The Precious First Borns & Neglected Subsequent Children
Younger siblings' suspicions have been confirmed: Parents, especially mothers, favour their 'precious first borns' (PFBs) over the children they have later. Mothers in their young age might be more tolerant to the baby tantrums than they get older. Their inexperience in handling babies will make them more caring to their PFBs than later children.
Mothers will go to any extent in the care of their PFBs. Among examples of attention lavished on the PFBs, mothers admit to rubbing shampoo into their own eyes to test it doesn't sting, pulling prams backwards for miles to avoid direct sunlight and even sterilising the steriliser. Others change their newborns so regularly they go through 150 nappies a week, while some spend half an hour bathing just their baby's head.
However
by
the
time
the
next
children
are
born,
mothers
are
used
to
the
presence
of
a
baby
around
them.
'NSCs'

regularly

that

until
their

are
ready

with
them.
While
most

will
confess
to

notice.
The term PFB and NSCs were coined by members of the parenting website Mumsnet.
