[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is this way.  He is 11, and has gotten better about not dwelling so much on the sadness of the world.  At 8 though, he would cry about a schoolmate who could not walk or run, and how unfair and sad he found this.  It's interesting because his sister lacks empathy for others.[/quote]

My children are like this.[b]  I say my older DD sucked all the empathy out of my body before she was born leaving none for younger DD.[/b]
My older DD has a huge heart.  My younger one.... not so much.[/quote]

It appears all common sense was also sucked out of you at some point if you ever actually say this out loud![/quote]

Why the PP has a point.  Many parents parent firsts better than seconds/thirds.  It is not necessary a bad thing.  I am not a helicopter to my 2-4th kids and they are much better equipped to handle their feelings and the real world.   But then again, my 2nd fights me for attention and has shown an increase in anxiety at times.  You are oblivious if you don't think parents raise each child a little different.  I lost my mom during my 3rd child.  I was depressed.  It was tough.   Things happen.  [/quote]
