what would you do if your mom has favoritism??

I'm assuming that you mean your mom plays favorites with one of your siblings. Even when parents love all of their kids, they don't always view them all the same, and they don't always treat each one exactly the same. It's usually not personal--that is--it's usually not on purpose.
You can't control your mom and make her treat her children equally--sometimes that isn't even possible because different behaviors demand different responses. What you can do is talk to your mom and tell her how you feel. If you are respectful and not accusing, it will be easier for her to hear you and think about what you are saying.
After you have talked to her about this, just let it go. Focus on the things you like about your mom and all the things she does well, and forgive her for her failings the best you can. It is what you would want from her.

Try being more like her favorite. At times I've been accused by my children of showing favoritism. But I gave them advice or gave them a chore to do and I was ignored. Now if I reward the child that listened to the advice or did what I asked them to do, is that favoritism or is it rewarding the child that did as you asked. I don't doubt that many parents have favorites and in many cases this could be a wrong thing to do. Many times though it's an illusion on the part of the child. Ask youself how you're treating your Mom. Do you show her the proper amount of respect? Do you argue with everything she says? Do you do ask you're asked to do?

Hmmmmm....can you give an example of that favoritism? We could help you better if you give more specific details of that favoritism.
