    I have a half-brother born in 1985 (I’m born in 2006) whom I’ve always called uncle cause he’s so much older than me and calling him brother feels weird. 😭

      My wife has a half-sister that is 24 years younger than her, and she’s not even the oldest in her family. I think the full age spread is about 31 years.

      Sort of a similar deal. Her mom and dad split when she was young. Dad had a whoops/miracle baby with his new wife, who is only a year or two older than his eldest daughter. She was 26, I think, when they met and apparently pursued him despite his protests until he gave in and dated her. So it’s maybe weird, but not standard issue creepy. The baby happened around 7 years into their relationship.

      Your brother is older than your mom?

      Edit: nm, your mom is from 84, I misread it as 88. Don’t have my glasses on rn.
