I have one, so he is my favorite!
He has some of my traits, and some of his dad's, but fortunately, I think he's gonna turn out okay!0 -
My "favorite" changes depending on which one isn't being obnoxious at the moment. :laugh: Right now, they both are, so I have no favorite.0

My favorite child? My kids asked me that one day - my favorite kid would be......(drum roll) MY DOGS!!!! lol
They never complain about getting the same thing for breakfast/lunch or dinner.
They are ALWAYS happy to see me (even if they were in trouble before I left for work).
and They never talk back.
Seriously, I don't do the favorite child thing, my son and daughter are unique in their own special ways. I love them both equally. I had my son when i was very young, so I had to grow up quick and now we like the same shows/music/authors. My daughter is a little character and loves to ham it up, loves to dress up in cute dresses and be a girlie girl (nothing like how I was as a kid).
My parents had their "favorites" - yea, does not make for a conducive environment.0 -
Well, my son just cleared all the bookmarks off my computer, so he's not the current favorite.0

I have a favorite 18 year old son and a favorite 23 year old son. :laugh:0
-
Right now it is my youngest. She hasn't gotten to the point where she is a ***** to me and we get along well. She just turned 18 on Saturday.0
-
Yes, growing up in my house I was my favorite child . . . oh, we're talking about our own children . . .0

Unless you have an only child, I do not want to hear about the favorite child...0

Really? Really?! I know you are looking to start some form of a ****storm but I just wanna smack you, really hard!!!0

^^^This!!! No favorites here. They each have their strong points and their week points, but I love both my boys equally. When you have more than one child you heart grow big enough to love them all the same.0 -

settle down. actually, i wasn't looking to start anything. it is an innocent question.
i do have a favorite, but neither one of my children would know it. in fact, both my boys think the other one is the favorite, so i must be doing something right.
my husband can't figure out who it is and we've talked about it. 0 -
^This or close to it. They are all my favorites for different reasons. One I talk to about work (similar fields). One I work out with. One is SOO funny. The other is smart and I love to argue politics with him. I watch the same TV shows with my daughters so then they are my favorites. I talk philosophy and religion with the funny one. ( I love this.) The older one provided me with excellent, smart, funny grandkids. So he's my favorite for that reason. Four awesome kids with the capacity to be my "favorite" for different reasons.I have a favorite 18 year old son and a favorite 23 year old son. :laugh:
Lucky me. 0 -
isn't the husband always the favorite child??

I have 3 of my own children and 4 step they all have things I love about them none of them any more then the other. one likes the same kindof books, one movies, and so on. each has something diffrent that makes me love them all the same.0

I do but it changes often. Well, not really but that's what I tell them. When one of the four I have does something really sweet I jokingly tell them (loudly so all can hear) that they have "Favored Child Status". It can be cleaning up something without being asked, waiting on me if they see I need a refill or a dish taken to the kitchen or just about anything. Today I worked out in my beautiful new yoga socks, knit for me by my 15 year old DD. Yes, she did get favored child status for making them!
(But IRL, no one child is my favorite. I have some that are easier to get along with but the one who is sometimes difficult certainly doesn't get delegated to unfavored. She's just exactly like her mother so we clash. I pointed it out to her and made it a good thing instead of acting like she was at fault. We're just passionate people! She's the one who made me the socks! ) 0 -

I find that sad but your life not mine.
Trust me though,your kids will figure it out at some point.
Not trying to be snarky but do you really want to do that to one of them?0 -
I have Three boys and I have to say I do not know how you could have a favorite. My boys are all so unique and wonderful in their own ways. I can honestly say I love my boys equally and can not imagine my life without them!0

I don't have a "favorite" right now because my kids are pretty young, but I do have one that I understand more than the other. My son is a complete mystery to me and I have a hard time relating to him sometimes. I don't think having a favorite means you love one more than the other, just that you get along with them better. And that's bound to happen with people -- some people we click with, and some people we don't.0

What kind of point are you trying to make here? That you have the power to potentially psychologically hurt your "unfavorite"?...this thread shouldn't be under "Chit Chat Fun and Games"...it should be filed under "Dumba$$ Ramblings to get a rise out of the populace"
EFF OFF!...hey, you scored a point...you got me riled and that is hard to do.

Yep, the dog. I have said this many many times for all the reason's you mentioned.
Seriously though, I don't have a favorite. I have 3 very different boys. I relate to each of them very differently. I love them for what they are and what they can become. Somedays I don't love them at all but that is being a mom. LOL0 -
Well......... I used to say no.
Then Wednesday happened.
And on that particular day, my favorite was the one I DIDN'T have to go bail out of jail at 5:00 am.0 -

^^^This exactly. In fact, have have three boys as well. While one may test my patience more than the others, they are all three such fantastic and unique kids. Each of them has such different personalities but they are the 3 absolute loves of my life.

This thread makes me a little nauseous, but I'm not really surprised. It's not the first thread by the OP to do that.0
-
You know this thread is just trying to stir up issues. I mean really any parent with a true favorite is probably not the best parent.0
-
I don't play favorites. I sell them all for as much as I can.0

Your profile page says you're a "Christian". Where is Christ's love in what you're saying?? I don't feel it at ALL...shame on you!
*Edit to add: I've NEVER commented negatively to another MFP member....until now.0 -
Both of my children have a lot of me in them
and
Both of them have a lot of my ex husband in them
I love them both equally. I'm not sure you could have a favorite.0
