2boys: Hello! I'm new here

[westbb]

I also have 2 boys ('05 & '07). And the two of them are really different!

No guts to try for 3rd one… hehe

I told them i prefer to be my husband's only princess.


what a good answer

We need guts to try, if later get one more ninja turtles , will be fainted :!: anyway this will be the whole life commitment, better think twice.

Yes. Whether we do get another ninja turtle or a princess, it will impact our other 2 kids. The other day, i saw a family with 3 kids. The elder 2 boys are around the same age gap as my boys (i think, from their size and mannerism). The younger boy is pretty active (like my ds2). And their youngest is a princess. Obviously daddies love their princesses and hence the protectiveness. The middle child isn't matured enough to control rough play and I can see him being told off a couple of times by both the parents and the elder bro. Guess that's part of being a middle child too. The parents may be right to control the little boy's behaviour, but hopefully the little boy won't think that it is wholly due to the little sister.

Ya lo, that day just chat with a parent, she did mention that if one family have 3 children, the middle one will be get lesser concern by the parents, as mother will prefer the younger one and the father might prefer the elder one. So the poor one is in the middle.

Nowadays children very clever, they also scare that their "position" will be affected… when they need your concern, they will do a lot of funny things to attract your attention. Then we will be headache liao, so better think twice twice.

Yes. But it won't be too obvious if you only have 2 kids as each parent can focus on one. If you have 3, the middle child tends to be neglected. 4 may be ok, cos the middle 2 kids have company.
JMHO.

hihi....


I have 3 boys...It is nt neccessary that the middle will be neglected.

My MIL kept saying that mi & HB dote on the middle rather than the eldest & yougest which is true...maybe bcoz he is more cute & obedient

hi w_li79,
read from your newbie thread that your middle kid is one of the younger twins.
so actually that doesn't really count, right?
welcome to KSP too.
