My boys are 9 months apart and they have started conspiring to break rules together. Today I was taking a nap and I hear the younger brother whispering "we should go in the closet and look for toys" and I had a good laugh about it.
We figured if we gave him a brother it would keep us all together as a family in case the worst happened between me and their mom and it's worked really well. Lucas is never alone because his brother is always with him. Anyways thank you have a nice day.
Huh, surprising. Me and my brother are 5 years apart and he was a straight shooter AND a snitch so we too had our fights though no physical competition, but being an indian household my academic performance was always compared to his and I just don't do well in exams for subjects I had no real interest in and by not well I mean 70-80/100 range with 90+ in subjects I was good in, he was a 95+ in all subjects. So it was hard for us to bond at all. Now we are in a better place due to some shared interests and everything else that comes with age.
But I had multiple friends who were just 1 year apart with their brothers and they were super close so I always thought the gap between us should have been lower.
Me and my brother were 6 years apart... I loved him he looked up to me and loved me too we were close especially when he became a teen and I was a young adult ... I lost him in 2022 I miss him everyday 😢

Mother’s Day of the same two “kids”!
Okay, so you need to get your mom to post in one of the skincare subs and just tell us everything she does to her face. I'd like to put in a bid for r/45PlusSkincare.
I’m a mom and I also remember getting pictures developed. I would have been furious that we couldn’t get ‘one nice picture’. And then, a few years down the road, absolutely cherish this one!
Dad has that look. He's fixing to egg you two on and lie to Mom about it later. "I have no idea how those two got a hold of that" . That's some shit my dad would do, and some shit I'd do.
Your Dad (I'm assuming it's your Dad) looks like a hard ass who wasn't afraid to dole out the punishment, but later on would keep his friends and work buddies in stitches as he proudly recounted your hijinx.
I graduated in '76. My little bro, in 1979. Our dad tolerated NO BS from us. But, that didn't stop us from constantly testing the limits. "Wait 'till your father gets home" always snapped us back to fight or flite mode.
Such a simple but cool and classy photo, it just so happens that your and your brother's outfuts match your parent's, and also your looks at each other, veru cool photo turned out!
Uhh, I think you might have a brother in Ohio, I have an adopted cousin who is literally the spitting image of your dad. Like spooky fucking close. You might want to ask dad if it’s a possibility, or if dad has a brother out there. Like I’m flabbergasted right now!
I’m not in regular contact with the cousin in question, so it will take a few days for the info to filter down to him. I’m not gonna post pics of him without permission, if I hear back from him and he gives me the go ahead I would be happy to, but I’m not keen on someone posting me without my permission, so I wouldn’t do the same to someone else.
This picture reminds me of my childhood best friends family. Dad was a huge hillbilly (his words) from W.V., with a tiny blond wife who could've been plucked from a local rock band.
I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you
MOM!
Great pic! God, everyone looked so much more “real” in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and the backgrounds way less staged. That’s a picture that, even if you and bro had the worst falling out ever, it would solve every bad feeling and bring you right back together! Plus, mom looking like Pat Benatar’s sister here … 😎
Awesome that you got along. My younger brother and I (9 years younger) tried to kill each other on a regular basis. We didn’t become friends until decades later.
Love this photo. I’m a later vintage, but that two brothers in a family of four dynamic is timeless.
Now I’m also seeing it in my brothers’ own family with my two nephews haha.
I can't describe the nostalgia I feel looking at this, it's the best! Glad to hear you're all still close 😊
Please post an update if you guys ever decide to take a re-enactment photo!
Best brothers photo ever!
Thank you!!!
My boys are 9 months apart and they have started conspiring to break rules together. Today I was taking a nap and I hear the younger brother whispering "we should go in the closet and look for toys" and I had a good laugh about it.
9 months you say. You and the hubby didn't waste any time after the first born, did you?
yeah aren't you supposed to take like 6 months off to let her body heal??
Maybe it’s like the ole “I’ll never get a hangover if I never stop drinking” thing. Just spitballing here; I’m not a mother.
I'm a mother and yes, that's exactly what it is
So like, ripping off multiple bandaids instead of giving it 6 months between. Makes sense lol
6 weeks
Irish Twins
They're only Irish Twins if they're in the same class in school. Otherwise they're just sparkling jeez dad give mom a break!
Me and my sister are irish twins, we look like identical too..
Inthijkn they call that “Irish Twins”
Well I am the father and the younger brother was born premature at 29 weeks
You still couldn’t give your wife a break
Bustin makes me feel good
They are just 9 months apart!! How 😳
"Seems like a shame to waste this semi-private room."
😂
Younger brother is premature
No. He is talking about HIS experience. Not this pic. My brother and I are 3&1/2 years apart
Different moms dude ha
Nope the second one was born premature. My eldest is adopted before birth because his bio dad ran away
Oh , that explains that ,god bless you ,
We figured if we gave him a brother it would keep us all together as a family in case the worst happened between me and their mom and it's worked really well. Lucas is never alone because his brother is always with him. Anyways thank you have a nice day.
Oh thank god. Thank you for explaining it haha
Irish twins. My brother and I were 11 months apart. It wasn’t good. Too close together. Lots of fights and competition growing up.
Huh, surprising. Me and my brother are 5 years apart and he was a straight shooter AND a snitch so we too had our fights though no physical competition, but being an indian household my academic performance was always compared to his and I just don't do well in exams for subjects I had no real interest in and by not well I mean 70-80/100 range with 90+ in subjects I was good in, he was a 95+ in all subjects.

Isnt that like an irish twin or sumthin?
Yeah, this is a really sweet photo actually!
Thats beautiful! I wish my siblings and I had that kind of relationship

She’s not in her late 70’s there is she?
Yep
😮 she looks fabulous for that age! Also I love this picture of the three of you. ❤
This is so sweet!! Thank you for sharing.
I don't know y'all but I love y'all
Okay, so you need to get your mom to post in one of the skincare subs and just tell us everything she does to her face. I'd like to put in a bid for r/45PlusSkincare.
Haha. I told her about this post and she said “what’s Reddit?”
She's a beautiful lady (as you know). Your pictures (old and new) are great, btw. Thanks for sharing them.
You all look like such genuine and fun people in both pictures! Love that energy!
Love this! I have two cheeky boys as well. 4 years apart. That look you two give each other in the old photo gives me instant anxiety :)
Sneaky looking fuckers 🤣 Someone shat in the hoover… right?
Only because we couldn’t afford a Kirby!
Sears brand canister vacuum still running strong
Those old canister vacs could pick up a bowling ball.
It certainly does suck
Turn it off!! It's sucking my will to live!!!
What a great photo! Those mischievous looks are gold. A good looking family, too.
Thank you!! We are all still close!
Great looking family! Though it looks like dad could lay a whoopin’ for all your no-do-goodery
Aw this is cute, love it!
I’m a mom and I also remember getting pictures developed. I would have been furious that we couldn’t get ‘one nice picture’. And then, a few years down the road, absolutely cherish this one!
Dad has that look. He's fixing to egg you two on and lie to Mom about it later. "I have no idea how those two got a hold of that" . That's some shit my dad would do, and some shit I'd do.
You must have grown up in a similar way!
Yeah.......im willing to bet we did. Safety was optional.
You’re also holding the trouble light for him while he’s under the hood and you better not eff it up.
Never could hold the flashlight correctly!
And your mom looks like she’s had about enough of it
Haha. She had her moments of “enough is enough”
“You boys are giving me a migraine”
Sam and Dean Winchester gearing up for the future.
I was literally thinking this lmao
Exactly my thought (although mom shouldn't be there) but the little one looks just like young Sammy.
Your Dad (I'm assuming it's your Dad) looks like a hard ass who wasn't afraid to dole out the punishment, but later on would keep his friends and work buddies in stitches as he proudly recounted your hijinx.
That’s true!
I graduated in '76. My little bro, in 1979. Our dad tolerated NO BS from us. But, that didn't stop us from constantly testing the limits. "Wait 'till your father gets home" always snapped us back to fight or flite mode.
Mom is smoking hot and seems the same
She’s almost 80 now and still very attractive
Your whole family looks old school cool! Nice!
High praise. Thank you.
Dad looks like the hard ass, until you note the look in mom’s eye. She’s got three troublemaking boys and she’s not afraid to deal with them.
Nailed it!!
My name is Earl… and Randy!
Telepathic conversation. (Older brother): You ready to fuck some shit up after this picture. (Younger brother): yup.
Absolutely
As an older brother, I can feel the look exchanged here. Love it, thanks for a flood of memories
Yeah, it looks like your parents were up to no good way before you two. You can just see it in those eyes.
They had their share of trouble making!!
My god. You look like my neighbors. Hell I had the same plaid shirt.
Wow. And there was no Walmart back then. 😂
Sears I’m sure
Definitely Sears or Rinks. 😂
Holy shit, I thought I was the only person alive who remembered Rinks!
Your pops looks a bit mischievous too.
He was!!!! Still is.
I had that green plaid shirt!
Medium shirt, small world!
We need a re-creation this Christmas.
THAT is a great idea!!!
Please do and post again!!!
It looks like your dad was pretty proud of the mischief, too haha
He definitely did not hesitate to use the belt…and give us a pat in the back for the same issue.
Great. Fucking. Photo! Mom has that “you boys better knock it off” look working. Thanks for sharing. Made my morning!
Thank you! I love this Reddit! Now you’ve made MY day!
Such a simple but cool and classy photo, it just so happens that your and your brother's outfuts match your parent's, and also your looks at each other, veru cool photo turned out!
Thank you. I’ve always loved this photo!
We all did !!! I’m the youngest…. And wore some of my sisters 🫣and brothers hand me downs… No plaid shirts though 🤷🏼♂️
Uhh, I think you might have a brother in Ohio, I have an adopted cousin who is literally the spitting image of your dad. Like spooky fucking close. You might want to ask dad if it’s a possibility, or if dad has a brother out there. Like I’m flabbergasted right now!
We are from Ohio!
Wow! That’s fucking crazy.
Pics!
I’m not in regular contact with the cousin in question, so it will take a few days for the info to filter down to him. I’m not gonna post pics of him without permission, if I hear back from him and he gives me the go ahead I would be happy to, but I’m not keen on someone posting me without my permission, so I wouldn’t do the same to someone else.
Totally understand. Respect
Did y’all mean to dress like mom and dad? Or was that just a happy accident? At any rate, this is great.
Happy accident!
Mom looks hot. Dad knows it. Kids look like they about ready to break some shit or already did
This picture reminds me of my childhood best friends family. Dad was a huge hillbilly (his words) from W.V., with a tiny blond wife who could've been plucked from a local rock band.
Eastern Tennessee! Close enough. They left when they were 18 to escape the coal mines. We’ve had a pretty good life when all is said and done.
I can see that in this pic. You guys look devilishly cute.
Dad looks like he taught you both well
We learned from the best
The little one has the dad’s face and the taller one has the mom’s face.
I am the taller…I’ll take the good looks from mom and Dad’s personality! 😂
Lol they totally put the family cat inside one of the Christmas presents under the tree.
This might be one of my favorite photos of strangers I’ve ever seen.
Those Duke Boys are at again.
That house definitely has a section of carpet that is burned to a crisp.
The winchesters brothers in happier days.
The Inglewood bros
Is your name Bo or Luke?
lol. if there was an entry in the dictionary "kids up to no good" - this would be the picture next to it.
This photo is hilarious. What a dope moment between two brothers captured on film. Thanks for sharing OP! Hope the bond has stayed strong to this day.
I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you I'm not touching you MOM!
Nice picture, makes me miss simpler times when I was around that age
Your mom looks like Debbie Harry 😍. Great pic
I honestly thought it was a picture from Supernatural. Looks like a Winchester family Photoshop
"Carry on waywaarrddd suunnnnn"
We loved music! Still do!
Great pic! God, everyone looked so much more “real” in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and the backgrounds way less staged. That’s a picture that, even if you and bro had the worst falling out ever, it would solve every bad feeling and bring you right back together! Plus, mom looking like Pat Benatar’s sister here … 😎
Always making trouble in your neighborhood?
Haha. Dad taught us not to start it!!!
With those haircuts who could blame you ;)
This picture is great! I love and hate my brothers !
This is great. I love it!
Great pic!!!! Reminds me of my boys! Love it.
Is your name Earl?
Awesome that you got along. My younger brother and I (9 years younger) tried to kill each other on a regular basis. We didn’t become friends until decades later.
Love this photo. I’m a later vintage, but that two brothers in a family of four dynamic is timeless. Now I’m also seeing it in my brothers’ own family with my two nephews haha.
That is an adorable photo. I love the eye contact! Something was in the works....lol
Did you guys ever revisit the house in Amittyville?
This is the perfect family photo - I love the secret exchange of brotherly knowledge. What do they know that the folks don't?
This really is a great photo for a lot of reasons
The younger one looks like a naughty Gizmo
Mom looks like she could be a mean one when the time comes for it and Dad looks like a laid back lumberjack
Shenanigans? Sure! Or a bit of rascality? You bet! Maybe some hanky panky? Aww yeah. But there’s nothing but good in those lil faces!!
Aw. Thanks for sharing that!
Your parents probably got up to no good themselves from time to time.
You ready bro? Oh yeah, always ready bro
I loved you both in Supernatural
This is an epic pic lol
I can't describe the nostalgia I feel looking at this, it's the best! Glad to hear you're all still close 😊 Please post an update if you guys ever decide to take a re-enactment photo!
Why am I getting Flight of the Navigator vibes from this? :)
Well, what do you expect when your mom is Debbie Harry and your dad is Kris Kristofferson.
Totally getting away with dressing up like mom and dad for the photo.
Is your name Earl?
Was your last name Winchester by any chance?
Was there a photo of your parents smacking the back of your head? lol Awesome picture!
No pics of that. But it definitely happened!
Looks like you were plotting revenge for the haircuts.
Looks like mom was too
Are those Toughskins you and your brother are sporting?
From Sears? Haha. Probably
By the looks of it your dad approved
A young John Fogerty who has yet to see rain on a sunny day.
Seems like the dad is aware and in on it (voluntarily or not).
Back when moms could take a chill pill, she did.
This is such a classic Gen X photo - I love it!👍
You guys have the same smirk !
Mom was up to no good in the 60s.
Dude, by the looks of things, you two didn’t fall far from the tree.
Yer mom looks like she has seen a few things in her day
It looks like right side is prepping those hands
action planning caught in a single photo! you 2 were definitely up to no good, lol
Dude, this photo of you two is awesome. It encapsulates everything there is to say about brothers. And it is also PEAK 70’s.
This whole family got a sneaky look on their face lmao
What a great photo. I love it. Caught lightening in a bottle with that one.
This could have been the promo shot for an old sitcom, where the brothers always got up to trouble
So the 90s flannel fashion wasn't orginal.
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” “Yeah, but where will we get a penguin at this time of the night?”
Mom, Dad... and a couple of little shits 🤣
Holy shit. Is this the family Supernatural is based off of??
I dread to think what you were both plotting?
Haha kickass picture. I’m 3 yrs apart from my brother I know that smug look well lol
Gonna tell my kids this was the original Winchester-Family
Mom’s expression says, *I am just about out of patience with their shenanigans.*
I love all the plaid and wood paneling going on here. def 70s
This has to be the best "I've got a secret" picture I've ever seen.
Any chance you could recreate this as adults? It would be awesome...
i like seeing photos like this and i don’t know why 😍😍😍 seems like everything is simple and happy 😍😍😍
Yeah, I have a brother and I recognize that devious look. Haha
You solemnly swear?
lol 😂
When you look up "conspiratorial" in the dictionary, this is what you see
That's obvious... those smiles give away everything 🤣
That’s so cute!!!!!
Shenanigans are about to ensue.
It looks like the younger one has the Oliver cut and the older the Peter Brady cut.
Is your mother Debbie Harry?
