What to do if your spouse favors one child.

I would point it out to them and let them know the damage it could to to both kids. I would try to get to the heart of why my spouse didn't connect with both children the same. I have 4 children and I don't play favorites. I try to give each child several ways in which they are special. It's a balancing act really.

Well it makes things alot harder when they don't realize it or think they aren't doing anything wrong. Are your children old enough to notice the difference? Could you possibly try setting "quality time dates" where you take the one child and he takes the other child that he needs to pay attention to somewhere for quality time?

Unfortunately that each human has their own characteristics, and unfortunately in the case of children, eventhough this can happen, you must pull the other parent to the side, let them know and even if they deny it, point out true examples because eventhough it is natural it can cause problems within the household and behaviorial problems with the child that feels he is being neglected. The other parent must be made to realize this to and come to realize that this could be a very more serious problem than it is now.

I would kick him in the head and if that does not work tell him that it has to change and start writing down what he does and the date and time and show it to him. Maybe he will finally relize that he is really doing it.
