Not that I'm having this issue, but my wife and I are considering a second kid and this is a thought I've had.

It's a long game. A connection with one for decades might be eclipsed by a connection with the other for a day

Yes, and also closeness changes with time. It has been like this in my family. I've felt more close to one or the other of my parents over the years depending on what I was doing but I don't remember having a problem with it. That said, my parents made sure to treat us both equally as kids, and if they felt closer to one of us they didn't let it show.
