[quote=Anonymous]Oh man. This definitely exists but I think the more common dynamic is what we have with our kids- two very very different relationships with two very different kids. My oldest is a twice exceptional kid (gifted + SN) and she has a lot of needs and we spend a ton of time and money to help her. Some of it is obvious (e.g , going to therapy) but some of the accommodations she needs probably seem like us putting her needs over her brother. But I snap at her occasionally despite my best efforts and I’m always so upset with myself. I think she’s an incredible person and love her for who she is but it’s tough sometimes. My younger one is typical and is easier and we have an easier relationship which is very warm. I bet there are people who think I strongly favor the older one and others who think I favor the younger one. [/quote]
