My parents had seven children - I have five brothers and one sister. It honestly never, ever occurred to me (and I don't think to any of my siblings) that Mum or Da might favour one over the others. We were all loved consistently, punished as needed, and encouraged in whatever we attempted.
As far as favoured parents go, I was MUCH closer to Da than to Mum. Don't get me wrong; I love my mother dearly, and I hope she's with us for many years to come. But my father was not only the best man I've ever known, he was also the best man I'd ever heard of.
