[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Breaking his arm after covid is the only one I’d attribute to luck. Honestly your second kid sounds like the type who makes the most of every situation he’s in and isn’t a complainer so he’s likable and has an easier time because he just goes with it. Your first son doesn’t have bad luck - he just sounds like he’s got a higher maintenance / more difficult personality and isn’t as likable as your younger son so his life feels less charmed.

I’m reluctant to agree with this because it sounds mean and I’m not certain that it’s accurate, but it could be. My older child could be considered lucky. His teachers are always excellent and he does great at school without a ton of effort. My younger child has all the “bad” teachers. But you could look at it another way. It turns out some of those “bad” teachers were the same people. My younger child is more anxious and more vocal about being unhappy. My older child just accepts his lot and rarely complains. He’s resilient and just deals with the teachers that aren’t as good as others.

Younger child also broke his arm. Multiple times. Missed out on various opportunities. But look at it a different way - older child has also missed out on things for other reasons (Covid for example). For my younger child it feels like it’s just one issue after another, but it’s as much his personality than luck or lack of it.[/quote]

+1 Some of this stuff is just run of the mill and some kids will ignore it and think everything is fine and some kids will get really upset and feel victimized. [/quote]
