Thank you for sharing your boyfriend's story.

His little sister is the late born "miracle" girl their mum always wanted, and she does get extra treatment. If she wants for example something that belongs to my boyfriend or to her other brother, she'll get it. If she's late or not in the mood to walk, they drive there to fetch her or take her with the car where she wants to go. Nothing like this is ever going to happen to the two boys, and when they try to explain why they feel things are unfair, their parents just don't understand. They can't be reasoned with on this topic, even though otherwise they are reasonable people. So yeah, it's not good for anybody, as the boys feel second rate and the girl is spoiled.shadowbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913708589591835018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-10430673760573651442014-11-05T14:41:30.079+02:002014-11-05T14:41:30.079+02:00I actually had never thought about a fave child be...I actually had never thought about a fave child before until I heard that comment, because she also gave me some examples from what she had observed in other people's lives. And I have talked to some women whose parents preferred boys and whose brother always got special treatments because of that. That's damaging, I think. <br /><br />Yes, I also agree that I think you love in different ways and I've read that it can happen this way: you prefer one child less than the other during certain period of times (i.e. when the other one is more challenging) he he he...It's only natural, I assume. <br /><br />Oh yeah, I bet as a mother you have plenty of worries about Tommy. I hope there are plenty of guardian angels around him then. I also hope you and Mark can always be close to Tommy. :-)Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-82475998993019462782014-11-05T14:20:45.661+02:002014-11-05T14:20:45.661+02:00Interesting points.
Yes I've heard the fav ch...Interesting points. <br />Yes I've heard the fav child quoted and worried about that! But my mum reassured me by saying it's a ridiculous thing to say and you can't possibly love one child more than the other. I get what you mean about challenging, and I guess you love in different ways and some parents may have a very well behaved child and another one who tests their patience regularly. <br />I only have 1 child but I can't imagine having another one and loving them less? They may be very different children but surely you should love them equally, albeit maybe differently?<br />Re the jealousy, I guess when someone acts out of their usual character you worry more? <br />And can you imagine now not having a mobile to keep in touch? I know I'm going to worry about Tommy when he's old enough to venture in the big wild world by himself, I hope he uses his mobile to keep in touch!
