Be honest. Which of your kids is your favorite?

Middle child. Oldest child has ASD and brings no joy to our lives. I love the youngest but she has a difficult temperament.

Same for my two sons. Interestingly, out of 6 kids, I was my Dad's favorite and he told everyone.

Same. I was my dads favorite, and while he didn’t outright tell anyone except me, it was obvious. Caused a lot of problems among my siblings and I, to the point where we don’t talk anymore. Even in our 30s they were still angry and lashing out at me for being the favorite. I had to cut them off for my own sanity despite all the guilt I felt. I understand their anger, but I didn’t ask to be the favorite.

DP. If you have a favorite, why is it them?

Your siblings shouldn't have taken it out on you. I'm sorry to hear that.

DP. Why?

I honestly have no favorite. I tell them you are my favorite son/daughter (I have one of each)

Second (youngest). I am a snuggler and so is he. He is also really positive and just so sweet. He’s kind of like a puppy, loves without expecting anything. The oldest doesn’t like snuggling so much and is more negative and volatile.

But I adore her too. She is so fun to be around and we have the best conversations. She is hilarious and creative and it doesn’t hurt that she likes me even though she’s a teenager.

No. Used to, but now only feel duty. There is no reciprocity and my child is violent.

This is horrible. I bet your child can feel that. It's your job as a parent to love your children unconditionally.

Whichever one isn’t actively tormenting me at a given moment.

Really depends on who is being an a-hole at the moment.

I have 4. They all seem to piss me off equally, although #3 is really winning this contest lately. #4 is the baby so yea it seems like he’s the favorite a lot because he’s the cutest. But I really don’t have a favorite. I had a lot of kids because I love them all.

My youngest of four is soon to be one years old and that at this stage she is adorable! The older ones can drive me nuts but I do adore them. But the baby is so easy but I know that that will change!
