we lie that we love our children the same but i doubt it.you tend to love one child more than the rest.there is the natural part to love and care more for the youngest or the sick child but what of when they are all grown up ,how do you decide which child you like more?my friend is upset with her mom because she says her mum loves her brother since he keeps giving the mom money,so as a parent not just a mum what do you look at choosing your favourite child?

I do not wanted one day my children would blame me for not giving them the proper love a parent should give to their children,that is why my love to them all are equal and the same.There are moments that we have some financial difficulties,that I must tell the other children to wait because I have to work harder to make their wants a reality.I have been telling all my children to be careful and I also tell them everyday that I love them all.I have no favorite,because all of them are my joy and love.

I do not know if you were reading carefully what I tried to explain to you,that i have no favorite amongst my children,that when I have the chance to buy what they wanted,I have to buy first the one who needed most his want,then if ever I have the money,I will also buy to the other children.What do you think of my explanation,does that puzzled you to not understand?As I told you I have no favorites from all my children because I have given them the correct attention a parent should give to their children.I think I have already explain to you my side.

I'd like to always think that I will always treat my children equally. But maybe when a parent get older, he/she tends to cling on more to the child that gives him/her more attention. But also, I think that it would depend on what kind of attitude that parent has. As an example, my grandmother lived with her youngest son and his family. And since his son has no means of earning, she provided for his family. Although my uncle and his family did not show much appreciation to what my grandmother did, my grandmother always had that "heart" for his youngest child. My mom, being successful in her career and his eldest brother, being a doctor have always managed to make it on their own, but t didn't mean that my grandmother loved them less. It's just that my grandmother feels that she needs to be the "guiding light" of my youngest uncle and his family.

There are times that parents are really bias in terms of giving care and love for their children. But as a parent they are always checking on ways so as to avoid being impartial as a parent. It must be a difficult job as a parent. There are parents who make conscious efforts so as keep their temper against a child compared to another.

I don't love my children the same, I'm not going to lie about that because they are two different people personality and all. But I do love them and that is what matters I don't love one more then the other that is hard to do for me to love one complete more the the other. I know one longer then the older of course. I can't decide which one gets more love then the other which one is better then the other. When a parent loves a child more because of money it's for there own greed it's not love at all it's just to get what they want. Real love you don't care about money especially when it comes your own children all you care about is them being happy, healthy and safe.

why paretns do that? more love than others...i think that will give bad impact when they'r gorwth up, and that can make like 'enemy' and think like 'enemy'. all kid is our child, we have take care of them well, give education and other. So, when they are replaced us as foundation in family, we will now that every kid is the same. There's no kid more clever than other, more nice, more handsome. I think they are the same as long as they have good relation with others forever.
