You will often hear parents say that they love all their children equally but a new study suggests that's a bunch of baloney. In fact, many parents secretly favor their youngest kid over the rest.

In fact, many parents secretly favor their youngest kid over the rest. The insight comes courtesy of Mumsnet, a parenting website, which contacted 1,185 parents to find if they had a favorite child and if so, which was their favorite. The survey revealed while most parents would not admit to favoring one kid over the others, those that did overwhelmingly said that they preferred their youngest child. According to iNews, only 23 percent of the parents surveyed said that they had a child who they would consider their favorite. And of the parents who admitted to having a favorite, 56 percent named their youngest child as their top choice. For most parents, the choice seemed to come down to convenience, as nearly half of parents who chose a favorite kid said they made the choice because that kid was less of a handful than their more “tricky and demanding” siblings. But while parents may favor their youngest, a similar survey, conducted by Mumsnet’s grandparent-centric affiliate Gransnet, found that grandparents tend to prefer their oldest grandchildren over the others. After crunching the responses from 1,111 grandparents the survey revealed 42 percent of grandparents admitted to having a favorite grandchild and 39 percent of those that admitted to having a favorite said it was their oldest grandchild. It might seem like parents admitting they have favorite kids could cause irreparable damage to a family but Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts told the Mirror that it can be a healthy topic to discuss if done properly. “Favoritism is one of the last taboos and can provoke a lot of guilt, so it’s important to say that feeling a greater affinity for a particular child is fairly common, and doesn’t have to be disastrous,” Roberts explained.

Obviously, parents love all of their children equally. But still, there’s some good news if you felt like a put-upon eldest child. It was believed that the youngest child was the favourite child and sometimes we can’t argue with that. But listen up if you’re the eldest child… A recent study has found that it’s not the youngest child that’s liked the most. It’s actually the eldest! While eldest children around the world have had to be the example for their younger siblings and parents being extra strict on them, it looks like there was a good reason. A study has revealed – a real scientific one – that the eldest sibling is favoured by their parents. The study asked pairs of teenage siblings no more than four years apart in age how they felt their parents treated them. While parents admitted to having a favourite child, 74 percent of mums and 70 percent of dads confessed to have a preference, they didn’t reveal which child. However, when the teens themselves were interviewed, the results showed that younger siblings often felt that their parents were biased towards the first-born. They added that this knocked their self-esteem. The researchers found that because they were first to reach vital life stages, the oldest siblings tended to feel more confident and assertive. The study of 384 families, which was published in the Journal of Family Psychology, had actually set out to prove that first-born children were the ones who felt hard done by. However, it was actually the oldest siblings who felt like they were favoured by their parents. This was usually because they were the first to succeed in sports and school. Are you the eldest child?
