Re: Playing favorites
Trust me it doesn't matter, as long as the parents are impartial. That's all that counts. I am sure there will be plenty of other relatives who will not follow the same pattern as your mother. The kids will grow up healthily fighting over who likes whom best. But if all other relatives are playing favorites in the same pattern as your mom (sometimes happens, if one of the kids is a little different), then that is cause for alarm.
