discuss Can parents practically love all their children equally?

[Fidelia1]

Imagine a couple that have three to four children. They are supposed to love all of these children equally. That is in theory. But let's come down to practical. Is it possible for parents to love all their children equally? Parents in the house, do you love all your kids equally?

I believe it is very possible for parents to love their children equally. The only time this might not be so is if one of the kids constantly give them headache. In that case they will be more fond of the ones who are more obedient.

There is no way that parents would love their kids equally. Every parent has a favorite child and there is an order of preference. But a smart parent would be very careful not to let it show. We had the best parenting that gave us all equal opportunities but we grew to know that each of dad and mom had favorites.

I strive to love all my children equally but naturally, I have a stronger bond with one of them due to our shared interest and his traits are kind of similar to mine. We are always on the same page. I don't show it though.

I don't think that it is possible to love all your children equally. But the most important thing is that you should never show your preference to a particular child. Many parents always tend to love the child that is closer to them more.

No, they will always have a preference, and I think it is very natural. We are four siblings, and my mother loves my brother most. That's because he is youngest and has spent more time during childhood his with her than other kids. However, my father prefers my sister, their oldest child. This does not mean they don't love me, and they have never mistreated me or given me less just because they have preference.

I believe parents try to love all their children equally, but practical challenges and different personalities can make it feel uneven sometimes. For instance, a disciplined child is preferred over mannerless kid.

Parents often strive to treat all their children fairly and love them equally. This includes providing for their needs, offering support, and showing affection.
