This makes me angry. Do you have a favorite child? My nanna plays favorites and always has. I am her favorite. Out of 11 grandchildren Im her favorite. Now they all know this and I have coped some flack over it for years. I didnt ask for it and have never really enjoyed it . My question is do you play favorites? If so why? If not did someone in your family play favorites? How did this affect you?

YES I have always been my daddy's favorite daughter I guess because I was his first born. I have 2 other sisters and he treated us all very good but I got more attention and more priveleges from him. When allowance time came aorund I would get more money than them but I wouldnt tell them, or If i did something wrong he say im punished in my room for the whole day BUT I would be out within an hour LOL so i guess it did have its perks for me growing up but I also got alot of resentment from my sisters always telling me I was daddy's favorite.
I didnt ask to he favorite..I was chosen so Im not gonna lie and say I didnt take advantage of it because I did.

My older sister got the same treatment from our mom, and i guess in a way i got it from my dad, but then my other sister still to this day, feels resentment towards both of us, because she always felt like she wasnt good enough for either of our parents. I hate that she feels that way, but i didnt take advantage of the treatment i was given, my dad was hardly ever home.

Yea I dont think thats a good idea for parents to play favorites because it can cause conflict with the other siblings in the family. All the children should be treated equal no one should feel more attention that the other.

I was onced asked my mama who is her favorite among her children,she smiled at me and said,he has no favorite..we are all her favorites coz we are all the perfect gifts she received,i was really touched by her message. But my granny i think he like our oldest sibling as what i've noticed,she gave all my brother wanted without any hesitations,but it's not the same when it comes of me and the other,but it's ok with me it didn't affects me at all,my bro aren't a different person to be jealous.

My sister was my dad's favourite. It used to annoy me, but it doesn't anymore. I never blamed my sister for it either, I know it wasn't her fault that she was his favourite. My dad only speaks to my sister now.

It really doesn't bother me, I feel that I am better off not having anything to do with him. He never treated me right, he used to put me down and I used to put up with it. I am happy to have nothing to do with him.

I guess in some way i do play favorites with my oldest, i have three children, but he has a different biological father than my other two. His real dad is not in his life at all, and never has been in 6 years. My current boyfriend (who is also the father of my other two children) has been in my sons life since he was 2 years old, but stilltreats him differently than the two we have together, so in some way i feel like i need to give him that extra little bit of attention because he feels jealousy over his little bro, and sis, i do not want him to feel that he is any less of a person than they are.
