Any oil-based product (primer or topcoat) will yellow because of their ingredients and drying mechanism. Yellowing is basically oxidation.Waterborne alkyds will yellow less.

An oil based primer will not cause a latex top coat to yellow, providing there is enough millage to effectively cover the primer.

Seeing how you're first timers with young kids around, an all waterborne system would work best for your job, IMHO.

Some issues you may encounter:
A water-based product should adhere to the paint, but may not perform well in direct sunlight. You’d probably need to move it into a garage or at least a covered area when not in use. It will absolutely blush if exposed to standing water.
An oil-based product could possibly lift your latex coating, ruining the entire project. And as stated above, they are not water-white and will amber over time.
I’d suggest leaving it painted and touch it up as needed, or abandon the paint altogether and use a solid-color latex stain or deck finish. It will look like paint and is designed to handle the elements. Make sure you coat ALL sides of the wood, paying extra attention to the ends.

We did freshman year (1979) in junior high, therefore my HS years were 80-82. Trust me, I'm no Doogie Howser. I'm flattered, however.

Nah. They had fairly liberal views before college, and to their credit, they both stayed away from that bullshite on campus. They were stronger than that.
