Favorites

   No matter how old you are or where you are in life, there will always be people choosing favorites. Whether it is food, clothes, or even people. It is part of being an individual to be able to choose something you like better than another. But is there any time where favorites shouldn't be allowed? Most parents would say "Yes", that you can not choose a favorite child. I think that is not necessarily the case. I believe that parent love all their children the same but tend to maybe connect with one better than the others. I also believe that whoever a parent connects with better can change on a day to day basis. As parents we learn how to spread our love equally to all of our children. 

   What about when others favor one of your children more than the others. Spoil one more, ask to take the one places with them, generally treat them better than the others. Easy, don't let the one be around the person who is causing the conflict, right? Well sometimes it is not that easy. The one child could desperately love the person of conflict. The person of conflict could be very closely involved in your life. What are some ways you would deal with this situation? Me? Well I am done.

   I am no longer going to sit and watch this destructive behavior happen. I will not watch my other three children be sad because they are not being chosen. It is not ok to ALWAYS choose one child over the others. It is not ok to buy a Disneyland pass for one child. It is not ok to treat my children like crap and then expect them to love you. You cannot do it anymore. I don't care if you don't like me but you are done with my kids until you learn how to love and treat them fairly. Grow up and try to be a better person because right now, you suck.
