He is a brat who needs to be taught some manners.  I would never let my children to speak to me so disrespectfully!  You should have taken him back to school, called a Uber to take him home.[/quote]
Kid said his true feelings; there's no evidence it was said disrespectfully.  I'm sure you're joking about the Uber, though that gave me a laugh.

My kids prefer dad to pick them up because he takes them to 7-11 almost every time (which irritates the heck out of me).  Whatever, they prefer me for other other things.  It doesn't mean they love you unequally.  My son would prefer if only I came to his games because dad is embarrassing.  I would never say it to them, but my kids' personalities are such that I prefer one or the other for particular activities.  For example, one is super extraverted and the other is anxious, so if I had a choice I'd prefer taking the outgoing one to new activities.  The one who is more anxious is also better behaved, so I'd rather take him if the activity requires quiet behavior.  I don't love one or the other more, it's just an acknowledgment of their differences.  Don't take it personally.  Don't feel a need to bribe with candy, as suggested by a pp, either.[/quote]
