"I was never loved. She never loved me!" That's what my sister S said the other night while we were having dinner with sister C.
She was talking about how great our mother was to my son but then she said, she's the strongest among us coz my mom never loved her as the middle child.
We didn't say anything. But she was wrong. Having 5 children, it was difficult for mom to give us all the attention we needed. And I've seen her giving more attention to my other siblings than me but I never said she never loved me.
I believe she did love all of us in her own way or she wouldn't have disciplined us, gave us our basic needs, made sure to provide for us even in her death.

She is wrong when she said she was never loved. But our mother didn't love us equally. Her favorite was the first and second child. And we were all aware of it. But that didn't mean she didn't love us all.

@sjvg1976 Because it was too obvious. And we all witnessed it and we all knew it.

Most mothers love their children, sadly we know that some even killed their own children.
My mother loved both my brother and I, but she gave more attention to my brother. Her mother the same, she had 5 children, she gave more attention to her youngest son.

I believe that mothers with more than one children love all their children but there will always be one or two that they favor.

@LadyDuck That's very true. Our eldest brother and sister do look like my mom.

@toniganzon - It's not uncommon, they love more those who look more alike them.

Yes, and that's a real shame. Pretty's mom didn't want her but I didn't know that at first. She already had two daughters and wasn't really interested in having a third. When we started getting divorced, she told me to take my child when I left, so I did... Then she got mad because Pretty and I were happy without her so she tried to tell the judge that she was just "kidding" about not wanting Pretty. Thankfully, after a few years it became obvious she didn't really want anything to do with Pretty.

Pretty is lucky to have you. She has more love than that mother of hers could give because of you. Such a selfish woman!

Yes and I understood my mother for that since she has to manage her own business plus 5 children whom she wanted to have a great future.

@toniganzon I have three and each their own personalities. One with a mental issue so she had a bit more attention. I love them all and they know it.

My mother saw me as a burden she did not want
She said
If abortion had been legal here in the UK in 1960 I would not have been born.

I'm sorry your mother is such a selfish biatch. She doesn't deserve you. She shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place.
I prayed for my Craig and I consider him such a blessing in my life. Whenever people ask me how many children I would want. I said I wouldl have as many as long as I could financially and emotionally provide. And if I could offer equal love and attention to all of them, then I would want as many children as I could. However, when I had Craig and my two fur babies, I knew I was not capable of loving and giving attention to another child. And I don't want to be unfair.
Craig doesn't want another sibling either

Why would they ever try to have a child in this world if they wouldn't love them? I don't seem to understand those kind of mothers.

I couldn't understand how such can be even called a mother when they don't love their own child.

They might favor one child or the other or gives more attention to the other but it doesn't mean they don't love them all. I understood why our eldest sibling got our mother's attention. He was the first born and had a special place in her heart. And the first daughter too. But I know my mother loved all of us and loved me though she favored the two more.

Yes, there are mothers that don't love their children. Recently in India a CEO of a starter company killed her 3 year old son just because she was not satisfied by the maintenance the court announced for her child from her husband after their divorce. There are other instances too.

My mother always wanted a boy; so when my brother came along she spoiled him rotten.

I think sometimes love doesn’t look the same for every child in a big family. Some may feel it more than others, depending on circumstances, personality, and how each child processes their relationship with their mother. But providing for your children, disciplining them, and doing your best to take care of them is also a form of love. It’s sad when someone grows up feeling they weren’t loved, though, because that feeling is very real to them.
