Do you have a favourite child?

My partner said that our first child is his favourite last night (no children were around), but I think it’s because he isn’t a big fan of the baby stage.

I have one this is his second. I believe his first will be his favorite. He’s already shown he’s very jaded towards this pregnancy maybe even me. Obviously my baby is my favorite. She may be my one and only. And even if we have a second. I’ve already been in the mindset this will be my one and only.

Whoever has annoyed me the least that day

Absolutely not. I hate when parents have favourites.

They're both my favorites for very different reasons. My toddler is fun to take on adventures. I love talking to him and experiencing the world with him. He's smart, social, and funny. My baby is a bit of a mischievous stinker but he's super funny. He's also really good for a snuggle and an amazing sleeper. They're both great and both have equal amounts of struggles.

@SquishyMommy1 I absolutely LOVE this answer lmaoo because thats so true!! Thats how I am with my 3 god kids 🤣🤣🤣

@SquishyMommy1 this answer 🤣 same! I think my husband picks his favorite depending on who he can do the most with. Babies can be kind of boring and really how much does a guy get to do especially when baby is breastfed🤷‍♀️

Never have a favourite i think that's so wrong. I love both my boys the same on good days and on bad days, it never changes

@Sam I love both my kids the same too but I can definitely like them in different amounts on different days

@Em that's ok but to say you have a clear favourite child

I could never have a favorite they both in different age stages and different personalities so definitely i agree whoever annoyed me more today😂 my husband loves my little boy because hes a toddler and loves to play and rough play as well my 3 month old is gentle and fragile and always cries when she doeesnt get her way 😂

How old are they? When my second I was born, it took some time for me to like her as much as my first tbh. Because she was new and I didn’t know her! And I had already had 2 years with my first ! But now she is 10 months old and I love them both so much! I think it can be normal to not immediately bond with a baby

Right now, my toddler is driving me insane but she's at that stage of pushing boundaries and thinks it's funny. She's always shown such good understanding so I know she its just a stage. But she is also struggling with her emotions. My second is almost 11 weeks old. We are starting to get smiles but as they are at different stages in development they both are so different. My partner says his favourite is our first but he's also struggling to bond with our baby. We tried for 13 years for our eldest so when our second came along it was a huge shock. We never planned a second and certainly not with a 14-month gap. I think a lot of it is because he can play with our toddler, they run around screaming and laughing together. Baby just sleeps, eats, poops and cries with the odd smile. X

They’re both wonderful and annoying in their own way. My youngest is super independent and very happy baby, she loves bouncing when being held. Sometimes we just look and laugh at each other, no reason. My eldest is super cuddly and loving. Emotionally we’re quite similar. He loves dancing and music. He has a sweet nature! On the flip my youngest screams to the top of her lungs when she wants something and revolts if I dress her. My eldest can be really clingy that he cries if I “leave” him and is now throwing books off shelves and pulling blinds 🥴. I love them equally but they’re individuals with their own quirks

lol I always knew parents have a favorite. I jus don’t think most parents want to be honest. My mother In law told us that my Husband was her favorite out of his 2boys, he is also her oldest bt she said it was cuz he was “easier” to raise & they had a lot more hobbies & activities they liked together so tit made easier to have a connection with him compared to her other son. I only have one child so of course he is my favorite child lol bt from my observation I think parents tend to have their 1st or last born as their favorite child, most of the time the middle borns don’t stand a chance lol so I think birth order does play a role in how we see our kids

No I don’t have a favorite. I love all my kids equally. 💕
