Same here, two kids and zero strategies that worked with one apply to the other. Might as well be raising a dog and a dolphin.

- tbcj 3y agoMy experience as well. My two are so different it’s hard to even parent at times as they need different kinds of attention. You can’t really give yourself in different ways at the same time. We recognize that one - being born in the lockdown environment - is likely different in meaningful ways than our first. Our first is helpful in she almost recognizes a difference.
- CSMastermind 3y ago> Might as well be raising a dog and a dolphin. That made me chuckle. But it's possible for siblings not to share any genetic material right? A brother and a sister would obviously get different genes from their father and presumably there would be a 50/50 chance of them getting different genes from their mother. There's four unique prototypes of children any two people can produce together.
- caseymarquis 3y agoI thought it was more like 2^23 unique prototypes?
- darkerside 3y agoFour prototypes?
- danwills 3y agoGamete cells get a random half of all genes from each parent so there's about 2 unique possible 'sets' from each parent, and 2*2=4. However because it's random I think you can only say there are 4 distinct completely unique possibilities in theory, but it would be very unlikely for that to actually happen in practice.
- darkerside 3y agoAhh, as in fully exclusive sets of genes
- diroussel 3y agoEach parent supplies half the genetic material. But each sperm and each egg have a randomly different set of one half of each chromosomes. So if you have 10 children chances are they each have a unique set of chromosomes.
- rand0mx1 3y agoProbably genotype. Isn't it
- fsckboy 3y ago>Four prototypes? gp said four unique prototypes
- harry_ord 3y ago> But it's possible for siblings not to share any genetic material right? Kinda but the mother always provides the mitochondria.
- CSMastermind 3y agoI think that's an area of open research: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1810946115 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1810946115 But yes, that's a good distinction I should have made!
- harry_ord 3y agoOh that's cool. Now I have something new to read thanks.
