First children rip toys out of second children's hands.
Second children remember this and seek their revenge on younger children.
Second children remember this and also seek their revenge on the older child once they are both comfortably in their thirties. Bwa ha ha... excellent.

Second children try to snuggle and nurse while an older child wanders around the room talking at best or lies on the floor screaming.

First children take leisurely cozy baths with a variety of toys to choose from and enjoy.
Second children get tossed into someone else's bath water and just suck on a wash cloth when they can't reach all of the hoarded toys.

First children are funny.
Second children will do anything for a laugh.

First children recoil in horror when told to go ask for more ketchup at McDonald's, or pack up their belongings in college so that they can move out, or request an extra water cup from the snack bar at Target so that their child can have a cup for popcorn.
Second children grab the first children by the hand, drag them along, and just get that shit done.
