I really hate the term/label - precious first born.

lostinwales we did the spreadsheet thing with DS1 - I still keep a record with DS3, just not with Excel

Calm down, dear! The term has nothing to do with the level of actual love and care given to any of your children, but instead refers to irrational and hysterical behaviour unique to new parents.

Read the links Paisley has posted and all will become clear.

It's can be used on here like pointing out spelling mistakes to try make the poster feel they know nothing.

I've been on the receiving end of that one, just made me think I must be right if they're resorting to trying to put me down

MrsRigby I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel teary with my tales of lax parenting :o

cycling christ is it i hate dis and dat night on mn

It's not a description of the child so much as a description of the parents behaviour.

They don't love or care about siblings any less.

It's funny and self depracating provided you don't take it too seriously.

Us PFB's are very special so nahhhhhhhhhh

Both mine are precious but each to their own as to how they feel!

i have never been precious moments mama,so no biggie.

I neglect both of mine equally!

doesn't really bother me, and i was a lot more uptight with my first in all respects so probably a pretty good lable for me.
