just reading about birth order (i'm a middle child so find it interesting)
and it says that a study of families with three or more children found the youngest and oldest sibling to be the favourite of the family.
for my dad i'm the least favourite i know that for sure
with my mum i'm not too certain, my sister isn't exactly the most likeable person but i think because she's older she has more of a connection with my mum, and would speak to her a lot more than i'd speak to her
BASICALLY i think i'm the least favourite, which doesn't bother me
although sometimes i think i'm the favourite for my mum
I JUST DON'T KNOW
same with the dad thing but it doesn't bother me one bit.
my mum talks and gets on with my brothers, younger and older much better sometimes i think but then there are moments that make me think that im the favorite even if we aren't as close/talk as much!!
i dunno, and its not something ill probably ever find out.

I am the least favourite to my immediate family, but favourite (out of grandchildren) to my grandparents I think ;)

I'm the oldest to my mum, 3rd oldest to my dad and I find my sister gets away with more. When I was younger I wouldn't think of drinking under age, going out for all hours, just things like that and frankly I wasn't even allowed. A week before my 18th birthday I think it was I was told not to drink at my boyfriend's mum's birthday. I didn't drink until I was 18/19, but my sister was allowed to start years earlier. They blame me having a boyfriend saying they don't want me to do something stupid, but I'm mature enough not to whereas my sister isn't. The only thing that's probably different in a good way is my parents know I'm the more mature one, so perhaps that's why they're harder on me, I don't know.

I don't believe my mum has a favourite but I feel sometimes that I'm my dads least favourite.

oh god idk
i was my dad n his families fave for sure (but our cousin from that side was fave for my granny)
tbh i doubt my mum has a favourite but she treats the middle brother the best, he gets money, he gets off with anything, gets sympathy, shes nice to him even when he's horrible but he gives her loads of stress which is then pushed onto me cause he'd explode if she even raised her voice to him. & she knows i understand that and will forgive it. i know hes least fave tho, he is to everyone in the family n i have a huge family.
idc bout being faves to anyone i rly dont think my fam have any and i don't have faves in mine
i probably get bought the most stuff and have the most stuff done for me but i wouldnt say its favourtism

yeah I'm the fav everywhere
my mum and sister hate eachother
my dad and sister hate eachother
my grandparents think my sister is a **** for being a **** to my mum all the time
so does my uncle
then there's me never causing arguments
all innocent
i am my parents least favourite and i am also an only child
i don't think they really favourite us but i know i'm not exactly great or interesting and that most of my family would much rather see somebody else than me
I feel like I'm the least favourite to my Mam 'cause when my siblings walk in the room she's all welcoming and such, but when it's me I'm lucky to get a hello. My Dad's always spoke to me most and stuff though and even my Mam's said a few times that I've always been his favourite lol. I don't think my parents have a favourite though, it's probably just me imagining things :P.

least favourite, my dad doesn't like me and it's obvious and my mum just tolerates me. My nan and granddad prefer my sister as well lol.

Nopeee
there's only 2 of us in my family *as in theres only 2 people in my house, me + mum* but i still think she likes the cats more than she likes me...
i don't know but i wouldn't say i'm the favourite because i feel like i'm treated different to other people in my family
on my mums side it's a possibility that i could be favourite to my nanna but i'd say i'm the least favourite on my dads side
i'd say that they prefer my brother just because he's always been more successful academically than me, and didn't do as many stupid things. but i think i've had more highlights ;)
i think my mum prefers charlotte but im not sure about my dad because idk some reason stuff
my dad has another son though that he has before me and charlotte so idk :L
I wouldn't say my parents really have a favourite.

idk, im the oldest and the others are 13, 6, and 3 so I'm the only one who can really talk to them as an adult.
im the middle n im defo my dads favourite but my mums fave is probs my little bro
I'm the middle child. I don't think I'm my mum's favourite, probably the least. I don't know if my dad has a favourite.
im my mums fav fav. my sister is my dads fav. we're rly close with my gran and im her fav.
the rest of the family my sister is DEF fav. she actually talks, seems interested and is friendly with them whenever we see them at xmas or whenever. whereas im not at all they all just think im quiet and miserable but i dont even care and cant be bothered to make any effort to change that. yolo

i am the baby in the family and with my mum i'm pretty sure i'm the favourite. we get along the best out of the rest and are probably the closest, she likes to tell me i'm her best friend and things like that :P she was never close with my older sister and was quite the rebel and horrible to her a lot, i'm not too sure with my brother but probs not 'cus he used to be a bit of a prat to her and still can be. my dad doesn't give a crap about me so it's unlikely there. out of the rest of the family, i don't think any of them have a favourite really

I think if anything i am the least favourite haha, i think its because i am more honest now then what i used to be. I used to be so quiet whereas now i speak my mind if something has annoyed me i will come out and say it. My parents like to think they are right all the time which is stupid they can't always be right!
Another reason i know i'm least favourite is the fact that i am more independent recently than my brother and sister.

I dunno... I know that my Nana likes me the most because she tells me lmfao. I'm the oldest of three kids. Two sisters.
My Mum is most protective of me and my step-Dad listens to me more then my sisters. And my real Dad pretty much only talks to me, not my step-brother.
I firmly believe that neither of my parents have a favourite, and the same with most of my extended family. I think maybe some of my extended family find it difficult to get on with my brother, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm the favourite.

i am but purely because I'm the only child probably. Don't really get on with my mum that well a lot of the time, but I could possibly have been my dads maybe if i had a brother or sister cause he really gets on with me so idk

Probably my mum's fav just because my sisters are off the rails but my step dad's least favourite, he's a bigot

Far from it. My sister is the most liked by my parents and family
I think so but then again it's hard to tell
In my younger years I would have confidently said I was the favourite 'cause my sister was a big disappointment and a bum
But now I don't know, she's kind of got her **** together and she doesn't fight with my parents as much so I think we're pretty even atm
I wouldn't say the favorite but I'm more well behaved so I am trusted more with things.
To one set of grandparents no.
To the rest as I am an only child then yes.

I was the favourite for 6yrs and 2months until my brother was born haha.
But no I swear he is the "golden child", I tell my parents this all the time and they go along with it because of how ridiculous it sounds.
So I still think he is.
Then when it comes to extended family. I probably was by my grandmother before she got sick. I was the first grandchild so I was spoilt by her, when it came to many things. Then on my dads side I don't think my nan and pop had a favourite they love us all, I'm the 2nd youngest of 10 grandchildren and then there is the 3 great-grand children. They love us pretty equally giving us gifts whenever we go up to visit them :)
