>That said, here's my answer to my children. I love my oldest in a special way because he was my first and we experienced all the newness together. I love my second in her special way because she is my only daughter. And I love my youngest in his own special way because he is the youngest, and my last. It seems to go over well with all three of him and I believe it to be true.
that is a great way to explain it.
>My mother, at times, has loved me more than my siblings and it's a terrible burden to carry. I would try my best not to do that to my children. But yes, I do believe parents can love one child more and often don't hide it well. It's very unfair.
that is interesting about it being a burden, I can see that actually.
I have experienced the unequal love distribution and I have seen others that I know show favoritism with thier kids. It is too bad, b/c it has such a huge impact on them. I hope I am able to control that when I have kids.Thanks
