To ask if you have a favourite child?

[lollipop74]

Just that really...

I have three, soon to be four and can honestly say I love them all equally although now and again one may get more attention than the other depending on their needs.

Yes I do if I'm brutally honest. I have 2dd 3 and 5. The 3 yo is very good natured, sweet and gets things quickly. The 5yo has a lot of annoying traits, doesn't listen and is argumentative. Everything is a battle. She makes the same mistake time and time again. She has suspected asd and everyone struggles with her. Of course I love them the same but enjoy the company of one more than the other.

Yes, but it is subject to change (who is annoying me least at the time!) No, not really. I love them both the same in different ways.

I remember overhearing a conversation as a teenager between 2 women a similar age to my mum. One asked the other which of her children she thought was most attractive!
I was gobsmacked, I have 2 siblings and it had never occurred to me that my mum might favour one of us in any way.

Yes. I only have one child though.

No. All three irritate me equally.

I love them both dearly but day to day I prefer the one that slept well the night before and gives me least grief.

I know I'm the favourite out of my siblings though, they know it too.

I have a favorite son and a favorite daughter. DS & DD still want me to pick, but I refuse to go into any more detail!!

I'm the favourite grandchild on both sides of the family. Confident of that.

I don't have a favourite child, although there are parts of each of their personalities which I like more than other parts of another child's personality.

I have an adorable 9yo and a moody, entitled 14yo.

Yes, I have a favourite.

No doubt the pendulum will swing in the other direction in the not too distant future.

No but I have one I find easier to get along with - much more like me, same sense of humour etc.

yes though i love all three of them i have one daughter so shes the one im closest too and secretly i wanted a girl all three times i was pregnant , when it comes to anything practical i treat all three equally , but as kids she was the one who got away with stuff where as the boys didnt

Yes, but I only have one child and I tell him he's my favourite every day

I'm 1 of 4. My DM will openly admit my DB is her favourite and always has been. DSIS #1 is my DDads favourite and it's so obvious.
My Parents also have 6 Grandchildren and favour 1 over the other- again, openingly admitting it.

No way. My mother did and it fucked us both up.

Why do you ask OP?
Do you have a favourite?

I have 5 DDs and can honestly say I love and like them all equally :)

I have four kids and no favourite, whenever I am alone with any of them, (rarely) I think I couldn't possibly love anybody more than this child. When I have the four together (all the time), I'm ready to murder the lot.

My mother, unbeknown to me until my late teens, favours my brother. She doesn't mean to but she can't help it. He's a bit of a shit at times, and under extreme stress she blurted out to me, "I don't know why he's my favourite ", then looked like she could bite her tongue out. I pretended I hadn't heard her.

I was a bit shocked but kind of relieved, I had always known I was my dad's favourite and had felt guilty about it till then.

Why for you ask?

I try not to but one is very hard work at the moment!

Hahaha Saucyjack

I favour dewy from malcolm in the middle. Rudy from cosby show good call though.

First kids are fucked ! They are the bad birth , the struggle to feed and catch all the neurosis , second and third are always easier and our lack of stress reflects in them hence their easier natures

I am a first born

Whichever one isn't badgering for something/ is sat quietly/ is asleep at the time

Seriously though no I don't, I love them all equally & they're all incredibly special to me in their own ways. Dc1 will always be the the eldest, dc2 we almost lost at birth & has overcome a lot to become just amazing in my eyes, dc3 has the most engaging personality, dc4 is very different from the rest in the most lovely way. Dc5, due next month, will always be the youngest.

I don't but I have one child I find it easier to parent and to be with. It's the one who is more like dh. The one who is more like me I find harder to deal with.

I don't love one more than the other though.
