My parents treated our younger brother differently than us, it does not mean they loved us any less, it was because he was their last child. And i love him to bits from the day he was born till this day. And yes im a mother too I love them all, but i have to admit i have a favourite one. Why? Because we are more like friends, She has been there for me when i nearly died 6yrs ago, washing me, putting me to bed learning me to read and write again. she put me back on the road again. Then another blow last Oct I got breast cancer, but i am back on form laughing and being myself. My daughter was there again for me, giving me all her support and help, while her sister hadnt got the time of day for me, because she was wrapped up in her own little selfish world. I still love the selfish one, even though she is not speaking to me. But that is life

Each child has a different personality. The parents are responding to the personalities alot of the time. maybe one child is older and gets to do more things because of the age. Maybe the youngest child gets more because the parents have more money now than they did when the other childen were younger. If and when parents treat the children differently, it's not because they love one more than the other, unless the parents are having problems of their own, not stable. If you are feeling this way yourself, talk to you mom and dad and let them know how you feel. It's best to get it out in the open so that you will have a better relationship with your family as a whole.

My mother has always treated my eldest brother differently because he's her favourite. And I always got treated the worst as I'm the black sheep of the family, let's put it that way.
It all has to do whether the child was planned or not and whether they are the favourite or not. I've never found a parent treating their kids equally, never ever. One always seems more privileged than the other.

Every child is an individual, and therefor must be treated as such. I have a 14 year old daughter,(top 5% in her school) and twin 8 year old boys who would put Tony Montana to shame.
At the end of the day, I love them all equally FOR being different. I have to change tactics quicker than a hornet changes direction and it keeps me on my toes.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Because they children are different.....but parents should work very hard to make sure they treat each child with the same love and respect.

Me and my brother was always treated differently. He was always the favourite and had more money spent on him and even my grandparents noticed this. I am the first born and sometimes wonder if I was a boy then would things be different. I have often mentioned it to my mum in the past and she always denies it and says that we are and always have been treated the same YEAH RIGHT!!!

Having been treated differently from the rest of my sisters and brothers,when I got married I decided not to do the same mistake that's why I had one child of my own only.

You are generalising...I am a twin and we were both treated the same, dressed the same...I had two daughters and tried to treat them both the same...but children are individuals, would you treat two of your friends exactly the same, NO.
Some children need more attention, more encouragement, the trick is to try and not make one or the other jealous...there will come a time when you realise this..so save this question and look back on it in a few years time...

I am the eldest in my family and I was brought up by my grandmother and therefore I am different compare to my younger sister and brother. Whatever they ask for they got it.
My mother never spoiled one of us.My father is the one one who had favourites which was not me.My parents split up when I was 12yrs and I had to grow up fast, My parents love me , as I have more respect for them than the 2younger ones, I have 2 kids of my own & I try my best not to follow in the same footsteps as my father as it does affect me up until today.
I know I am a better person today because of my morals and lifestyle.
