[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Not all parents have favorites but it’s often interesting how those that do seem incapable of seeing. I think there’s often some willful denial in there, where they have elaborate systems for justifying why one kid gets a lot more attention, praise, or support (sometimes all three). But in the end it’s usually just because they like that kid most. I know a couple who does this with their eldest daughter to a degree that it seems impossible they wouldn’t see it. They have four kids and 8 grandchildren but if you talk to them, you’d think they only had one kid and that her four children were their only grandkids. They do not speak of the others unless you explicitly ask. The favorite isn’t more successful or more charming or personable. She’s just the favorite. It’s so strange.[/quote]
