Among Your Children Did You Love One Over The Others?

Tough question but honesty is required here. Parents when asked by their kids often say, "I love you all the same", but that is not always the case.
 

We had 4 kids in a 5-1/2 year span, 3 girls and a boy. Love 'em all and like 'em as well. The 4 of them were all together at our son's home in Connecticut this past week-end. Our 3 daughters had gone down for their "Sisters week-end". which they celebrate every year. Usually they go to the cottage in Maine and Scott's wife (our wonderful DIL) is always included. This year she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and our girls made the week-end at her house. They all had a good time although they mentioned that she tires easily. Sad times for our family as she is only 55 and an RN so she knows what she has ahead of her.

Anyway -great kids and they have made our aging a pleasure.
 
i have 2 sons, and i must say i favour the youngest , who is like me,
my eldest is so much like his father ( my ex)....so even though i love him, i dont particularly like him !
 
I love them equally and if I didn’t Love them equally I’d never let them know. I think it’s one of the most harmful things a parent could ever do to a child! I’ve seen it in action and it’s terrible....
 
No way, Jose`. We have a daughter and a son. Both are uniquely different. We love them both the same and show no favoritism. We make sure to keep everything =. It’s like back when we dipped out ice cream. We had to make sure both were the same height. My son even brought out the scale my wife used when she would make her homemade candy, so he could weigh the two ice cream dishes. He only did that once.
 
It's funny reading this topic brought back memories of my Parents. They were both wonderful people, but my Mother favored my older brother and older sister over me. I was always being picked on for anything that happened. My sister would always stand up for me and even take the blame for anything my Mother would accuse me of doing. My Dad didn't have any favorites and loved us all very much. He never once said anything bad about any of us. After my Dad passed away I brought my Mother in to live with me and my family but she said many times that she would rather be living with my sister. Because of how I grew up I made sure I treated my 2 children equally. It was easy because in my eyes they were both perfect and still are perfect..
 
love them both the same - but iam closer to the young one more '
