The Best And The Rest 83

This is a sore spot for many parents.  Obviously kids can’t love both parents EXACTLY the same, the same way that parents can’t love all their kids EXACTLY the same.  If we all just learned to acept that simple fact, we’ll save ourselves so much grief and many hours on the therapist’s couch. There’s nothing wrong with it, as long as everyone is given their due.  The love may not be equal, but the treatment should be as close to equal as possible.  I know how it feels to be both the favorite and the least favored.

1. Gabby – If I say goodbye to our 4-yr-old son to go work, he would simply say goodbye and ask for pasalubong. But once he sees my husband even just dressing up, he would really cry so hard. It really hurts when I see the difference.
2. Crocs – My 5-yr-old son loves being with me all day long, playing kulitan and stuff, but come bed time he literally kicks me out of bed and insists that it should only be him and his mom that should use our bed and that I sleep on the floor.
3. Joan – Whenever anyone would tell me that I’m anything like my mom, I would get angry even if my mom is right in front of me. But I would proudly tell anyone that I’m like my dad in so many ways.

5. Gypsy Rose – My 5yo daughter is usualy sweet. But when daddy comes home, she will say – “Only Bubbles and daddy!” In everything- taking a bath, making milk, watchng TV.
