Of coarse its true!!! The younger/youngest sibling is often the favorite in the family. Sure the
parent(s) denies when u ask them, but deep down they like the younger/youngest slightly more then
the elder(s). Think about it : When something breaks in your house, parents tend to yell at oldest
sibling first. Or, when grandparents visit, the better gifts go to the youngest sibling. |

The child that gives them the less b.s..... I don't believe favor... The one that is more
challenging you tend to give more attention to because your afraid they are going to screw up more.
The child that has a consistent pattern of doing well tends to get less attention. This all has to
do with temperament. The easier child usually has the better temperament. Much easier to get along
with and less irritable. Their is usually one dominant one passive. The passive sits back and
watches learns from the dominants impulsive mistakes. |

I don't know how often but it definitely happens. |

Do you get along or just understand one of your parents or one of your siblings a little better than
the others? It doesn't you mean you love anyone more or less it just means you maybe have a little
more compatible personalities. It doesn't have to be a big deal. |

Especially if they only have one child. |

Most parents do have a favorite, but that doesn't mean that the others are loved any less. Love has
nothing to do with having a favorite. Having a favorite simply means that the parents have a belief
that the favored child is guaranteed to succeed. Not always the case, but that is pretty much it. |

I actually agree.....my parents say they love us all but i know they love one more..my older sister |

True. I'm the middle child and the only girl.. My mum favours my oldest brother tho she would never
admit it she knows it true :P and the rest of the time my little brother takes up a lot of time and
attention... Though it doesn't really bother me as much as it used to... It still winds me up coz my
older brother knows hes the favourite.... But never mind :P |

I guess so, but i know that most parents love their children equally. |

Yah i assume that every parent has a favorite that they LIKE better. But i do believe that in the
end they LOVE all their children just the same. |

Love is complicated thing, it’s not similar to like or dislike...
With the fact that I agree about this topic, I also probably agree with charlee about loving each
the same but differently.
And if parents ignore one of their children, doesn’t mean they don’t love him.
Sometimes it happens that some children share the same interests with their parents, which means
they will spend more time with them, and they may possibly create kind of friendship relation that
other jealous children in the family call (favorite child)
Believe Me I am Child :-) |

This matters entirely on the parents now doesn't it. No humans are mentally the same so two might
think its wrong to have favorites and never do and another two might have the oldest or youngest as
favorites. |

Yes that is true cause me and my cousin are the least favorite kids |

Most parents may favor one child but they should be smart enough not to show their preference. |

It is very much true. That is just the way it is in most families. |

I have 3 children and I don't have a favorite.... I like to shop w/ my daughter more, I like to play
games w/ my son more, I have my favorite things to do w/ each, but none of them are my "favorite" |

Stranger, these are two great topics, this one and the one about bias.
I have three daughters, well actually, my wife and I have have three great daughters. Of course, I
think they are the three greatest females to walk the planet (non-family members have told me this
is true, as well :-) ))
They are truly different personalities, and my involvement with each has been very different in many
ways, but I also have changed through time as their father. However, to say I have a favorite is
untrue. I love each the same and differently. Sometimes I have been much more involved in one more
than the others, based on each daughter's needs at the time. |

I don't think that's true. I think parents love their children equally. At least they try to. |

I say no if you want to have a fav child then only have 1 if you have 2 and have a fav child then
its not fair to the other one and it will be obvious and if its like that i would feel bad for the
other child |
