[quote=Anonymous] Time with mom is never the same for a second child as it is for the first. You need to let go of that need for equal experiences. I say this as a mom to 3 children in an intact family. Each subsequent child gets less time with their parents because nobody is ever going to get 100% of mom’s attention again. But you know what? My kids all think the youngest is the luckiest. He gets to grow up with two fun older siblings who make him laugh all the time. He also never experienced my first-time angst about leaving him with a babysitter and trying certain activities. Nobody gets “equal” that’s impossible. You can still have a great family where everyone gets what they need—but not if you beam count the way you’re doing right now. That’s toxic. [/quote]
