I knew three sisters, and all three believed they were the favorite.
I think growing up I always felt that my brother was favored, or at least cut way more slack. But as adults, if my parents were to have a favorite, it would probably be me. 
Who's the favorite (or black sheep) in your family?

My mom favors my brother and my dad favors me so it works out for everyone. I will say though that my mother is way more blatant about favoring my brother. He literally can do no wrong in her eyes. Everyone calls her out on it : ) But it's not like it bothers me... I know she loves us both the same, she just baby's her little boy (who is 30!)

I think my parents favor my oldest sister; they talk on a daily basis, and they're always driving to my sister's house to spend a few days with her and my nephew.
My husband is so the golden child of his family. Besides being the youngest and the only boy, he's my FIL's only biological child (my SILs are his half-sisters) so he's been spoiled his whole life!

@Honeybee: My husband is the golden child too!! His entire extended family worships him. We are the only ones who have ever moved away from home and I swear when we go to visit you would think the King came to town. If we go home and don't see every single family member we hear about it for months!

I'm my dad's and my brother is my mom's. Total daddy's little girl and momma's boy!
@Honeybee: @MamaMoose: my hubby is the same way!! Everyone always comments on how freaking cute he was as a baby and was by far the best looking one out of all the kiddos that generation. It gets to his head and he thinks he's the king also sometimes. Sad. LOL!

I always felt like my brother was the preferred one in our family. He was the "golden child" who could do no wrong. He has recently moved across the country with my parents' first grandchild and his wife. Now that I'm having my parents' first grand daughter, I think I'm getting more points. Especially since I'm not moving away and they're about 2 1/2 hrs from us.

There were times when my older sister was favored, then me and now my brother. I think my brother puts up with my parents' crap or maybe it's because of his personality. He doesn't stress out or seem bothered by anything.

My older brother was definitely the golden child-- first born son, smart, prestigious private high school, ivy league college. But my dad and I always say that I'm the "good" child-- I never moved away from them (my brother moved for college and never came back) and always obeyed what they told me to do. I was also cheaper because I went to public high school while my brother went to a pricey private one. Haha.

I am #4 of 5 girls, and my parents each favor a different daughter. My mom favors my oldest sister for some unknown reason. Maybe because she is her first? She can get away with anything, and my mom will always tolerate her. I can do the same exact thing and get into major trouble.
My dad favors me. I'm pretty sure my sisters hate it, but I bond with my dad in a way that my sisters never tried to.
As a couple, my parents favor my husband and me. They are proud that I married Asian and gave them their first grandson (the son they always tried for in their eyes). Very wrong of them not to accept my other sisters and their husbands but not much I can do.

I always felt like my sister was the favorite. I'm the oldest, so my parents were really strict with me but they were more lenient with her. My parents said I was "boy crazy" in high school (as in, I started dating DH then...no one else), while my sister was focused on her friends and her school work. She graduated as valedictorian of her high school class and went on to a more prestigious college. I went to a local university, graduated a year early, and got married haha

I don't know if I'm the favorite, but I've definitely been handed everything on a silver platter that my older siblings had to fight for. As a result my siblings would probably say that I'm the favorite, but I don't think that's necessarily true. I think if all four of us asked my parents for something and they could only give it to one, it would probably go to my brother who is the oldest and the only boy.

My parents claim not to have favorites, but I think they probably favor me (because I finished college, got a good job, bought a house, etc, and my older brother only JUST moved out of my parents basement).
I think Hubs' parents would've favored him growing up because he's so easy going and his sister is a wreck, BUT she's given them grandchildren and Hubs hasn't yet, so she's probably the favorite now, haha.

I think that my little brother is definitely the favorite in my family. He's 10 years younger than me and after 3 girls has been a pleasant change for my parents I'm the favorite grandchild though!
My husband is definitely the favorite in his family. He's everyone's favorite….parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins…everyone likes him best!

Me actually! hahaha
I have two MUCH older brothers and it's no secret that my parents really wanted a girl hence our huge age gap. And I'm pretty spoiled by my brothers too. They're very atypical strict asian brothers but they also spoil me.

@highwire: ditto!
although that is not really true since i have previously started a thread that my mom is never on my side. so i would say that DH is her favorite. LOL. i am my dad's favorite, though.

Right now I'm the favorite because I gave them a grandchild.

I know that my parents love us all the same, but I really do think they LIKE me best. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm pregnant because my all of my siblings already have kids!

This is hard, my dad doesn't play favorites, I would say I'm my mom's favorite now that we are adults. I was the black sheep as kids, definetely the wild child, but my mom and I are super close right now.
