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.

i think on some level it's hard for parents to outright HATE the person they raised from birth. they can strongly dislike, disown, and get away from them if they turn out evil but on some level that parental love will always be there. it can be outweighed and hate can exist at the same time, but SOME connection to the kid they once were isn't going to go away very easily. so yeah, they might love them, and never excuse their actions or approve or try to justify anything (including the deserved hatred that person is getting)

Some parents kill their children. And some kill themselves just to get away from their children.

I don't think that parental love is a requirement just because one finds themself in a state of parenthood.

no i know that. i'm talking parents who love their kids equally but the kids themselves make vastly different choices later in life and THOSE parents will probably still love that evil child even if they end up disliking or even hating the child as well. obviously not all parents are good loving people, it's not some all-encompassing parental trait or anything.

[(Anonymous)]

I think parental love most definitely IS a requirement if you had the opportunity to turn it down and chose not to.

If you could have had an abortion or put the child up for adoption and you didn't, then I absolutely do think loving your child is a requirement to being a decent human being.

Only it's not that easy. You can't choose to just love someone. You can (wrongly) think you will, but then it doesn't happen. Even if you fake it quite diligently,kids can generally pick up on it.

[(Anonymous)]

You can choose to treat someone with love however.

Anyone who chooses to become a parent, in my opinion, is choosing to put the life of someone else before their own.

That's what being a parent means.

If you didn't have a choice in becoming a parent, that's different.

[kallanda_lee]

Yes, of course you can treat someone with love...

I just sort of don't believe that nothing will ever made that façade crack over 18 years and more.

And kids are perceptive - that's what I mean with them picking up on it. Chances are, even if you treat them equally, kids will know who's the favourite (if there is one).

[(Anonymous)]

As adults, I agree somewhat.

But as kids, I do think parents should love them. Because if you kill or rape someone as a kid, that indicates either a complete failure to parent properly or a deep psychological issue that the kid was likely born with.

[(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.
