Bad Parents on 2nd Child Syndrome?

The other day I was asking the kids what they wanted for Christmas this year. McKade quietly came up and said, "Mom, could I please have a bike?". I thought about it and then told Brett about it that night. Brett says, "He doesn't have a bike?". Technically he had a bike but outgrew it a year or so ago and has never shown any interest in having another. He is very content just to ride his scooter around most of the time. We got talking about it and didn't think McKade even knew how to ride a bike. What 8 year old doesn't know how to ride a bike? We both felt absolutely horrible and promptly went out that weekend and bought him a bike and he and Trevin got new helmets as well. I don't know if it's the 2nd child syndrome or a bit of bad parenting. The good news is that McKade hopped on that bike and after a few wobbly moments he took off down the sidewalk on it. He is so happy that he can ride around with the other kids in the neighborhood now who all have bikes of their own (sigh). We were so blessed to have such a sweet spirit sent to us as child #2. I don't think that any of our other kids have the personality to put up with what he has to. We love you Bubba!!!
