It is universally known fact that parents love their children perhaps more than themselves.We hear so many stories of parents making so many sacrifices for their children.It is a fact that mother or father loves their sons and daughters.But recently I read that fathers love his daughters more than his sons and similarly mothers love more her sons than her daughters.When I began to think more and more about this it looks to be true. I am a father myself and I have three daughters and a son. I am inclined to do more for my daughters than my son.Similarly my wife always supports her son more than her daughters.How do you all feel about this...

I'm not sure with other families but its the way it is in my own family, Im the eldest in ours and I have 2 more sisters and a brother. I always believe in favoritism but i don't go against it, because I think its the childs own doing to be loved and become favorites, my brother is my mom's favorite and my sister who comes after my brother is my dad's favorite since she looks everyway like her. Its the way it is but we don't mind since they love us exactly the way we needed and want to be loved. My other siblings still argue on favoritism though.

It has been the feelings among children when there are sons and daughters in numbers.In the case of single child this feeling does not arise.We were eight ..three brothers and five sisters.I too had that feeling in my younger days.As we grew that feeling disappeared particularly after I became a father having three daughters and a son. Parents deny the statement.But some myloters confirmed the statement as true....

As you rightly said parents may not aree the statement.Which father can say that he does not love his sons and similarly which mother can say that she does not love her daughter.Very delicate issue.But psychologically the statement appears to be true as confirmed by some myloters.What ever it may the parents love their children more than themselves.A little preference may be there some times some where but universally it is not correct....

Not really, I know a lot of parents that close with mother and daughter and father and son. Maybe in some cases in the family. But I think we need to love them both in the same degree.

When there is only one child it is difficult to say whether father love more his daughter and mother loves more her son because such experience is felt.When there are daughters and sons such experience may be felt or may not be felt.What I said is only a statement the truth of which no one is sure about.But some myloters have confirmed the statement as true for the reasons given by them...

Yes .Siblings love mother more because they are depent on mother for eerything like eating clothing etc.Fathers donot render much service to childre.Here we are concerned with fact that whether father loves more of daughtes than sons and similarly mother loves more of sons than daughtrs.Wat you said applies to children and not to parents...

It is the fact of my family.When we were in our childhood,my father always took my side,while my mother went to my brother.But they were very fair to judge us who was wrong.However,when we all growed up,it is not obvious about this bias.

..hi.. well, maybe that's true.. in some cases, daughters are more likely closer to their father than to their mother just as sons are more closer to their mother than to their father..maybe this is the structure in the family.. however, it doesn't mean that we love somebody more than anybody of the members of the family.. we love everybody, only that, we are closer to somebody because we feel more comfortable with them..
