do you have a favorite child?

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.

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. LOL

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.

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!

^^^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.

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.

I don't play favorites. I sell them all for as much as I can.

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.

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.

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

I love you and am so glad you are a friend.


I can only hope this favoritism isn't shown in the household. That will mess a child up for life.

It is always shown. We may not put all the pieces together until we are adults, but everyone figures it out in the end.
