Why is either the first child or the last born the favourite of the parent? Usually, I think there is this special connection between first child and their parent because the child is their first output and they can't but be connected to him or her in the time been since their is no other child at the moment. Then the last child is usually a favourite cus there is none coming after the last child...he or she is the full stop of child birth andeverything is showered on this child which we all call "overpamper" usually...
