That is the perfect image for this secret.

[(Anonymous)]

I came here to say this.

What do you mean by "warranted", though?

When kids have left the house and lead their own lives, that's one thing. But when parents are still raising their kids, I don't think there's EVER a justification for favoritism.

[(Anonymous)]

i'm imagining some extremes here, but... idk if one of your kids is a murderer and the other one does volunteer work at a homeless shelter every weekend i think it's pretty warranted to like the second kid a little more. i mean sure, love them both, they're your kids... but goddamn. at a certain point i think it's okay to at least LIKE one kid better than the other.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't see why you would even have to love them both. If someone you know ends up being some serial rapist/murderer, you are entirely justified to hate them.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know though.

Liking one kid better I can understand. But I always think of favoritism as treating kids differently (and not just because one is better behaved than the other or something). And when kids are growing up, it can really fuck them up to realize this.

I'm kind of touchy on this subject though. My mother never played favorites but my dad sure as hell did.

I was his favorite.

[kaijinscendre]

Well, if one of your kids ends up being a psychopath it may be a bit warranted to like their non-murdering siblings better.

The Good Son! But now I'm just imagining this is tiny Elijah Wood seeing Macaulay Culkin's future Pizza Underground band, while Culkin's pondering the ramifications of telling Wood about fanfic, Photoshop, and Thanfiction.

I'm fairly certain my son is going to grow up to be a rapist.
He's got his fathers shitty weak genes, lives in the rape culture of the modern era whichshows no signs of improving, and hates his sister, and I keep finding his internet history. He has a disturbing interest in anti-woman smut. I'm doing my best to make him grow up right, and it's not like I think he's a lost cause or anything, a parent can't think like that, but I don't think he's going to be capable of being the rare non-shitty adult male.
TLDR sometimes a mother just knows which child will let them down.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit, mama. You need therapy. "The rare non-shitty adult male"? And you wonder why your kid looks at anti-woman smut?

[(Anonymous)]

Radfemtroll you really gotta vary your post structure if you wanna fool anyone.
Besides the stupid radfem opinions, everyone can tell its you because you don't doublespace paragraphs.
Like this.

Haha I grew up with a favourite, so I get that it's hella hurtful. I even got to overhear that awful "which one would you save?" conversation and that sucked balls for tiny me. But I'm not exactly going to hold it against my dad for being a dumb human who sucks at not being obvious about it.

Shit. Okay, well maybe, yeah I still do, but not as much as I did then. Like I'm saying, no one's impervious to them partial feelings.

[(Anonymous)]

Going in a different direction than the other suggestions in this thread, it would be warranted to pay more attention to a child with significant health problems compared to one who doesn't need the extra help. Ideally that doesn't tip over into neglecting the other child(ren), but sometimes the balance fails.

[(Anonymous)]

What a great photo!

[kallanda_lee]

Thor fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

Don't watch Avatar the last airbender then!

[(Anonymous)]

My first thought as well.

Although the "favorite" had it no better in that case by my estimation.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't get the connection to the pic at first.

Then I looked further down and lol'd.

(poor birdy though)

Because ravens

[elephantinegrace]

Am I the only one who thought of Odin? (Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of the favoritism was in Loki's head, but his resentment did have some basis in reality.)

Re: Because ravens

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not much of a stan for Loki, but watching that movie, damn, Odin treats Thor like sunshine comes out of his ass, and Loki is just a tag along. I don't think all that much is in Loki's head.

Re: Because ravens

[kallanda_lee]

No, you are not.

Re: Because ravens

[cloud_riven]

Nope! The book, 'Jacob Have I Loved', came to mind first though.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope.

It's a lot more explicit in the comics, to be fair. Then again, it's not actually Odin's choice to take Loki in in the comics. And Thor is very Asgardian, and Loki very nearly goes out his way to not be. As much as I love teen!Loki these days, he's not exactly trying very hard to be likeable, either.
