I read a blog entry of this lady who was under fire because she said she loves one of her kid more than the other...

Her defense was that, when she was pregnant with her older kid, a girl, it was a much harder pregnancy, morning sickness etc. with the second pregnancy, everything was smooth sailing and she gave birth to a boy. even when they were infants the mother said the girl was harder to take care of, crying, colicky etc. her baby boy was easier to take care of.

any guesses which on is her favourite?

personally, i think they're babies then, they just don't know any better. and now, when the girl has grown up a bit, and she knows her mom favours her brother, the girl acts out a bit (i mean, come on, wouldn't you if you're in that situation?) so really, if the girl is still being difficult now, whose fault is it then?

but that's not the point of this discussion huh?

anyways, my personal experience, i have 2 kids (so far) and between the two, my younger kid, my son is the one who 'pandai ambik hati'.. the older one, a girl, 7, is a bit more stubborn (like me, actually, ho hum) and not so good with the ambik hati part (she's more logical to a certain extent, like okay, did wrong, say sorry, won't do again, so there, why need to be nice now?) but she's helpful and she gives in to her baby brother most of the time..

any guesses which one is my favourite?

eh, but then, i'd still rather sacrifice my life for any of them, good or bad, favourite or not.. i love the them both to bits, just a bit differently between the two..

by the way, i am the youngest in my family and i resent the automatic assumption that we get pampered the most i was actually, and still am, but that's besides the point! so there.
