Same here, but to be fair they are twelve years apart, from different marriages, and I didn't know what I was doing with my first (which was probably a blessing because he's doing well in spite of me and in spite of his education).
Well yes.. my son is 4.5 years younger. My older daughter had LD's, wasn't gifted. So while hope I 'expect' that my kids put in the same amount of effort, my expectations are that my son can do a lot better in school.
