Favoritism

By Damnlife123 - 21/04/2009 02:39 - United States

Today, I was playing and laughing with my new baby boy. He was giggling, and it was adorable. Out of nowhere, I said, "You're my favorite!" Now I'm sitting here, talking to my two other children about how what I said earlier I didn't mean personally. They never want to talk to me again. FML

Hahaha You should, as a parent, know that you're never allowed to say that sentence, dear

Today, I was hanging out with my mother, older brother, and my newborn baby brother. I had been feeling upset and depressed about the new baby because I felt I would be overshadowed by him and I would get no attention. My mother assured me this would not happen and I accepted it. Then she told my baby brother that he was "her favorite." My depression just increased two-fold. FML.

Newborns dont giggle. a newborn as a baby which is less than a week old. they cry, sleep, eat and poop. smiling or giggling is not in thier repatoire.

you were an only child, because if you had siblings you would have never even thought of saying that. YDI.

YOu have to add individual adjectives. "Baby bunting is my favorite giggler" "Lucy is my favorite ballerina" "Johnny is my favorite baseball player!" Then it's positive. I tell my 5 month old son he's my favorite all the time. But he's an only child right now. I better stop that before he starts to understand what that mean.

Don't sweat it. It's natural to have a favorite. You have a favorite in everything. Choice of ice cream. Sports team. Even clothes. It's only natural that you would have a favorite kid. My older brother was the favorite, but I still turned out just fine. As long as you stress that they work together amongst each other, parental influence really doesn't make a huge difference.

Great, now you have to treat the baby like shit because every nice thing you do for him is going to reinforce your other kid's thoughts that he's your favorite. Way to go.

It's one thing if you had said, "You're my favorite littlest baby boy," or something that could only apply to him at that point. And then if you had followed it with, "You're my most favorite *insert some descriptive words about the middle child*" And then, of course for the oldest, "And you, sweetheart, are my favorite firstborn!" It might have been one thing if you had had the sense to do it right, so to speak, but just saying, "You're my favorite." Seriously?! Shame on you. When they're young, they can't be expected to like that or accept it as a joke!! Not when there are no qualifiers immediately following that statement. They'll get over it, but I wouldn't make that mistake again and you would do well to avoid that word for at least a month. I wouldn't even say, "My favorite color is #4682b4," if I were you. Psst, yes, that is my favorite color. :-p

And the moral of the story is, never have children.
