Looks amazing! Reminds me of a funny reddit thread about a man who built a fiber optic star ceiling for his daughter. The top comment was "First child?". :)

And then the things you do to redeem your guilt for the second child is a whole interesting area.

That's what the drum machine module is for.

Hi Brajeshwar (back to the old flashcoders days). Children grow up and in the end you get the full orchestra ^^

When I first saw the starfield post, I had one kid. I was building her all sorts of cool stuff: brio table, custom childrens book, etc. So naturally, I disbelieved the assertion that my second child would get anything less than my first. Alas, the insight is spot on - for all your good intentions, the second child gets shafted. I think it's just one of those things you have to experience to get it.

And then they give up by the fourth. Guess which one I was, lol.

Don't assume: Could be an only child, or the spouse is stay-at-home, or the author has family wealth and doesn't need a full time job.

[prodigycorp]

could also be the first child ;)

I do get your sentiment, but you could have picked some better examples:

> Could be an only child

In which case, odds are that they're also the first child ;)

> or the spouse is stay-at-home

Which is a full-time job in itself

> or the author has family wealth and doesn't need a full time job.

which is far far less likely than the assumption you're rebuttelling

or literally none of those options
