    Wow. 

    Although, no parent loves all their children the same. None of them. We know exactly who the favorites are in my family, and I can tell you that my middle bro was totally justified to feel weird in our family and find a new one (he's much closer to his ILs than to us.). 

    The only people who don't have favorite kids are the parents of onlies.

    All I can think is Ww would say, "she's just shown her a$$ to the world" or something like that.

    1) I am totally expecting this one day....


    "Have you ever thought God has made it so freaking difficult for you to have children because you are a rotten, snotty, biatch! You deserve every pain and heartache you are getting." 

    from some crazy beebee or troll.

    2) Yes, to what BMom has said. I've grown to prefer my ILs to my own family, too. It was clear that middle MinM sister was my father's favorite. I think she paid a price for that, though. She took it much harder when he left/went to crazytown.

    3) Even if there are not favorites, you love different people in different ways. I am not saying more or less, but in diffferent ways. It is never excatly the same.

    4) I think the OP is weird because in her siggy she describes herself as a wife and a mother ONLY. Wasn't she a person before all of that? Is she nothing in her own right. Women like that creep me out.

    I don't expect people to not remember what I write. If I tell stories about how H was an ass, people will remember that.  If I wrote I wanted to give child A and B was so much better, they would remember that too.  DUH.

    Aren't parents able to act as though they love all their children the same, even if they don't?  Genuine question.

    It depends.  We're all human and fallible.

    Parents *should* be able to do this, but some people just aren't capable.

    I do think that my parents and my IL's are great examples of loving all their children individually.  Not more or less, but just loving them as the people they are.

    I think it's okay to relate more to one child than the other, but to tell people you want to give one away and that #2 was never wanted anyway?, not okay.

    Yes and no.<div>
    </div><div>My mother was always very obvious in whom she favored, at least to my eyes. My father was much more even-handed, and it took until I was an adult to figure out I was his favorite. </div><div>
    </div><div>I think good parents don't let on so much, and of course when you're young, you don't actually notice. I didn't really think of any of this until I was a teen, and my mom's favoritism extended to saying to my brothers, "You don't want to be another Baconsmom, do you?!" But, of course, I don't think I'd necessarily call her a "good" parent, so. </div>

    this is one of the majeur reasons why i do not believe in karma. 

    my parents' favorites went on rotation.  when i was younger, my mom favored my brother, and my dad favored my sister.  then it was my dad and me and my mom and my sister.  and then later ... and so on.

    I saw that yesterday.  While I'm quite familiar with LCB's tactics of pot-stirring, that other girl needs to be commited somewhere.  PPD is not an immunity badge for being a giant twat.  Despite what her defenders say, I'm pretty sure she was messed up before dealing with an "awful" baby or whatever she calls her youngest.

    Kuus - no. After my parents split my mom would rail on my dad and then when she was upset with me, she would say I was JUST like him.

    I read that last night.  The OP is just sick.  Her PPD doesn't giver her a pass either. 

    For Kuus- I think my parents did a great job of loving us fairly as individuals and as we needed it.  As a teen I accused them of loving 1,2, or 3 more.  As an adult, I see that they were in different stages of a relationship with them.  I can also recognize now that I don't need the reassurances and physical closeness my sister does.  I also know that it took time for my mom to figure out that we all needed something different too.
