Oh, family...
My mum cheated on my dad, so they got divorced and me and my kid brother stayed with dad. We'd visit mum for a weekend every 2 weeks.
She tried to buy my brother off with presents he could only use when he was with her, and he went along with it... after all, he was only 2 and half when she moved out. I was 4.not much older, but enough to realize that I had to side with dad... didn't know the details, back then, but I knew mum did something bad.
Clearly, my mum favored my brother, but I didn't care.
My dad took equal care of us both.I can't say, to this day, if he has a favorite. We're different people and he deals with each of us in the best way he can... And I find him to be spot on, every time.
Now me... I have 3 kids. Is there a favorite?
There's the eldest that drives me nuts; the middle one gets along great with everyone, but has a few trouble spots... And the youngest keeps trying to outdo his big brothers... I can't pick a favorite...they're different...
I'm toughest on the eldest...he needs it.I pay more with the youngest and try to get the other to grow aware that not everyone is meant to be a friend...
