Do you secretly prefer one of your children over the others?

[QUOTE="DDD, post: 471037, member: 35"] Each of our six adult children are different from one another. Depending on the circumstances I would choose to be with one over another based on their personalities and the type of activity involved. Yes, I even love GFGmom but I don't like her lifestyle choices. Understatement, lol. Someone asked me twenty years ago "if you had to spend a month alone with one of your kids, who would it be?" I gave it some thought and answered truthfully. That "child" and I shared the same sense of humor, curiosity etc. He turned out to be the one who distanced himself himself from the family. At different ages I guess I've been more drawn to one over another. All of them know where I am and that they can count on me to cover their back. In 2011 there are two who would cover mine. Weird. DDD Obviously husband and I are really attached to difficult child#1 who has lived most of his life with us. We've shared so many wonderful times with him and yet he is the one who has caused the most stress. Life deals the deck in surprising ways. [/QUOTE]
