Do you agree or disagree that parents don't pick favorites-- they are fair and loving to all of their children? Why or why not?

I know for a fact that some parents do pick favorites with out even knowing. Unfortunately I feel that even though they say they don't have a favorite deep down inside where they are unaware they do have a favorite and they just don't want to admit it and they try to deny it even if their favorite is only their favorite by the smallest bit.

No because all parents love their children equally even though one might bother them more than the other.

Parents are humans just like you and me they cannot prevent themselves from picking favorites. They may try to be fair but they cannot always get to do that properly.

No they pick favorites. I always find that you can tell a parents has a favorite even if they don't want to admit it.

Every human is different and some parents may have a favorite. While I think picking a favorite is wrong, I do think there are many adults that pick a favorite child.

Parents do pick favorites. Don't lie to yourselves. They try not to, but they can't help it. If you had children and one loved doing stuff with you and making kitchen appliances for you while the other kept to themself and constantly punched holes in walls, knocking the house down, you'd probably like the first child more.

You will always have a favorite in something, because loving/liking something/someone equally just doesn't work. It's natural to love someone more than another, especially your children. It might not be by much, but still not equally.

They love their kids equally but they tend to have one that they like more than the other based on the way they may act.

Parents pick favorites. the younger ones are normally the favorites because the older ones have to live up to what parents want and dont acheive it so they get upset.

I disagree I think that parents definitively pick favorites. Some children can be more difficult than others and the parents would probably favor the less difficult child over the more difficult one. Parents will always tell you that they don't pick favorites but I think subconsciously they do, even if they aren't aware of it.

I do believe it can happen sometimes but it may not all be on purpose or shouldn't be taken personally. It could also maybe just come off like that to another child if they are feeling jealous or left out.

Parents tend to have a favorite because they want a kid of a particular gender so they can "do" their hair or they can play rough sports. They also favor those who follow their rules and act the way they wish.

I do agree that all parents love each of their kids equally. Although, I do see how some may disagree since it may come off that parents treat one kid different than the other because one might be more of a trouble maker.

I don't agree to this, mostly because my brothers get away with some things that, I always get yelled at for, plus, it is just human nature to like something more than another.

Parents easily pick favorites. Like if they have only one daughter/son they most likely will be the favorite or if they listen and are a suck up to the parents.

I agree that parents dont pick favorites. My parents treat me and my brother the same. They have done that for awhile and I cant see them switching anytime soon.

I think that sometimes parents do pick favorites, but they just don't know that they do. Sometimes it shows when they yell at one child and take away their phone but when the other does something wrong they just say"don't o it again". I think they they assume they treat their kids the same but really, most of them favor one even though they don't try to.

I think that parents do pick favorite sometimes even depending on the gender of the child or it could be the way they act or who they are. My parents mostly treat me brother and i the same but he got more things that me when he was younger (i am not complaining) but i think thats just because he was the first child.

I think that parents without knowing it do choose favorites through if the kid is their biological kid or not and if they are close to that kid or not compared to the other kid.

I think that parents definitely pick favorites, but not intentionally.

disagree my parents might try their hardest to not pick favorites but they do. They might show it the simplest way, not in a big way.

I do not really watch the news that much, but I do believe that there is a difference between news and information. One of those differences is news usually has more facts to back it up where as information does not usually have all that many facts to back it up with. You could also argue that news is just information but it includes more detail. This I can agree with you can hear a rumor going around school, that is information, but it is not a proven fact. News is nothing but facts. Some people might want to argue that though with all this fake news stuff going around right now.
