lol. Guilty as charged.
Younger child has 1/2 a "baby book" complete, and spent his baby/toddler years napping in the stroller whilst waiting for older brother's activities.

Maybe it is because parents get to sleep more when there is the first baby? You can sleep during naptime with one. With two...or three....yikes!

My Grandpa would say to my dad "What, you only had 4 kids?!! what is wrong with your sperm??".

My how times change through the generations!! Now if couples have more than 2, it is out of this world!

I feel guilty that I'm the oldest, here I go to Canada, and sis has to go to Community College for two years and she's the better student.

My father was one of the oldest and he and a couple of my uncles worked in factories and mines as the younger siblings went to university.

My dad ended up at CP Rail which was better than the mines.

I hope these buffoons didn't spend any money on this study. I could have told them all that for free.

I wouldn't know. My attention goes from kid to kid so I'm not sure if I spend more attention on the first one or the second one. I only know that the second one is the MOST demanding.

And yes, I'm talking about my husband.......
