Every parent has a favorite. All parents love their children equally but every parent must be honest with themselves and their spouse. There is, in most cases, a child that simply bonds stronger with a parent more than the other because they share common interests, sense of humor, or personality traits. For example, my father and I have very little in common but my sister does. We as kids have our favorite cousins and aunts and uncles. Even favorite grandparents.

[@pompe221]

There's a Stephen King story that says something like, "You love your children equally but there's always one that you LIKE more."

Once my father admitted to me in private I was his favorite. I didn't like that at all. My brother is such a nice lad and an even better sibling. I still cringe thinking of that moment.

[@Demowan]

I think you shouldn't worry about that. When I was a child, it was clear to all in my family that I was my grandmother's favorite. On the other hand, my cousin Sara was supposed to be my grandpa's favorite. We contemplated these notions. But what did they mean really ? They meant having a special connexion, an affinity. Each relationship is a bridge between two individuals. It is not a competition, we are not competing for anyone's affection. Each relationship is an important intimate business, a bubble. It's about two people. We should be happy that such connexions happen between some people, they have their special people, and we have ours. We should not loathe in self-pity, we act the same. We don't love everyone the same, because it doesn't mean anything. I'd go as far as saying that loving everyone the same is the opposite of love.

[@honinakecheta601]

My mom told me that I was her favorite and it confirmed what I already knew tbh

[@davidweihe6052]

Your father admitted to you that you were his favorite. Sorry, but how often do you suppose that he said that your brother, in private? If he had apologized to you for favoring your brother, that might mean something, or dividing time as BC or AC (“Before Children” or “After Children”) as my parents did among their friends and Bridge partners might mean that neither was their favorite, permanently.

She and Edward certainly seem to be the most dutiful of the Queen's children, and Edward is the only one of them who lived up to the ideal in his personal life that the Royal Family tries to portray - with all the rest having messy relationships and divorces. It's unfortunate that the child who ascended to the throne is totally selfish (placed is own wants/needs above the monarchy), unworthy, unremarkable, and underserving, and that the Queen's alleged favorite, Prince Andrew, is totally disgusting.

None of them inherited her sense of solemnity and dignity. None got her detachment.

[@paulwild3676]

@@zacmumblethunder7466 None of those women controlled a nuclear Arsenal. They were powerful in their eras. Indira Ghandi may trump Thatcher because of India’s huge population but I still think Thatcher is the most powerful woman in history because of her influence outside the U.K. She was instrumental in bringing down the Berlin wall and the Warsaw Pact. Her influence with both Reagan and Gorbachev changed the world forever. She saw the potential in Gorbachev as a man the West could do business with. Domestically she was less successful.

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

@paulwild3676 I see your point. But as far as lasting impact goes internationally, and specifically in terms of US/Russian politics, "Forever" turned out to be quite a short time. The efforts of those three leaders have come to nothing. The war in Ukraine is the latest proof of that. We have British and European military leaders advising that we should prepare for war. It's like the early eighties all over again, the same sabre rattling, the same tension. The only difference is that a large proportion of people aren't taking it all as seriously as we did back then. Domestically, "Less successful" is a bit of an understatement.

Inflation and public spending usually have almost nothing to do one with the other. Interest rates don't do shit against inflation. It is incredible we are still suffering that economic orthodoxy, that "voodoo economics"

@@AmericasChoice Nope. I grew up with a mother like this and she's a narcissist. I will never do that to my children. If they ask me, I will jokingly say I hate them all equally. They're all diff with diff personality traits. Some days I like them, some days I don't, but everyday I love them all equally.

@@Solitude1990 Sorry I called you a liar, I didn't mean it in a pejorative sense. I appreciate your experienced input. Ironically, I also never expressed my "favorite" my kids. I don't know why I responded the way I did 3 months ago
