Mothers really do favour their "precious first borns" over the children they have later, research has found.
Among examples of attention lavished on the " precious first borns"(PFBs)were tales of how mothers rubbed shampoo into their own eyes before using it on their baby to ensure it wouldn’t sting, and pulling their prams(婴儿车)backwards for miles to keep the sun off their adored offspring.
While they will conscientiously disinfect(消毒)everything that comes into contact with their PFB and change them up to 150 times a week, their later children have to make do with items licked clean by the dog and stew(炖,焖)in their own juices until their parents are ready to deal with them.
The term PFB and its poorer sibling the Neglected Subsequent Children(NSCs)were coined by members of the parenting website Mumsnet.
Among the tales reported was one of a mother that used a hairdryer on her baby’s bottom after changing her.
" She was chatting to her neighbor and asked if they were ever disturbed by her crying. "
"The neighbor assured her they were not, but that they had been woken once or twice by what sounded like a hairdryer. "
Another self-obsessed mother turned down an invitation of a friend and her baby’s christening party because she thought her own child’s " total gorgeousness would show their baby up and make them feel bad".
Another confirmed the differing hygiene(卫生学)practices used for Child One and Two, saying: "First child, suckable items must be disinfected in Milton or steam after they’re dropped on the floor. Second child: items must be wiped over with a clean damp cloth. Third child: give them to the dog to lick clean. "
Justine Roberts, co-founder of Mumsnet, told the reporters that most mothers would agree they treated the first child differently to later children.
"Precious First Bom syndrome is something we can all relate to—most mums will confess to having checked on their sound asleep firstborns several times a night, while neglected subsequent children are liable to bawl for an age before we even notice," she said. [br] According to the last paragraph, how do mothers treat the first child differently to later children?
选项
A、They will go to see the first child from time to time at night.
B、They will stop the firstborns from crying before they notice.
C、They won’t confirm whether the later children are sleeping soundly.
D、They won’t take care of the neglected subsequent children at night.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。由定位段中的…most mums will confess to having checked on their sound asleep firstborns several times a night,可知大多数母亲在老大睡觉时,会每天起夜数次查看宝宝是不是出什么状况。由此可推知她们会在夜间经常去看老大,而决不会让老大啼哭的事情发生,故A)为答案,同时可排除B);由定位段中的…Neglected Subsequent Children are liable to bawl for an age before we even notice可知,“被忽略的老小”则要哭喊很久,母亲们才会注意到。所以她们不会像对待老大那样,每天起夜看“被忽略的老小”睡得怎么样,但也不会完全不管她们的老小,故排除C)和D)。
