...and then change it back again when you have a second or third one.

I seem to remember that our firstborn was made of glass, had no 
resistance to diseases at all, and required intense parental 
supervision of every action and close guidance of all those far 
reaching ethical decisions like whether dessert could be eaten when 
the first course was unfinished.

For some strange reason, our third child was made of rubber, could 
be freely exposed to any conditions of dirt, cold, and wet, and 
managed to pass his milestones with minimal supervision and guidance.

Funny that.
