Poll

Did you parents have a favorite child? Who was it and why do you think that?

Re: Poll

  • No my parents never showed favortisim towards any one of us.

    However, my brother being the only boy and the youngest- he got away with a lot of crap and still does!

  • I am a only child so yeah they did I got all the love and attention!

    Yes

  • Honestly....I have always been a "Daddy's girl," and my brother has always been a "Mama's boy."  I don't necessarily think that either of our parents actually prefers one of us over the other, but I think we both knew which parent to go to if we wanted anything.  We're (almost) 33 and 35, and it's still this way.

  • Yes, my mother preferred the middle child (there is me and I have two younger brothers). She always felt bad for him since he was the middle child and he got whatever he wanted. Well now he is a drug addict and no one ever hears from him.

    and I was her least favorite because she was jealous because I had the life that she didn't have (she actually told me this) ::eyeroll::

    and people wonder why I dont talk to her :O

  • I don't think so. We weren't always treated the same, but we were treated equal. Both of my parents have siblings that were (and still are) the favored ones, so I think they made a conscious effort to avoid letting that happen in almost all situations.

    Your mom was jealous of you?

    I think in a round about way so is TT's mother and it tears him apart. I have tried for 6 years for him to say or do something about it.

  • My brother and I are 11 years apart. I don't think we were treated differently. I think because I life here and my brother lives in NYC I am probably treated better because I am here and my mom can do things for me.

  • Yes, and I think it's me. I respect my parents, appreciate them, love being around them, and have always felt that way. I don't lie to them or try to hide parts of my life from them, as my younger sister does.

    I don't think they'd have a favorite if she wasn't so difficult and dishonest.
