[quote=Anonymous]I think it would help to define what a "favorite" is. If it really means that a parent would answer the question with, "Child B is my favorite," then I have to agree with one of the other PPs here that this fits my definition of a Bad Parent. I agree with others that some children are more easygoing, listen better, or have some other positive personality traits. For my parents that kid was definitely my younger brother - I think they probably preferred and still prefer to spend time with him. Who wouldn't want to have a more stress free afternoon? But I would be really upset if they said he was "their favorite." I have a similar situation. My younger son is really easygoing, does a good job listening, and he's also really legitimately funny with little effort. My older son is high tension, high energy, likes to argue and is not good at peaceful coexistence in general. But I love them both equally (which means as much as I have inside of me) and if asked to choose between them I have no idea how I would do that.[/quote]
