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.
