I dont think I was the favorite growing up-- my brother was the "perfect " one-- ridiculously smart, popular, easy going, amazing at everything he did-- whereas I was more stubborn, more introverted, got frustrated more easily, and pickier. But in adulthood I'm definitely the favorite-- my brother tends to hold things in more and let things fester so he has a more tense relationship with my parents, whereas I say what's bothering me immediately and am more open and honest w them

Absolutely not! Everyone in my family is unanimous that my sister was the favorite, she and my parents will argue it vehemently though

Favorite of my dads, still am. My brother is my moms favorite and we joke my sister got the short end;)

I definitely wasn't the favorite when I was growing up. I think my brothers were favored by my mom. In retrospect, I think my dad was harder on the boys in many ways, but he was gone so often for work that my mother was the dominant parent so it seemed to matter more who my mom favored.

But recently, we were talking about this and two of my siblings said now that we're all adults, I'm the favorite. I don't think that's true but I do think my mom and I get along pretty well these days. Anyway, there are 6 of us kids and we are all really different. At this age, I wouldn't say it's discernable (to me) that my mom favors any of us over others. It's pretty even these days.

Growing up, I thought I was. Looking back, I don't think so!

I think my brother was more favoured because my mom identified with him the most.

I feel like my parents did a pretty good job of not showing favoritism. But there was only 2 of us. My extended family has always favored me though. I loved it as a kid but now as an adult I see how hurtful it was to my brother, and even my mom and aunt got booted when I came along. It's a lot of pressure to be that awesome for my grandma all the time and i don't like the way she treats my mom a lot of the time.

My parents did a good job of no favoritism. But there were only two of us. We were the oldest grandchildren though and we were def the favorites of my grandparents! This was bc we lived just up the road from them so we had lots of contact with them. I give props to my parents bc I "feel" like I was the favorite even though I know I wasn't and I think my brother would say the same! Hopefully I can do that with my kids too kinda like your parents @ValentineMommy: We have a DD and I'm about to have DS and I always tell DD she's my best "girl"
