I'm glad that you mentioned the child's perspective. Sibling rivarly of parents' affection is a fairly universal experience among children (and into adulthood). As the second of five kids envy of my older brother was a real psychological trauma of sorts. My brothers and I were convinced that he was loved the best by both parents. On the positive side, this perception spurred me to develop my own individuality within the family.

I bet even identical twins experience that "mom loved you better" experience. It's all just more work for the therapists I suppose.
