Do you make preferences between their children?

We are a family with 5 children with me being the oldest one. We have come across a problem that we are not used to. My mother makes prefers with her third child. A young man now aged 25. From when we were young children she always preferred my brother just because he is very very fussy. With a word from him, you will find her doing what he wants.
I am not asking if partents SHOULD make difference between one child or the other because it is very obvious that the answer is no. I am asking "In reality do they actually make a difference?" It is different.

My mother loves us all and tries to be impartial and treat everybody equal. There were times were I thought she was favouring my other sister in financial matters but I had to bit my lip. I never made money as my God, never will. She can do what she wants with her own money and I have no right to order her what to do with it. Though I suffered at that time, perhaps I was not aware of the needs of my other brothers/sisters. It's a thing of the past now. Now I don't think much about it. I guess even parents can make mistakes when they prefer a particular child. Sometimes they make preferences without knowing. My mum favours my son over her other grandchildren. She treats every child the same giving them attention and sweets. But her heart fills with joy when my son is at her house. She does not do any preference but it's a thing that you can notice.
