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.

  • 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.

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.
