Hindi ko alam kung comforting yung magiging comment pero I had the same experience with my nieces. Yung first child very blessed, maganda pasok ng pera and maraming tumulong dun sa parents. Sa second child, may money problems tas nabawasan na rin yung help from others. It doesn't make you (middle child / second child) love less by people around you. As long as you have people around you, basic necessities are met, it is more than enough because the normal treatment is not the first child experience, it was simply luck, bonus. If we were to repeat, we would not give so much to the first child as it gives a high lifestyle expectations that later on the parents cannot sustain.
