Parents--Is this weird? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?

I am a daddy little girl. I am very close to my dad. We always do most things together.





I grown up and moved for college and work. I have 3 other siblings. Two youngers brother also moved for college and work. My little sister is still living with my parents.





I call my parents twice a month. My mom always say my dad miss me so much. He talks about me every night before going to bed. My mom even said, my dad loves me more than other siblings. She even said, in front of my younger siblings once.


Luckily, my younger siblings are great and open-minded. They love and respect me as their older sister.





Don't you think my parents are weird to say that --they love me more than other kids.

Yes, that's weird and cruel to the other kids in the house.Parents--Is this weird? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
It's weird and bad to say in front of your younger siblings it might them feel rejected but they're not telling you.
It's sort of weird that your parents would say that especially in front of your other siblings. I mean I understand favortism as I was both sets of my grandparents favorite grandchild but that was more understood and not spoken aloud. I think it's wonderful that your younger siblings are respectful and open-minded but I would step up and tell them that your parents love you all the same as to not cause any emotional disturbance in the future. You may even consider talking to your parents in private. You are the oldest, their first and most precious child, but explain that they need to speak their love for the others as well. God bless and take care.
I find it to be very odd. I know that each of my children are very different but I love them both more than life itself. Sometimes parents may jokingly tell one child they love them more, but to say it and actually mean it? I came from a family of 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy. All of use doing well except for my brother who chose to go down the wrong involving drugs and alcohol. I have never though heard my parents say they love him any less than they love the rest of us, as they shouldn't. Maybe it's time for you to point this out to them.
honestly i don't think no parent should prefer one child over the other and worse yet say it in front of that child, that could hurt a child and emotionally scar that child too, it's not good at all.Parents should be careful of what they say to kids, even though they may feel it they still shouldn't say it to hurt the other child, luckily your younger siblings are open minded like you said but had this been another child that other child could end up hating you out of jealousy and hating your parents which could lead to rebellious behaviour, and other things, so i do not think that's a good idea at all to say that they prefer one child over the other.
It is kinda cruel....even if they feel this way....they should not show it or express it, especially to your siblings. You are very lucky to have such loving siblings that don't hold any grudges towards you.
i too was daddy's little girl.........but never felt like i was loved more than my 4 siblings. and my parents would never have said that to me or anyone else.
You can love your kids differently but you should never have favorites or verbally express it. This may pose a problem when you guys are middle age. Usually parents favorites are given more of an inheritance and are expected to take care of ill parents. I would be hurt if my mother said my sister was her favorite, it can make you feel unimportant. Look up info on sibling rivalry.
uhhhhh yea it is sort of weird but that is how my dad is he favors me and so does my mom but not as much ( i have an older brother)
There are some things that you just don't say out loud, and that is one of them!!!
That is not something that should ever fall out of a paren'ts mouth even if you do love your kids differently.





Since you are the closest to dad, you will have the most control over his behavior. I would have a heart to heart with dad, point out the good qualities of your siblings that you love and ask him to try to focus on those qualities too and get to know and love them better. Let him know that that kind of comment is hurtful to you because you love your siblings so much. If he doesn't want to try to get to know them better, you can also ask him to at least keep his opinions on that topic to himself, that you dont want to see your sibs feelings hurt and that his favoritsm puts you in a bad place.





He may not even realize what he is doing and possibly might just need a wake up call. Good luck!
Yes. You don't tell a child that. It would be comparable to telling your father you love him more then mom.
