Eldest children
[edit]Eldest children are the only ones to have experienced the undivided attention of their parents
Is this just a typo that misses the article THE eldest children? It's seems to be used a a normal adjective --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:26, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's normal. Bob is a child and Kate is a child; they are children (no "the"). Bob is an eldest child (in his family) and Kate is an eldest child (in hers); they are eldest children (no "the"). Equinox ◑ 20:03, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
