I just think this is very sad and that even if your drawn towards one child more surley you should try very hard not to show it and also not boast in the paper

It also has the potential to reck the girls relationship very very sad

YANBU. Not really something you advertise is it

And this issue i think has runied many siblings otherwise loving relationship

My dad had clear fav its very damaging in a family

I tell all my kids that they're my favorite.

"You know I totally love you more than your brothers, right?"

"You just say that to all of us!"

"True, but about a third of the time I'm telling the truth."

Urgh, that's vile.

Not that she feels that way, we can't really help our feelings, but to advertise it - just urgh.

Not all taboos have to be broken imo.

I read one the other day i think it was the telegraph about a dad who clearly favoured one son over the other two nealy finshed her marraige

That's horrible :( Those poor children

Not to mention the names they've been saddled with

words fail me.

I'm not saying she is wrong to feel more for one than the others actually I am but it's her life and not mine but to go to a national newspaper and admit it and to actively treat the children differently.

What a nasty piece of work.

I feel for her other children. I have witnessed favouritism in regards to grandchildren and seen how upsetting that has been on the others who are left out/not the favourite. Imagine that being your actual mum though, what a horrible woman.

I think she will mess up all of her children over this. I suspect Eden will come out of it worse, at least the others will have good relationships with each other.

What a vile piece.

Why would she say those things to a national newspaper.

I imagine the guilt that Eden will feel when she is old enough to realise/understand, will cause a lot of problems.

I was my mothers favourite. She used to buy barbies and dolls for my brothers birthday (she bought me more presents and made them open them as theirs). I hate her now it destroyed our family. All the children suffer, even the favourite. It's horrible

Yes briancox i have also witnessed this with grandchildren in my owan family this also happens with step children as well its one thing to feel more for one child or another but we are adults and we dont have to act on our feelings just very sad and to go on recored with it eeekk

There are a few things i thing you should never do and this is number 6

What a stupid woman.

I don't think she's very bright is she? Tbh.

I've met a couple of people in my life who admit to this, and they do so with great shame and pain.

I sometimes prefer the company of one of mine over the other (sometimes I'd rather just spend the day alone) but I can't imagine not loving them utterly equally.

noisytoys same here i dont talk to my dad now he treated my sister linke cinders

Disgusting thing to go public with.

I love love love the name Eden though.

Makes me think of Edam :)

Domjolly Can we see your list of things? How long is it?

I can identify with this to a degree. eg, my mum also takes kids on a sleepover but i dont keep the one i have the easier relationship with home!! no way. awful that she publicises it...

God love him, look at the little one. He's just a dot. Never mind the other poor girls. She has four beautiful children. She'll really regret this article one day.

and she's shit with names

What a stupid woman. Some people will say or do anything for their fifteen minutes of fame. I just hope her children don't grow up too affected by the actions of their thicko mother.

And Reacher, really?

Reacher!!! makes me think of puking. i know it is a different word but .....

Aldiwhore, i think its the relationship rather than the child. i hope my dc dont feel one is loved less. but one is "easier". :-(
