i always know that i am my mother's favorite. since she told me that, of course hidden from my 2 sisters, lol. but ifever i am not i would know that if she would always keep her side to my sisters no matter what i do to please her. i guess that the most simple way to know it.

Hello!
hehehehe that picture was funny! poor lil bird...
Anyway, I don't really know if who is my mom's favorite, me or my brother but in our family we call my brother as 'mother's boy' and me 'father's girl' but we don't take it literally.
My mother doesn't show any favoritism to us, she's always equal when it comes to love, attention, care and giving punishment hehehe. I reckon all mother love their children in any ways and our mother is our biggest and number fan.
Although there are some children who are suffering ang being deprived of motherly love, and I feel sad for them. Take care *smile*
ciao! c",)

Hello youless..thats a great photo and though it looks like the mom bird is actually sitting one baby to feed the other, we all know from our own experiences, mothers never show favoritism......but i do have a friend who had a tough time with her mom. Most mothers i guess love all their children equally.

I was taught that parents did not have favorites, but on the other hand I have always been able to tell that I am my dad's favorite. I was the one who would wake up with him early to go fishing or to the jobsite with him. He says I am not his favorite, and he loves us all the same. But I know better....=) I do not have a favorite child. I love them both the same, and I was really worried about this when I was pregnant with my second child. But it is no problem for me now. They are both beautiful, and smart girls. They do act different, but the likes about them just equal out.

I have not come across any mother who shows favoritism to one child and animosity to another child..
Luckily my Parents are not like that, especially my Mom, is very nice..and has not shown any favoritism to any one of us in the family, since our childhood.
So my friend, i cant answer to this topic as such,.

It may be a problem in the countries such as China and India!there are two and more children in the family there.Traditionally ,the small child would be loved more by parents!To the contrary ,I may be mother's favourite child instead of my sister.
In fact ,mother loves us equally,but is more mild to me!

I am also my Mom's favorite only child, when the weather is cold, she calls me to dress more clothes, when i am ill, she worries so much, when i cries, she conforts me, when i need her, she will be with me soon, i am her world, and she is also my world as well as my Dad, i love them with my heart.
Now i am unable to visit them because of the busy work and long distance
But my love for them will not change forever

To me i think you can know through observation of the relationship between you and your mom and that of the other children. who does she disclose most of her secrets and give much advices. does she become angry when you make some mistakes and correct you or just look at you and go on? you if a mom loves a child every misbehaviour makes her go mad due to the fact that she wants your bright future and will be on you to do the right thing. she'll tell you all that she has been doing to keep you in the future. if you're ignored then ask yourself what have you done and have fallen out of your mom's love? depending on the child's attitude you can be your mom's favourite or not. when you go according to her norms and values you have a good stand to win her favour.

Hello youless. I have three siblings, but I think that my parents do not have a bias on a special one of us. They love us all without ignoring any one of us. This is what a parent is supposed to do.
Thanks for the photo attached here.

i don't know how to feel as for me my mother don't have favoritism at all. When we were young the treat us equally. You have to be fair to all of you children in a way they will not think that they are not loved. Treat your child equally so there's no one will be hurt.

My mother could not love another child because I was her only one haha, so that was an easy question for me. But I do not favore my own kids. I have 3 children and like all of them in their own way. They all have their own things they are good at and I am proud of them and do not like one better than the other.
