A new survey has found that one in ten parents admit to having a favorite child.
According to the survey from YouGov, arents with two children who admit to having a favorite overwhelmingly (62%) prefer the youngest, while 30% say they prefer the eldest. These are similar numbers to parents with three or more children who favor one above the others. Though many (43%) prefer the youngest, a third (34%) prefer the middle, and unfortunately, fewer (19%) prefer the eldest.
a third of people who believe their parents had a favorite while they were growing up, and that it permanently damaged family ties. This figure is higher for women than men, and peaks among people aged between 35 and 44.
