So lately I have heard that the oldest child should get more things and have more priority over the younger sibling. Meaning that most likely the parent is paying more attention to the older child, but that means that the younger child wouldnt have been treated the same as the other child growing up. What do you think?
Personally I think the children should be treated the same, and if you gets proirity it should be based a little bit more mon maturity then on age.

I guess the priority should be focused on the youngest and the oldest. The oldest because:
1. If their old enough, the parents might want them out of the house sooner
and for the younger:
1. They need plenty of attention that way they have the attention they need and wont feel neglected.

Ziddeth, I'm the oldest. What are ya saying?
Don't forget, the oldest is usually the smartest and bread-winner. I am both. Eevee is a dumbass, so he's got no chance of having success.
*I know Eevee will badmouth me, so don't believe a word he says. Ziddeth is monitoring me and he believes every word I say.*
Just because Ziddeth is not the youngest doesn't mean he should act like it.

i think all children should be treated equally according to their age. what i mean is give the oldest certain responsibilities such as looking after their youngest siblings and minding the house when the parents are away and reward them accordingly. obviously you cant give that kind of responsibility to the youngest. i dont think the oldest should always be first and always get priority over the other siblings. thats essentially the parents having a favorite child, at least from the perspective of the other siblings.

First of all...in some ways Geo you missed the point of the topic XD
And yes I do agree that you cant put the younger child in charge but I guess this is more along the lines is should the oldest always get everything?

For the success part, that's my opinion. I have responsibilities, like watching them. That's true.
Our mom is leaning towards Eevee's side, and he's in the middle. So the oldest doesn't always get the best.
I would also like to take this opportunity to bring up the mother of all child problems:

I will say this, if one of them is hurt, it's usually their a**.
But sometimes, it's usually my fault. I know that I will eventually need to get a car, a job, and place to stay, but I will also be the first to experience life before they do.

I'm the youngest in my family and I think that everyone should be treated equally(except babies I guess).

Taking that I'm the oldest of some "smart" people in my family, to quote a famous law:
"All people are created equal, but some people are created more equal than others."
This is a real law in our Constitution.

It al depend on a child age. If onwe begins t feel neglected, give more attention to him. My mom is pregnant now, funny thing is, I dont think Ill ever feel neglected. For my first five years I was used to only one blood relative, my mom, who ever lived with me. She was always tired, even though dshe did give me a ttention, but not as much as most kids. So I just know how to entertain myself, how not to be lonely. I think more kids should be that way, instead of reaching out for attention.

It's just like of the draw. Some parents like some kids better, and some don't like them at all. It's better to be looked at at least than being neglected like you don't exist.

What I'm saying is that some parents don't like their children... period. Some neglect them because they think it will solve their problems or make the pain go away.
So if you're going to be a parent, ask yourself this question. Are you ready?
