[quote=Anonymous]Most people I know favor their second child because they are easier to deal with.  I try to be fair to both and certainly love them equally, but probably spend more time with my older and enjoy more time with my second.  Agree some parents seem to forget about the other siblings especially if there are many of them and it can cause problems for the younger ones.  I spend a lot of time with my second, but honestly it is a lot less work for me to keep up with what is going on with his life than with my first and I feel like the time I spend getting to know how to deal with my first will help me in the long run with my second.  I know the school program for our local school and all the privates, the summer camp programs, the cub scout program, we have more friends for him, etc, etc.  If your older child is happy in school, it is much more likely that the younger siblings will be happy as well.  If the older one says school is hard, boring, kids are mean, etc. that will trickle down to the younger ones too.  This is why there are more redshirted 1st borns because some families want to be sure their oldest has a good experience starting out.[/quote]
