Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
Ok is it true that when the kid is young and VERY well behaved, the harder they are to deall wiht as they get older? 
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
the worst is when their favourites are the sons....no matter how stupid/dumb/bad/idiotic the boy is and no matter how good the girl is...they will always like the son more ....I hate this mentality.
its usually the moms who love the sons more....fathers usually tend to treat both girls and boys equally....maybe cuz men think more logically than women anyway.
I will always treat my kids equally insha-allah

Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
Sheen, that kid is too cute for words!
Yeh they do. I think what hurts the most is when they don't make a secret of it and openly confess to liking one kid better than the other, as though it's something to be proud of. No matter how old we get, that still hurts.
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
I think it depends a lot on the kid too. I am always around for my dad, I do things with him that my brothers dont, I talk to him and most of the time I am honest, I am obidient, I am there for him when he needs me, I fix thigns for him, and for every lil things he can sort of depend on me more than my brothers.
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
Not true. From what I’ve seen in my siblings, myself, and my own kids, the personality they are born with generally continues as they get older. My son was a little firecracker from the minute he was born and he still is. My daughter was so easygoing as an infant, and as she’s getting older, she’s the same way. My sister was a fussy, hard to please child, and now as an adult, she’s the same way. Me, I was quiet, shy and obedient as a child, and to an extent, I’m still the same way.
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
happens to everybody - that is for us children to view and reassess our selves.
parents love all ther children.
if one is better than the other. it is not a bad thing.
individual differences are there.
maybe parents are differential because one of the siblings is more sensitive.
just do not do anything bad, esp. being the eldest.
win over parents' trust by working ur way through their hearts.
u will be fine. u are fine :>
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
to go a little off topic.... everyone, or most people say that sons are more laadla or parents favor the son more b/c the sons are the ones who will take care of them. But the fact of the matter is that in old age... its the daughters who will take care of the parents. A son will pick his wife over his mom in a heartbeat....but its the daughter who will genuinly care for her parents.
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?

Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
I'm weakness of my father, he is proud of me. I was excellent in academics and am obedient daughter as well.
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
I have two girls 7 and 5, and I love both the same, I have no hangover of boys better than girls or vice versa. We are not even planning for a boy. Two is great for us, our family is complete.
Coming to the topic both are my laadlis, cannot differentiate at this age, later maybe who knows if one turns out to be rebelious it might be different. Both are different in nature and habits but there is no advantage for one over another. I spoil both of them equally much to my wife's chagrin.
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
Ive got one daughter whos 2 and half. Sometimes hubby dont want to have any more cos he cant imagine how he could give them equal attention and hes a firm believer that if u have a child, u should give them all ur attention and focus. She doesnt have to compete with any siblings. I think even if parents dont intentionally mean to favour 1 over the other, unfortunetly other members of the family tend to do so. Especially if its a "precious" son, they r always prefered. Its a very sad and sick reality.
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
my mums always runnig after my brother the only boy in the house, shes always like ‘do you want this’ can i make you that’ im like mum he knows where the food is if he wants it he’ll get it . . .. . but shes like no she always comes out with the classic… ‘when you have kids then you will know’:halo:
Re: Do parents secretly have a favorite son or daughter?
i'm quite independent...i've been working since the age of 15 and i have my own house (although i live with my parents) i think because of this they give a lot more attention to my brother and sister rather than me as they think i don't need it. In everday life i am always expected to compromise as i am the more 'mature' one, the more 'settled' one.
Also, when it comes to birthdays/eid i don't get anything because they think i can afford it... but my bro and sis are lavished with presents and treats etc...
i think i have the middle child syndrome where they love my brother as he is the only son and the eldest and they love my sister as she is the baby of the family....and me...well i'm just there......but they are right i can handle it!!
