I don't think it is favoritism with loving your children. I have four children and love them all. Sometimes it may look like there are favorites but that is not it. Personalities are different for everyone, so how everyone is treated and what they need is also different. Age plays a part in it as well.
The next time it looks like favoritism look at the age, personality, situation things like that. At my house all children have the same rules, if they are broken then the consequences are based on their age. If they do well on report cards then they are rewarded by their achievement and age. Things can't be the exact same for one as they are for another, different people have different needs.
I don't have a favorite child, my mother didn't either, neither of my grandmothers did. They were not favorites just different.

I try to treat my 3 children the same but i have a favourite though i don't show it. I think it simply because he's the youngest and hes so sweet natured while my older two are a bit cheeky and naughty

Yes,there are favoritism's when we are raising our children.There shouldn't be,but nevertheless they're there.I have 3 children (all grown now) and when they were growing up,my only daughter gave me more trouble than either son.Therefore I think that maybe that may be why the boys were my favorites.
My daughter had 2 boys and her favorite was the youngest.I don't know why.I answered this question strictly from experience and age of wisdom.In my opinion,yes there is always a favorite.

Unfortunately there are some mothers that go overboard with favortisim, me personally i have 3 children and i love them the same but they each have qualities about them to cause a favortism reaction from me.. My oldest, him and i are alot alike.. and since i had him at a young age we've both grown up together, him and i can talk about anything.. so because he's the oldest i tend to favor him as my "go to " person. , my middle son is my angel he was born with a rare disease which caused him to have 2 liver transplants, so i tend to at times favor him because of his cronic illness , and coming close to losing him , My daughter is the only girl, so at times i favor her because she is the only girl.. so i favor all my kids, just depends on the time and situation they all have their own unique personalities, and i treat them differently because of who they are, not what they mean to me, because all 3 of them are everything to me.. they are my Life, My heart, and My soul..

Well some people do.. I don't know why all kids come from you they should all be loved the same, with me I have four kids, one of them is already grown and have his life, and three small ones, I do not have a favorite one, but each one of them have something special, something that is from their own character that makes them special individually, I tell them that.. each of them have a gift and that is what makes them individual but I love all of them the same..

Yes there are my 2 step kid's mum's are guilty of this , because they had to share the kid's with my ex husband and I they spoilt them monetarily (not emotionally mind you) to make us look like the bad parents.
I love all of my children individually so yes we have favourites , I love my 17 year old son for his humour , I love my 15 year old son for his loyalty to his friends , I love my 12 year old son for his love of car's , I love my 9 year old daughter for her love of singing (take's afta her mum) , I love my 6 year old son because he is an angel sent to me to make me laugh when I am sad , to hug me when I want to cry but wont so they dont see me sad , to love me and tell me frequently without me asking him to .
Favouritism comes in many aspects.

Yes and it causes problems, the child who is favoured less will resent the other(s). My brother always seemed to get away with murder, and still does!
