I don't have a favourite per se, but I do naturally as they have grown older children to whom I'm closer to than others, just because personality comes into play when they reach that interesting stage of having their own very definate opinions:)
I was always closest to my eleven year old daughter and my son whose seventeen, simply because as people we are more similar, but I don't love my other children any less.
I think it is natural to have a child that you perhaps get on better with and miss more when they are not there. Perhaps not your 'favourite' as you will love them all the same.
It is only natural in my opinion. Just because they are your children doesn't mean that you will necessarily get on with all of them in the same way. They will all have different personalities. You just probably have a better raport with your youngest.
perhaps favourite isnt the word you meant. I love my 2 exactly the same but they both need me in different ways so i suppose i am connected to them slightly differently at certain times. This must change often as they grow up
I think a youngest child will always have a special place because of the fact they were the last baby.
No - most definitely not. I love my son & daughter tremendously but very equally.
I can understand that some parents do - but if that is the case, they should never ever let it show or, even worse, voice it to the children concerned.
redcrx, I think you hit the nail on the head with the youngest being "the baby".
He's also the one who is most like me in looks (poor sod) and personality
