Who was the favored child in your house?

I'm the youngest of three kids. My brothers and I all were treated equally. None of us were treated differently from one another because my parents don't believe in favoritism which I'm so happy of because no one should feel less than another. No one.

I was the favored child of my mother till I was 8 and my sister was always my fathers favored child. For my house I don't feel I have a favorite child but my relationships with my children are all different. If you ask my daughter she would say my middle child (son) if you ask my man he would say my daughter, but if anyone gets left out of the mix it would have to be my youngest child. He is so quiet that it is hard cause sometimes it is the squeaky wheel that gets the oil.

I am the youngest of 1 brother. There was 2 years between me and my youngest brother. Neither of us were spoiled and I do not feel that there was a favoured child.

Well generalizations, the middle child is always crazy. My brother was the oldest and got everything. Still does. I'm the youngest and I'm the responsible one. Had to be. Most people I know who were older were the favored child. So I don't think the generalizations you've heard are the same as the ones I've heard.

LOL Sounds about right to me though, scientific fact or not! I am the baby of 5 kids. There was 8 years between me and my youngest brother. Ask any of them and they will say I was the favored one. I beg to differ. I think my second youngest sister was and still is the most favored child of us all. I was the black sheep, always the one doing her own thing, not listening to anyones rules and just being me! I know my parents loved me but I know they wished I would have done some things differently in life. Oh well, cant change it now! They never disowned me or anything so it wasnt all that bad, I just know they werent really happy with me at times. I think I was spoiled though, mainly because I was the last unexpected child and my parents were tired. Then they divorced when I was in Jr High and so my mom wasnt really around too much after that because she went back to work, so I had to do a lot for myself. She gave me what I wanted when I wanted it, and I've sort of carried that over into adult hood. lol Not always a good thing! Bay Lay Gray xx

Well between me and my sister, she was adored mostly.. But out of my cousins, me and my sister were adored.. But overall, I was adored by my grandmother, we was very close..

My parents were impartial towards their children and as a result every one was treated equally and no was given any special favour. Among the brothers and sisters, there were favourites but that in no way caused any inconvenience to parents. It is better not to show any special favour, because it may develop jealous or hatred in those who have not received the favours. It should not even be discussed. The complexes of inferiority and superiority will also develop, if favouritism is permitted.

i am the favorite child in my home being studying college because of my sister had married. so age is not important

I am the eldest in my own family, with two younger brothers and no sisters. Actually, my middle brother was the "favored" one. He was the type of baby who loved to be cuddled and even when he was four and five years old, my mother would put him on her hip and carry him, although he was a pretty big kid, but she did it because he wanted her to. Later on, after I was married and gone, and my middle brother had had an accident with a head injury, it seemed that Mom's attention shifted to my baby brother...he ended up with my room AND his own room after I moved out (they cut a hole in the wall between and adjoined the rooms!), and he was just *spoiled rotten* as they say. And then he got his girlfriend pregnant and got married, and we are all grown now, and it seems like my Mom's favoritism has shifted to ME. She even told me recently how proud she is of me. Weird, since we never got along very well when I was younger. Huh....do you think that favoritism shifts sometimes? Thanks for the post, it was interesting!

Am an elder one in my family...and in my experience the yongest one will be the favourite one for them ....i dont know the truth behind this but this is fact ...

yes, not always but most of the time. i am the eldest of two.and i would have to say my younger brother was the favored one.

My brother was definitely the favorite child I was always anger and my sister was always crying... probably related to me being anger.

well i dont think any of us were favored when we were children but now that we are adults i think my mom has her favorites... there are 7 of us but as we were growing up we were all treated the same.

i agree with you because i am the middle child and my oldest brother was a trouble maker ( he's in jail now ) but becuase he was a messup my mother was extra hard on me. and then my younge brother gets away with anything and he still does and he is 21.
