why do children beleive that their parents loves their siblings more than ...?

I think children are much more possessive in nature than normally grownups are. it just happens to be that sometimes they, out of their very possessive nature can't see other siblings getting more attraction of their parents and if he/she succeeds they get jealous and normally blame goes to the parents. but there are factors for which parents mey get involved with one child more than others which not neccessarily mean that they love that perticular child more than others. for example if a child has some health problems more than others, he is gonna get more attention and care than others, but kids won't understand the cause and they just see the actions. so end up blaming the parents of favoritism, lol! there may be other reason, for example my younger brother got more attention of his mother than rest of us because father was more rude to him. so every one of us thought that mom loved him more than other children, but it's only now that i understand her behavior. i myself don't have this problem till now coz i just have one kid:-) so let's see what happens when others will come but i just hope and pray that it never happen to me. coz that is gonna pinch..favoritism blame from your own children, lol! anyway best of luck

Sometimes parents do have favorites when it comes to their children.You cant help it.It really shows up too.My mother likes my sister more than me and I'm pretty sure about this from her actions and I'm not angry with her at all.She basically likes my sister more cuz she was the first child in our family.Moreover favoritism does exist everywhere.

I think children believe that because they are jealous of their siblings.

I do belive that this is a fact. I have even heard parents say that they love one more - even if they also love the other one. I also think that children have a tendensy to get jealous - it is in human nature to be =)

I felt this way growing up. Though I never asked my parents if it was true. I know now that it's not, though I couldn't help feeling this way as a kid.

I really do believe that you can't love all your kids equally. I feel that there will always be a particular child who'll endear himself to one parent more than the others. It's just a matter of not showing this favoritism to the other kids.

I think that some parents do love one or more of their children more than the others and it is obvious by the way they treat them that it is the case. As a parent I find it difficult to see how people can love one child more than any other children, but I know that it happens.
