Favouritism is the unfair favouring of one person or group at the expense of another. This menace is largely responsible for the chaos in many families and is often engineered by parents for different reasons.
This devastates the unfavoured child as he stands to suffer depression and other negative effects thereby leading to strained relationships and resentment. Although the favoured child may bask in its euphoria, he often grows up feeling confident and powerful with an animalistic attitude.
Parents should love and train their children without bias. Abuse is usually not an effective tool. Caution any child who's astray and never give up on him until a change is evident.
Conclusively, parents should procreate the number of kids they can comfortably sustain, as some tend to vent their financial frustration on their kids. It is not how big a house is, but how happy the home is.

Insightful post, OP.

Many parents don't often know they're destroying the future integration and internal goodwill of their hard-built family when they start favoring one kid above another.

Even if you have faves, you're not supposed to do so.

the queer thing is even though some kids show certain affinity and empathy with either parents, often right from early stages, that's no reason to polarize your own family but that's what we do and they create monsters, schemers, callous bastards in the process. And in their old-age, they discover their favoritism has driven wedges between the children who should've being forged into a cohesive and inseparable progressive and high-achieving. Anything short of that, and you've failed as a parent; may God help us all!

Of course, favouritism should not be encouraged amongst siblings by their parents, but some negative attitudes of some children force their parents to unconsciously love some more than others. Take,for eg, between a child that obeys his/her parents, and gives them maximum respect, and one that disrespects the parents,who do you think the parents will love more naturally?

I understand your point of view, but that's not enough reason to segregate. Love conquers all. Thanks for stopping by

What an insightful and thoughtful topic,though quite neglected by most parents in our world or generation today.To be kandid,favouring one against the others may come from numerous points of vital views,but be that as it may it doesn't neglects the fact that is not a favourable nor comfortable nurtion that can build a conducive atmosphere for the upbringing of ones offsprings.Therefore,the equality measures of ensuring siblings are catered,charished and love as under a single umbrella is of course the best medium in giving your children a peaceful and acommodative atmosphere to grow and continue under the same flow.(LOVE).That will help neats them together as one big family with harmony and care for one another..Conclusively,it is not how big and confuse a house is,but how happy and peaceful a home is...and that is found in the principle of family equality measures.......WOw!what a great work you had here...
