I know as parents we don't want to pick favorites or say we love one more than another, and I don't, I love both my children just as much as the other. But I do love different things about them, I love my daughter for her independence and wit and her passion, I love my son for his strong will and intensity and compassion. (amongst many other things of course) I do treat them differently though too, in a good way though I think, I try to nurture and encourage there individual strengths while at the same time challenge them to be better at there weaknesses. What about your children stand out and makes you love them as an individual? Do you have a "favorite"? Do you treat your children differently?

I do agree with you that one of your children would always have something different from the others as every person is unique. And by that I mean, that parent as you are, you need to see these indifferences between them in the positive side and would never use them to compare your children in a destructive way. But rather, treat them equally despite their different assets and shortcomings. It has to be the parents who need to understand their children first and would bring out the best in them...thus I would say favortism in the family should be a big NO.
