I have three daughters as different as the Sun the Earth and the Moon. I love them all with full capacity. When it's real, it's not measurable on comparative notions of equity. They are different and I treat them differently, to do otherwise would not be loving. The oldest might get jewelry and a night out from me while the youngest gets a pinwheel or a lump of play doe and some time to play with me, each according to her need at the moment. Some people think you have to get treated the same materially to be equal, I disagree. We can love a friend, a spouse, and a child equally without violating trust or breaching loyalties to anyone.

gosh ....of corse we all love our children...but is there not one that you are a bit more proud of than the others...

one that has a sweeter disposition ..

one that is always more willing to help?

or maybe one that requires more love...

Its easy to say you love them all exactly equally.....yet you are only human ...

your love cant be perfectly devided in equal measure.

and with 5 children are you saying they have never complained that one of them is preferred over another.

do you live in perfect harmony

that is why i assumed you you had no children ...because you did not use yours as an example.

and why the num nut.....must you add insult to make your point valid?
