Funny Tweets About Parenting First Vs Second Kids

As the eldest child in my family, I remember my childhood being full of restrictions and rules. I had curfews, my sugar intake was limited, and my mom knew every single one of my friends and where I was at all times. I assumed that was totally normal, but as I watched my younger siblings grow up, I realize that I suffered from oldest-child-syndrome. It turns out that the first-borns are just the guinea pigs for parents to figure out how relaxed they want to be in their parenting approach. That, or by the time they get to the youngest, they've given up caring. And these hilarious tweets from parents show just how true that is.

    On the one hand, it's cute how much parents try to protect their first-borns. From the moment they're born, they give them all the love and attention they can. From forcing everyone to use hand sanitizer if they want to hold the baby to giving them rides to and from school when they grow up because god forbid they should use public transport.

    On the other hand, it's actually quite annoying watching your younger siblings experience all the freedoms you never got to when you were their age. It's one of life's injustices, that you have to suck up.
