I will boldly say yes because I have 2 boys and a girl but I will tell you honestly before God on heaven I can not tell you whom among them I love most because they all impress me n made me proud. I just don't know who to chose amongst the the 3. I really love them

I have a girl and a boy. It seems I love my daughter (first born) more but I know my son is my heir (Arole) so I try to shower them love equally. Their mother must have observe it.

I think you shouldn't make a difference between your kids. That is the job of the society. They are both your heirs. If she becomes successful tomorrow, your name will come first before her husband's. Although she is not your 'arole', they cannot sing her praise in traditional functions withut mentioning you and your family compound.

You shouldn't be too sad about it. That happens often with in some families. I think it also because your sister is more social than you are.

Hope you don't let her know you have no plans for her future? My advice, think of investing for both kids, and stop this Arole thing o.

You can love all your children equally , why would you even love one more than the other ?. For some people it may seem the parents love one more than the other but it doesn't necessarily mean so , I'll give the example of twin girls living next door to me some years back , the older of the twin ( Taye ) is a very expressive girl always jovial , happy to meet anyone and is ready to play with even strangers , this makes her amiable and seemingly more loved by her parents while the younger ( Kehinde ) is more reserved and prefers to stay alone. Most times you'd need to prod her to get her to socialize in a gathering while the twin sister only needs to see just one person and she's already on hyper drive. I noticed this and implored the parents to focus more on the younger sister so that she doesn't feel unloved seeing that Taye gets all the attention ( this doesn't mean they love Taye less ). My advice paid off and today Kehinde is as jovial as her sister and they both feel equally loved.

Forget man! You can't love two things equally unless you are deceiving yourself. It is not about being partial; it is a law of nature. Even if you don't want to, the personalities, likeness, resemblance, bravery, confidence, physical appearance of your children, which can never be the same would influence it.

The ability to suppress the feeling of showing the likeness of a child than the other is what distinguishes each parents.

Is it possible for all the children in a family to please their parents?
Re: Is It Possible To Love All Your Children Equally? by 123taiye: 4:08pm On Sep 03, 2015
You can love all your children equally, but differently. If you have three children A,B and C. If A needs a wave to smile, B needs a hug and C needs to be tickled. If you make all three smile by doing the different things that would make each of them smile, you have loved them equally but the love was expressed differently.

Equal love does not imply equal action, it only tries to ensure equal impact.

It depends on the circumstances surrounding the birth of the child. Secondly a child's behaviour towards his or her parents will make them like him or her more than others.

I love my children very equally. The amount of love for each may switch depending on situations and behavior at any given time.

Nothing is difficult in it. Just deal with issues in very rational and objective way and you'll realize it's very possible to love them equally.

It also depend on their age and number of children you have. I doubt if you can say above if you have four or five children.

Even though am yet to have a kid, bt when I was still young I love carrying male child n I knw I will love my male child than female....I don't knw how to change that perspective.

You better change it or not show it. A girl that wasn't shown love by her dad will end up searching the wrong places for it.

Yes it is true my dad almost ruined our family because of this, we are seven children, my dad love and cherished elderest(sister)... He doesn't listen to us and mother without consulting my elder sister(what kind of father is that, that's madness) and his judgment perished.. It become worst when my sister had accident in 2004 and forwarding, i,my siblings and mother stopped performing duties as a sons and mother to him, thats when it struck him there is other gather than one offspring.. I can truthfully tell you we hate my elder sister for trying stole my dad especially from mom..


Even in the bible out of twelve sons and other children and grandchildren jacob loves joseph more than them(because of rechael) and out of twelve tribes of israel God loved choosed tribe of judah over others (for his brave standing up to his brothers, telling their father truth about joseph and also he was strongest of all,intelligent and hunter> lionheart)

Loving them equally and treating them equally are two different things. the former is extremely rare! and it's not that the parents don't wanna admit it, it's just that many don't know. the latter is what many use to justify that they love the kids equally.

I wouldn't want to say much on my experience as a growing up kid, but I can tell that it is very very bad for a parent to love a child more than the other. U may say they can't love them equally because they are not demi gods but the contempt it breeds is not good at all. Thank god my mom learnt her lesson.

Some parents do it mostly for children that look very much like them. Many parents that i know love one child or the other but not about making it or not making it. I child is loved from infancy, and no child mkes it from the womb. Only 419 parents do that.
