But it's common that mothers like last borns more... Like in Tiv tradition, last Borns are the ones who inherits the mothers property shall....

Anyways, the thing is parents are really funny, my father liked our second born very well.... Do you know why.... Because our second born took the resemblance of our mother... Not because he was well behaved, but because he loves our mother and our second born is just exactly like her...


Really never heard about this....msurgh an'gior

I can understand how you feel bc I have noticed it in some family! last born siblings are always over pampered and these makes them useless to even the aged parents! May God bless every first born 🙏

i only followed the title but really you are advising parents to avoid favouritism. are you sure it is favouritism or did not your father not take you out only at one point? it is the turn of your younger brother. when you think of it, you are going to become jealous

if a parent prefers a particular child it doesn't mean they hate the others. it's just a human preference which happens innocently or for a core reason in every human interaction. Aslong as the parent doesn't hate the other children then there's no crime in having a preference.

However it is a crime for a child to hate his/her siblings just because the other is a favourite. That already disqualifies him/her and shows the reason he probably wasn't the favourite.

As for u op continue to love ur family regardless of these imperfections. Ur younger brother accusing ur mom enjoyed preference from ur dad bt now is insecure when it's the other way around with ur mom. He wants to be the favourite that's why. which is childish.

who is the favourite doesn't determine anything about what u will become. what is more Important is who u really are and what u do.

Sometimes parents, bosses, pastors and people in general have favourites to spite another or cause problems btwn siblings or groups not because the favourite person is special in anyway. Do not let them use u for their games.

It is evil for a parent to prefaere a child to others. You have no idea how much damage it is for a developing mind to cope with such evil of not being like due to no fault of theirs. Even if a parent loves one more than others, he should never show it.

It seems you are a beneficiary of such unfair treatments in a home which is why you justify such an evil thing

it is human, it is only evil if they do not care for or love the others. preference is always there some only hide it better than others.

Also if u hate ur siblings because they are a favourite u are evil.

You'll just know that your siblings are jealous of you even if they pretend to love you.

I found out after secondary school that my parents were giving my elder brother 5k monthly as pocket money as a boarder, while they were giving me N30 only for a whole term! N10 for each month! Hunger wan kill me for school! All begging fell on deaf ears. With N700 monthly my mates were the biggest boys in school, imagine having N5k monthly. They did not apologized when I confronted them, Dad got angry and told me off.

My Mum, the only human being that have arrested me with policemen.


Now I am working and supporting everybody generously, Now I an their best child!

Make money! Forgive them for the sake of Jesus Christ Only!

Ain't it funny the one he liked least was now the one that was there for him till the end.
This is the nature of man. We tend to hate that which might be of future benefit to us yet like that which may not serve us well in future.
My parents had a couple of us both boys and girls but they never showed much favouritism even though myself and my direct elder sis had a special place in my mum's heart being the youngest amongst them.
It is inevitable that parents must have that particular child which is dearest to them but they should not show it.
Even our God had a special spot for Abraham, David, Jacob etc.

The truth is that it didn't start now, it started many many years ago, even during the time of Isaac and Rebecca, we are human beings, parents will always have that one child they love more than the others, even God prefer some people more than others. So my dear just chest am.

While growing up, sometimes my father takes me out with him and during those times he teaches me certain things that a man should know.
Thing is, something happened I can't recall but that thing made him tell me he preferred my younger brother to me (We are 3 boys tho), I even noticed it because he took him out more and bought things for him. I was this kid that's so quite, reserved and always on my own and he never liked that. On the other note, my brother is very agressive have this agbero type of behaviour lol. My dad fell ill and I took care of him both at home and in the hospital to the point of his death I was with him, I didn't take what he said to heart and he never apologized but I did all that because I loved him very much, I saw him as a hero, even the person that he preferred wasn't interested in taking care of him as much as I was.
I totally forgot about this whole thing until this my younger Bro accused my Mom of been bias towards him which is true but as the first and oldest son I always stand for him whenever that happens because I know how it feels.
Please I urge present and future parents to do better with hiding or avoiding this favourite child thing, it's not really ohk.

I guess you met to say bias against…..which is the opposite of bias towards.

Having a favorite child is nothing special. No matter how much you try to hide it, as a parent, there is that one child that you will love more than the other. It only becomes a problem when you start treating the others badly.

But in all, as a parent just make money and spoil your children so that they wont even notice when you do something special for your favorite child

Your hypocrissy stinks.

It is evil to show preferences for some children over other as that affects the development of a young mind. It is natural for any person (young or old) to show resentment against any kind of unfair treatment.

You are only supporting an evil act because you were probably a beneficiary of such unfair treatment. That your parents ran an appathaeid kind of parenting does not mean appathaeid is not evil or should be encouraged.

I have not been anyone's favourite atleast not in my family cos I'm.like a rebel bt I've been favourite to friends and bosses which I never asked for or cared about either. Being a favourite means nothing to me. I prefer to be accepted as normal based on my actions and character. However I do understand the concept of favouritism and I know some people are drawn to such justvlike some people love the idea of a best friend. I don't really keep friends or have a best friends.

I know what it means to feel another gets favoured by a parent and I have been in such position all my life bt it doesn't get to me cos I can be a loner by nature and cos I have seen the different reasons people show favouritism which I explained in my 1st post. However that doesn't make me hate those who get favored more than me. I'm not insecure or hateful. What is urs will be urs.

Do u justifying resentment towards ur siblings or others because they were favored only shows ur real character who h is jealousy and hate which u allow to consume u. Let bad vibes go.

I have also been in positions were I liked o e person more than another. it could be in a relationship or group bt I may not show it like some other person will. It is human to have a favourite bt it is bad to show it I will agree only with that.

same way it is human to be jealous or feel resentment bt it is evil to allow it change and control u yo hate.

Your last sentence is a very important message to the present and future parents.

Please don’t take what he said to heart. It might not even be as deep as you think.

Also , be careful not to become like the elder brother of the prodigal Son, who felt he deserved more love. Is Father was just not loving Him as he expected and or wanted .

Your Father most likely appreciates you, even though he may want to add one or two other features to your personality. That is His own problem, don’t take it personal, and don’t force yourself to be what you are not to thine own self be true, God bless
