If you are the third child you raise yourself. And don't expect too many baby pictures.

Seen one, seen em all.

Depends if your siblings are old enough to operate a camera

[–] hardware26@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Third siblings who were born right after cameras got affordable have the most pictures.

I love the lvl 1/2 on dad's sweater 😄

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

The level equals the number of kids you've had. Genghis Khan was the first dad ever able to take a prestige class

I'm currently in the first panel. Except I'm out of town on business and my wife is dealing with it alone. Never been so stressed.

I'm the 2nd child and was pretty much free roam type. Ended up with less baggage than the 1st, but had like 10 near death experiences before 15, and my friend and I would've been smoking crack at age 12 if we could've found any.

Lucky. In my case the first went wrong, so I got the obsessive-control emotionally abusive don't-you-dare-breathe-wrong type... Yay PTSD and a suicide attempt at 12 years old... Yeah I'd prefer the near death experiences, but at least not wanting to die.

If only there was something in-between helicopter parenting and free roam :)
