No Surprise

Dan won't be surprised by this, but this article in today's USA today talks about how the 2nd born gets the shaft:
...new research on 21,000 people that finds firstborn children get more parental attention — 3,000 hours more — than their siblings. Not only that, but more quality time is spent with firstborns even as they get older.

Second children of the world unite... This would be much funnier if it wasn't likely true with my daughter as well - so now it's just ironic.

Unfortunately it's true! I hate to admit it but the second one does get short changed. The good news is that they are extremely persistent and usually always get what they want and hopefully what they need.
