Let’s be real, folks—when it comes to parenting, sometimes a favorite child just emerges, whether we like it or not. It could be that one child who lights up your world every single time, or maybe it shifts from day to day. But we all know that good parents strive to hide their favorites, even if it’s a losing battle.
In our latest confessions, moms from all walks of life are opening up about their own favorites (or at least the ones they like a little more). So, do you have a favorite?
“I definitely have a favorite kid. It’s hard not to—my son is honestly the most compassionate person I know, and parenting him is such a joy!” shared Jenna.
Another mom chimed in, “I’ve been pregnant four times, but only one was planned. Guess who my favorite is? Yup, you got it!”
And let’s not forget the furry friends—“I absolutely have a favorite child, and she has four paws. My 12-year-old Cairn Terrier is officially my favorite!” confessed Sarah.
Sometimes, the favorite might even be a pet. “There’s a running joke in our house that our hamster is my favorite because she’s quiet and stays put. Honestly, I think it might be true!” laughed Lisa.
Now, every parent may insist they don’t play favorites, but let’s face it, some kids are just easier to be around. “I’m not supposed to have a favorite, but my son is quiet, helpful, and sweet, while the others are a bit more… spirited. How can I not favor him?” admitted Michelle.
And hey, kids have their ups and downs—“I love all my kids equally, but I do have a favorite and a least favorite. It often depends on who’s behaving at the moment!” said Rachel.
But what if the favorite is always the baby? “Honestly, my favorite will always be the youngest. Now that I’m done having babies, I worry I’ll end up resenting my older kids!” confessed Tara.
We all can relate to the universal truth: “My favorite child is whichever one is asleep!” joked Jennifer.
