Honestly, do you have a favorite child?

Im not talking about loving one more then the others. I have found with being a stepmom and now bio mom there have been times in my children's lives where for a time one was a lot easier to parent then others and I tended to favor that child. I'm probably horrible for saying that.

I have moments when I prefer one over the others... but it is always changing and tends to be an in-the-moment kind of thing.  Sometimes I feel most connected to my daughter since she is the only girl.  Sometimes I feel most connected to my youngest since he is only 2 and the most needy and clingy and lovey with me.  Sometimes I feel most connected to my middle child because he likes to get silly the most.  It always changes, though.  I don't have one that I feel that I favor over the others, all of the time.

I really don't. My boys are so different and are amazing and fun in totally different ways. I think the two if them being so different makes it so much more fun to be their mom.

Haha...that's crazy! Damn Dr lol....My older boy is def super dramatic and my youngest is only 7 months so hopefully he'll be chill!

Quoting Robe739IsBack:

I wasn't kidding. LMAO!



Ok, ok... I was (kinda, sometimes).



But seriously.... I favor my son, because he's less drama. My girls are emotionally draining! O_o



After having my DS (he's my 2nd) I told my gyno that I didn't want anymore babies unless she could gaurantee they'd be boys! I scheduled to be "fixed" & my doc (conveniently) had to leave the countr for a family emergency that week. I re-scheduled for a few weeks later (her next opening) & the day before my surgery, took a positive pregnancy test.... WHILE ON BC!! O_o



Wouldn't ya know it..... At my 20 week ultrasound, I found out it was a girl!!! -_-



I love my youngest DD, but admit I wasn't cut out to be a mom to 2 dramatic-ass girls! Lmao!!!



There should be a booze caled "calgon", so I can mean it when I say: "Calgon take me away!!"



*giggles & runs*

YES YES YES!!!!!

I favor any children that weren't delivered from my own vagina.

Because I can give them back to their mother! O_o

True story.


 LOL

I understand completely!!!!! I don't think your horrible! Your normal! Yes, people tend to get along better with different people at different times. My daughters are completely different but I love them both just as much as the other. Yes I tend to get along better with my youngest daughter, mainly because she's so mellow and laid back. While my oldest daughter is the loud rambunctious, never met a stranger type with an attitude bigger than Texas. It's like I got ripped in half and my girls got 2 different sides of me but intensified! I love them both the same and get along with them both! There are times where I'm in my more mellow mood and a rambunctious attitude drives me crazy! Then there are other times when I'm in my "up an adventurous" mood and a "homebody- don't wanna do nothing attitude" really gets under my skin. I don't like using the word favorite because that's not how it is at all!  My girls are perfect in their own way!!!!! I wouldn't want them to be any other way!!

1 mom liked this

I hate to say yes...but its true. Jackson was our first, and I love that boy to peices! But Coen...he is something truly special to me. I love them both tremendously, but Coen is my favorite.

Side note : Jackson is our golden retriever that we got before my son Coen was born.

No. They each have different qualities that I like but I do not have a favorite.

Honestly no. They both have good and bad qualities. They are equal when it comes to being a favorite!

Which ever one needs to be the favorite at the time
