"one in 12" "62%" What

Being the Middle kid is so frustrating, especially if your siblings are twats about it.

My parents don't have a favorite child. I'm a only child.

[QUOTE=Glorbo;39725976]"one in 12" "62%" What[/QUOTE] [quote]Of those who admitted having a favourite, 8% said they treated this child differently.[/quote] Could be this, but the titles still confusing. Basically 62% of all parents said they prefer a child, and 8% admitted they treated that child differently.

More like, "1 in 12 parents actually admits to treating a child differently."

My parents disliked everybody equally.

I like my little sister more than my little brothers because shes not bouncing off the walls all the time.

from my experience the older child generally gets treated worse like an old toy.

I am the favorite child :3

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;39726244]from my experience the older child generally gets treated worse like an old toy.[/QUOTE] I can confirm this.

People should learn that people shit on other people, why not start at childhood?

[QUOTE=Craig Willmore;39726244]from my experience the older child generally gets treated worse like an old toy.[/QUOTE] older kids are kind of like a test run or a prototype of sorts. Parents take into accounts of their fuck ups with that kid and use the experience to raise the younger one.

I'm the youngest and I don't feel like a favorite.

I'm an only child and I'm still not convinced I was ever the favourite

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39726321]older kids are kind of like a test run or a prototype of sorts. Parents take into accounts of their fuck ups with that kid and use the experience to raise the younger one.[/QUOTE] My parents always jokingly referred to me as "Mason 2.0" when I was little. It's actually becoming a serious problem with him now.

So 62% say they have a favorite and the other 38% are liars?

I was a mistake

Its pretty hard to not have a favorite child if you are a smart person

Sometimes the oldest son is the favorite, because he was firstborn and a son. Sometimes the youngest daughter is the favorite, being the baby of the family and a girl. If you're a middle kid it's hard to stand out. You need to hope the older ones fuck up so badly your parents promote you from second string, so to speak. Or you need to hope the youngest ones are so unattractive that they have no appeal as the baby of the family, but instead earn the tag "little shits".

My brother is a lazy arse who doesn't do anything and treats my parents like shit, therefore I'm the favourite.

My younger brother was allowed a lot more leeway than I was. Kind of irritating that he would get away with shit I'd be boiled alive for.

My big brother and big sister have done great for them self while i have for most been a disappointment i feel like at least. My parents always tells my how much better my sister did when she went to school.

Got three younger brothers. It's fun getting all the new stuff and then dangling your old stuff above your siblings to see who wants it the most. Used to be with clothes. Now it's with computer parts.

As an only child, I thought I was the favorite until my mom got a pomeranian.

11 out of 12 parents are liars.

I didn't become successful like my sister did early in life. Between synthetic love to prop up my brain damage and my syster, I can't reliably say if I was or not.

I'm the younger child and I am the least favourite because I am so much better than anyone else in the family, at everything, making everyone else jealous.

I'm the middle child but I don't have a dad so I don't know who is the best one. My mom seems to not have a favorite.
