Does anyone with more than one child, or a child older than say 5 object to the term PFB

[Twiglett]

just wondering

no, i have a pfb, the rest are just feral

Nope. Think it perfectly sums up some people and some grown up PFB's too. Don't think my FB is treated like a PFB except for the 772 photos we took of her between 0-3 months....

.......And that's only cos I wanted her to be a child model and earn her keep from as early and age as possible .....

She didn't make it yet though, so I'm still keeping her child allowance....

No. Because I remember how I was when I had my first, and I was the same! Most first time mums do have the whole pfb thing going on and it's normal. I think of it quite affectionately actually.

This premise rather implies that parents with just one child are doomed to lifelong silliness. Which is just a tad unfair. I do think some people use the term in a sneering way.

I think of PFB syndrome as an allowance to eb a bit psycho with your first child tbh.

I mean most of the time it's in a 'ah, it's her first, give her a break, she'll wake up with a start like the rest of us did'.

It's normally only used when people are being completely barking and forgetting that, in fact, people have been having for babies for hundreds and hundreds , in fact THOUSANDS of years.

I have to say though I started of a right-hard-nosed disciplinarian beeyatch with my first child and have gotten progressively mellower and more earth motherish with each subsequent one, wtf is that called? (apart from lazy)

oh, in answer to the op. Nope.

mine is most definatly pfb so no

No. If you read parenting magazines and such, they seem to take such a sanitised health and safety view of parenting. So with dd, I thought I had to sterilise a dummy before every use - I remember handing a dummy to a midwife to give to dd and proudly telling her I had already sterilised it. Would have been happy to be labeled PFB as that would mean I could revert to being the slattern I am. Most instructive to observe parents of multi-borns.
