Date: June 23rd, 2025 7:46 PM Author: irradiated frozen university prole I know whereof I speak. I'm sure twins, even Irish twins, are fine, but the 2-3-year age gap is rough, because the oldest is still at that age that they want Mom's undivided love, but they're old enough to remember when they did have it, so they feel they're being screwed.

|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 7:57 PM Author: out-of-control big-titted center Point is that all of these little details when raising kids do not end up mattering. What matters is: (1) Genetics, (2) exposure to toxins, and (3) avoiding real hardcore abuse.
The only other "environmental" factor that really matters is the shared environment (eg. culture kid is raised in).
Everything other than that that parents can control is meaningless. |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 8:04 PM Author: irradiated frozen university prole This is just pronatalist wishful thinking. Lots of little things, including birth order, affect life outcomes. Higher birth order is associated with slightly lower IQ; a male child who has more older brothers is more likely to be homosexual. And you're ignoring how genetics and environment can interact; by your own argument, a baby genetically predisposed to be highly neurotic is more likely to be traumatized by non-abusive but adverse environmental factors.

|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 8:04 PM Author: out-of-control big-titted center It's a type of control falacy.
Parents tend to assume that because they have a lot of control over the minutiae of their kids day-to-day lives, the minutiae actually has a material impact on the kids development. It doesnt. |

Date: June 23rd, 2025 8:25 PM Author: lilac queen of the night stage I have two 19 months apart. The new baby will be significantly easier, but the challenge comes from dealing with jealousy/attachment issues from the older kid and learning how to manage both at the same time. You’ll also be in uncharted territory with the oldest and figuring out potty training sleep regression and general brattiness you haven’t experienced before. Just remember that it’s all just phases and the kid will move onto the next thing in 30-60 days usually. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742418&forum_id=2/#49044085) |

Date: June 23rd, 2025 8:50 PM Author: lilac queen of the night stage She just got super attached to her mother, because in her mind the little one usurped all the attention. For us it never manifested in any negative behavior towards her sister but it wore on my wife’s patience and it’s never any fun to feel rejected by your kid. You kinda just have to talk them through it and be firm whenever the tantrums get past a certain level. As with most things half the battle is staying on the same page with your wife and just accepting the kid preferred her attention until they grow out of it. You’re getting a double whammy of the terrible twos, which are annoying to begin with plus managing the changes to the household. Just don’t let the kid run the show and be patient (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742418&forum_id=2/#49044151) |

The second one isn’t quite as bad because I think you’re generally less neurotic about everything so the newborn stage is overall less stressful. The first year sucked, but then it generally gets better. I think it’s a lot harder on the dad because you basically need to be a lot more Involved with everything while mom is taking care of the baby. |
