Thanks everyone! I really can't see how I could love my DD2 any less or show her less attention no matter how many children I have. They are all equally special and important. It must be a myth!


On my phone but there was an article recently somewhere about middle children thing being a myth - apparently analysis showed lots of 'leaders' in various senses of word were middle children, theory being they end up being skilful negotiators, was very interesting article - when on PC will see if can find it.
Definitely true for my DH. He refers to himself as the 'black sheep' of his family. He's always blamed for everything. But he has turned out better for it I think, the rest of his family are a PITA and he is definitely a leader!!


I actually don't believe for a second that your DD2 has tantrums!
haha! She looks all sweet and innocent. But my gosh, she's very different from DD1. I could just say 'no' to her and she would stop. No way with DD2, she's already bullying her big sister and chucking wobblies when things don't go her way. I'm a bit worried about what's in store for me this time round! Don't think we'll be missing the terrible two's this time.
