A bit of fun.
How did you manage parenting your second child's resentment dislike of their position in the family? Of course it all depends on their temperament, but here's one of my funnies.
DD was cross her big brother got on the plane ahead of her and sat in the window seat. Cue a big meltdown in front of 200 passengers. In the interests of a peaceful flight for all, my DH's answer was to offer to buy her 5 beanie babies at our destination. Job done! Except she then milked that one every time!
She was one who could easily be bribed.

I'm a middle so had a special spot for our #2.
I remember my DM buying him a bike of his very own and he was so thrilled.
I joked that #3 was the favourite because we'd had to wait a while to meet him
The girl was the baby and probably a bit spoiled.
We never went in planes. When you have 4 DC you don't have money for foreign holidays.

Just heard on the News Quiz;
First the worst
Second the best
Third the one with the hairy chest.
