That's a tough one. I only have one child. I suspect, however, that if I had more, that my oldest would still be my favorite. It is hard for me to imagine someone easier for me to get along with. Her mother on the other hand doesn't get along with her at all. I think it is normal to just get along better with some people than others and that your children are no exception to that rule.
On the other hand, I was a favored grandchild, and quite obviously so, I think that was hard on my siblings and cousins. I am extremely grateful for all the love and atttention that I recieved, but I wish they had spread it around as least a little more.
As long as you are aware of the issue it is probably fine.
every love is an individual experience for your heart Sista... there are some that just get a little deeper... this in no way means that what you feel for the other in your life is qualitatively less... I think the trick is to alow these moments of all encompassing & unconditional love to open those places in your heart and mske space for each and every person in your life... sometimes though, this can be made so much easier by feeling that love & understanding reciprocated... this is how we find our favorites.... some how, you and yur middle child connect just a little deeper... just as you and your husband did... nothing to feel guilt about... just something to enjoy and extend outward....
heal up those kids (fevers are a good thng... the show that the immune system is working)... keep writing haiku... stop worrying your heart.... & tell that man to make with the lovin'
I can't imagine loving a baby more than I love Josie. I'm sure when this new one comes it will be a crazy experience.
FINALLY feeling this baby move around. They say its earlier with 2nd + babies but not for me! 21 weeks!
We are pretty much moved in to the new house but still have lots to do here. Soon the stress will be gone...or just replaced with new stress I suppose.
Having only one kid so far I can't say. However I thing starCat summed me up perfectly, I can't imagine loving anyone as much as I love my son but I am sure everyone says that
Better life through sex
there is always room for more
must take care of that
hello. i read your comment on MadamY's journal. i also had a very young mom. she was in her early sixteenth year when she had me.
for reasons i don't want to go into on a public site, i was taken away and lived in foster care/children's homes for a few years as a kid. when i got out, i was sent to live with my father.
i didn't move into my mother's house until i turned fifteen. she just turned 35. i'm nineteen and living on my own now. we occasionally borrow eachother's clothes. it's fun.
I'll email it to you
I was surprised at how yummy it was. All three must be made and presented together....it's the perfect blend
