Do you feel the same about all your kids? Do you like them all equally?

Obvious caveat that I love all my kids the same.

My goodness one of my daughters is such hard work. The mood of the entire house seems to depend on what mood she is in. And she’s a baby! She’s not a teenager or even close!

Just wondered how this pans out as time goes on. Do people with older kids ever feel differently about one than they do the others?

I have 4, I love them all equally but rarely like my 13yo! She is a carbon copy of me 🤣

Some days she can be lovely but when I'm called 'bru' and asked why I'm salty which is followed by most doors being slammed it's tough to like her.

My eldest is great but does lie to get out of trouble. My 5yo is fab but can be too much and my 1yo is just lovely (she doesn't move far or talk back)!!

I'm looking forward to grandchildren that I can give back 😂

I love them all completely differently but equally.

Mine are grown up now but honestly the like has ebbed and flowed over the years. One of them was an absolute nightmare teen due to behavioural issues and there was little like around then, thank god for the love as that kept us all hanging in there. Now as adults I love them both equally but as their lives are almost opposites of each other I like and worry about them in very different ways.
