Moo: Anonymous poll about your children

[miso]

Do you have a favorite?

You are, of course, welcome to discuss details if you wish.

But please take the poll. It's anonymous!

[revolution]

It depends on the day.

[spwspw]

I have 2, and which one is my favorite alternates on a day to day, hell sometimes a minute to minute, basis.

But I can honestly say I love them equally.

[ninjabridemom]

It totally depends on the day and where they are in interests/development.

Honestly sometimes I don't have a favorite child b/c they both drive me crazy. That's lately.

I don't worry about it since it alternates so often who is my favorite. They each get fair turns lol.

And the minute. And sometimes, the dog is my favorite.

Oh yeah, this too.

[iamgrace]

No. But I like them differently on different days for different reasons.

[specialk]

Well one of my cats snuggles in bed and the other one hides and pees on the floor. So Cat A. That's the same thing, right?

[tigress]

I don't have one that I favor all the time. It varies who I like more. And it rotates. They all have strengths. And weaknesses. I love them all so much. But sometimes I want to kill them all too. So yes and no and yes?

[jigsy]

I don't have the children, but it was common knowledge among my siblings that I was dad's favorite...who can blame him, I'm awesome

[anonymous]

I really do love them equally but I feel like there is something extra special about #1 just b/c it was all so new and exciting and the anticipation of the unknown. Maybe this means I don't love them equally?

[ninjabridemom]

Oh I will echo the caveat that "favorite" has nothing to do with love. It's more liking and enjoying being around them and thinking about them.

Are you admitting that you have a favorite child, miso? For shame.

Yup! My niece!

JUST KIDDING.

[Deleted]

No.  I love them all in different ways though.  They are all unique people.

[sonrisa]

I have two favorites :-)

I think "You are the most wonderful little person in the world" about each of them. (not every minute of the day, of course)

[lilybug]

Right now, no. They stay pretty even with their annoying/omg adorable balance.

When DS2 was a baby he was my favorite for a while. Such an easy baby, while big brother was a 2 year old terror. But then when DS2 was like 15m-2.5, he cried SO MUCH and never slept, endless tantrums, while 3/4 year old DS1 was delightful and learning so much, I just loved talking to him and playing with him.

[8675309]

I really don't.

For awhile there it was my oldest because my youngest Noah was a runner and sought danger so just a pain in my ass all the time.

Now, they are on even playing field.

[Deleted]

No, but they're entirely different people and I love them in different ways.

Not really, because they're such different ages.

I was thinking about this. 

And also how different the "favorite" dynamic would be in large families v small. Like right now it's easy for me to be okay w liking one a little more at a certain time b/c I know the other one will come around soon enough (like maybe the next minute lol). But if I was trying to mentally think about it for 5 kids or more I think that would be harder.

yeah, well that too. 

[qcinoct]

depends on the age. When one is 3 years old, the other is my favourite. Man, I really do not like 3 year olds

[Deleted]

It really depends on the day/time of day.


LOL.

PREACH

[honeychai]

I voted no, in that, I love them all equally, but my son is definitely easier to get along with than my daughter.

My dd is a spite fire, and she can drain every last bit of energy I have.

My little guy is a lot more mellow.

And the baby, well, time will tell, but I'm thinking she's going to take after her sister. Lawd, help me

This.

[starlily]

Not yet.

[Queen Mamadala]

Yes, whichever one irritates me the least at a given time.

[maryanne]

Yes, I have a favorite. I asked MH to guess which one was my favorite and he guessed wrong, ha

I do feel a little guilty about having a favorite, but I try not to be obvious about it. I yell at them all the same like a good Asian mom. LOL 

[lmbml]

I love them all the same, but DD3 is seriously awesome. She's so funny and sweet and everything she does my H and I freak out over it. We just seriously love her and she's the greatest. My other two are older and they have really good qualities too. But right now I'm obsessed with #3.
