Favoritism is not dirty word by Tee Hun Ching

 

We may seem to favors one child over another but deep down,

We love them equally

-just not in the same ways 

The topic of favoritism is a contentious one. Most people believe it exists. Most parents will flat out deny it. American journalist Jeffrey Khiger wrote in Time Magazine on the title “Why Mom Liked You Best: Science of Favoritism” that favoritism is one of the worst-kept secrets of family life that all parents have a preferred son or daughter. 

Our ties with our kids are complex and nuanced, depending on countless variables from age and gender to chemistry and personality. We love our kids in different ways, but we love them equally much.
