Do parents really love their children equally, or is it just something they say?

Do you agree that we love them equally, but differently, not the same way for each one. A parent loves each child for who that particular child is, not just as a generic 'child'; and that child is different from each of his/her brothers and sisters. So you love them all equally, intensely, but differently.

This might not be politically correct but I do beleive that we love them different but equally. I have a boy and a girl. I find that I am harder on my daughter but not as hard on my son. But my husband is harder on my son than my daughter and I tend to baby him more and my husband babies my daughter. It is hard to explain. But I think you are right, equally but different.

I think you can't "measure" love but yes, each child can be loved in a "different" way - the child's personality can play a role - in the same way we are drawn to certain people over others.
