Favoritism among one's children

Tweet

I know pretty much sure that this is not the first time you ever heard favoritism among families. Being the eldest daugther I am expected to be much closer to my father and so as my older brother who were expected to be much closer to our mother. Is this reality, normal or it just happened with out the intentions of playing favorites among one's children? I remember when I was 7 years old, we would visit my lola ( grandmother ). She would always persuade me to tell her stories on what have I done the past months we have'nt seen each other. Being the normal kid, with out hesitations I would tell her on how my mom treats me compared to how he treats my brother. I did'nt know back then that it was something, all that I know of was just maybe at a certain incident I got my mom mad at me so she favors my brother more often. Its only now that completely understand that it is something "inevitable". For sure I am not the sole person in this whole world who suffered from this kind of problem. I am not saying that I've been through a tough childhood. It made me stronger though and independent. What worries me most is my brother. I am not blaming my mom. My brother was raised knowing all the things no matter he knew it was bad, he would always think that my mom will always be there and would make wrong things right for him.
