Responding to an anonymous survey 62% of British parents said they preferred one child more than another, with older siblings and children they felt they could do more things with coming out on top.

If there's something I hate about these "surveys," they make it sound like the small group they survey applies to the rest of the population.
Least favorite child according to Dad
Favorite child according to mum (As well as being her only child :v:)
But yes, I think it is a bit more than 1 in 12 as I see this quite a bit.
Pretty sure I'm the favorite here.
It's annoying - my sister is the one who, while having to essentially raise me and herself, managed to keep all of her grades at As, hold a job, get herself into college (without scholarships - they got fucked over some transfer problem) and into nursing school.
They never supported her or really fawned over her after I was born (as far as I can tell), mostly just me, which is bullshit because I'm an irresponsible antisocial fuck who probably won't go much of anywhere

[QUOTE=Iago;39726070]My parents don't have a favorite child.
I'm a only child.[/QUOTE]
In that case you are their favourite child
I almost died as a baby, so I guess I'm the favorite.
The only child my parents don't like is my oldest sister.
Cause she's a massive cunt.
Well I guess I am the child
because I'm the only one lol
My mum has crazy mood swings because of her medication so I'll never know who is favourite. Last night she said she wasn't loved and it hurt me.

We should team up. Our team name could be "the unwantables"[/QUOTE]
I was supposed to be a girl, then I grew a penis. And yes, I was probably 99.9% a mistake.
My mum always favorited my brother, and I was abused for years >_<
I'm the favorite child and dammit I deserve it. My little sister is so incredibly awful.
My much older brother turned into a lazy mooching slob who never showers and constantly stinks like shit and never cleans up after himself. Gives up the easiest jobs. Wrecked our old house just by living in it.
Pretty sure I'm the favorite, my mom's even told me "Well, you're definitely a second chance after THAT failure. I'm sure I'm doing much better this time." :v:
my best friend is my parents favorite child, they had me and said "we better not do that again"
The poll is not scientific..
[U][B]How is this news?[/B][/U]
My sister got pregnant at 18 and my brother's a lazy tard. Guess I win.
I feel lucky in my case of being the youngest of 3 sons, we're all treated equally.
If my parents have a favorite, they hide it well.
I was the accident in the family, but I'm also definitely the favourite. My little brother is great but I have more of the traits a parent wants, like the Daniel day Lewis of children. It makes sense though, as an accident I pulled our family together, I mean I pretty much forced my parents to get married.
i hate being the favorite
i can tell i'm undisciplined

for example: on facepunch instead of doing homework
My sister was the favorite, but we're twins so I figure it's split 50/50.

That has worked the exact opposite for me and my sister. I was first and I've got the entire world at my fingertips while my sister endures no significant punishment for anything and frankly is an embarrassment to everything I've achieved as she is lazy as hell, does nothing more than watch anime and stealing food from the cabinets. (Not to say that people like that are failures, but seeing it first hand and being my own sibling it's embarrassing to see her already stray so far from my footsteps.)
I'm the favorite of course, I'm significantly more self-sufficient, requiring less maintenance, unlike her, who can barely handle the toaster oven. The house would probably fall apart without me. Of course it might be the age difference and influence of the world. I'm 17, I pretty much sat in my room and built with Legos, not really playing with friends and dodged the social media revolution/youtube and such. My sister was born into it though, she doesn't really know anything else other than internet, she's also falling prey to social issues, issues that I take no significance in whatsoever, and therefore aren't affecting me.

Being on Facepunch in general.
I got an older brother who can be abusive to my mom or me, he steals various stuff from me, and trys to get me to buy him games ever day or so even though I don't have a job but he does. I also have a younger sister that asks for money (or steals it) and never pays anyone back, she stabs people in the back by befriending them then turning everyone on them, and last, she really trys to make it seem like she has a really hard life. No idea who my parents would even favor since both of my silblings have mood swings every other day.
Yay family problems!
I have a favorite pet. Between my Ball python and Corn Snake, the Corn Snake is my favorite since he eats well, sheds well, and generally is just awesome. My Ball python on the other hand, well he is just a combination of stubbornness and retardation.
My parents straight up told me they liked my sister better.

When I was a baby I managed to to ram through a safety gate with a little scooter thing
It was the gate over the basement stairs
Safety

Ha, mine didn't, we all got a healthy dose of jesus crammed down our throats and one awkward 5 minute talk about sex, which resulted in "here, read this book that explains how sex outside of marriage is a sin and the devil's work".
Sum of my childhood.
I'm pretty sure I'm the favourite seeing how I can get a away with shit that my sister usually doesn't when she was my age.
Well according to my parents and sister that is,since theres like a 10 year gap between the age of my sister and me.
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;39726619]I was a mistake[/QUOTE]
There are no mistakes, only nine-month wonders.
Solution: beat the crap out of everyone until they are accepptable
So glad my parents love us equally. Its disgusting to think people have favorites of their own children and loved ones.
