She hasn't done anything all that bad. Our main issue is that I'm Pentecostal.  We don't have that much to talk about and she has her favorites. I have never been one of them.

I can't imagine having a favorite child.  That's heartbreaking.

Oh, I know it does -- I just can't imagine doing it myself. The thought really breaks my heart!

I have never done that with my children. If I bought one something the other got something also. I never bought more gifts or of more value at Christmas than the other. They know that I've been fair.
When I spend money on my daughter, I spend the same on my SIL.
I am fair with all the children at church. There are no favorites and I let them know that they are all important. When my children were involved I never treated them more special. I didn't use them more. We had great success because of that and I see how important, in the church, that is and can be!
I guess it affected me in a great way. I didn't realize that until I typed it here. I respect her because she is older and I don't bring up things to stress her out. It isn't going to change her anyway. Her mother was the same way.

I agree... it does happen. I do understand it better now that I am a mother of kids almost grown. Really I don't think it is favortism as just personalities meshing well.
I love all my kids the same... love them dearly and would die for any of them tomorrow.. they are all my heart beat... but I do have to admit that they have their special points that tug at my heart at different times... personality wise, I have a difficult time with my middle child but know that she is very dependable.. I can always count on her.
The baby knows just how to work me of course and I give into things that someone might think she was a "favorite". Then there is the oldest who is a barrel of fun to be with at any time. She seems to be the one that is always with me and my other daughters with my sisters. No one is a favorite but I can now see how someone might "think" there are favorites.

Foreverblessed,
You are probably right about the personality mesh. My son and I have always had an easier time of it then me and my daughter. We were banging heads this afternoon! After she calmed down, because she knows I'll hang up and I won't call back, she settled down.
