How do you deal with feeling a great connection with one of your children, but not with another? (lemmy.world)

Not that I'm having this issue, but my wife and I are considering a second kid and this is a thought I've had.

I'm close to the polar opposite type of personality from my family. It is not fun. My father had lots of preconceived notions and stereotypes that were not grounded in reality. My sister amplified the problems greatly. Either of us would have been better off as only children.

First kids get the inheritance because they're the mulligan. The only first born kids I know of that have done really well in life are those that are only children.
