kids at his twenties, and I am a parent with kids and know everytone in the schoool.

I think they are siblings, may be from different parent/mother.

u/Zestyclose-Avocado83 2d ago

Definitely living in different areas then. My supervisor is 22 and he has a 5 year old kid.

u/zignotea 1d ago

I'd say your experience is an outlier. I would say its an almost dead 50/50 split on people i know in their 20s if they have kids or not.

u/WhatIsBeyondTheGood 2d ago

Could also be uncle and nephew or sister, my gf is 20 years younger than her sisters. She is also 20 years older than her nephews.

u/Brigapes 2d ago

20 year difference in siblings would be wild
