DGS was only 4 when DGD was born and I loved him so much I was frightened that I wouldn't feel the same about the new baby. Of course I was wrong. Two years later and they both light up our lives.

How very honest of you Jaxie to reveal your feelings about your GD.

It's startling to see it written down.

I hate to say this, but I have a Downs Syndrome GD who has been so spoiled that she is positively obnoxious. She is wrecking the lives of her parents and sister with her incessant demands and unwillingness not to wake her exhausted parents 2 or 3 times a night. I can't stand her. My other 3 grandchildren I get on very well with.

I have a favourite and she knows it. I suspect everyone knows it. It just happened.
She is the first and is far closer to me than the others who I seldom see.
She is kind ,loving and considerate. She does far more for me and her GD than any of the others. Why wouldn't she be our favourite.

I do have a favourite and know that it must never ever show. I have two beautiful grandsons age 7 and 4 I think the reason I have such a special bond with the oldest is that he is so much more affectionate himself than the little one. Our 4 year old is lovely but very self contained and sometimes slightly aloof.
I will already said I will never let it show and really mean it they will always seem to be loved and treated the same.

I don't have a favourite granddaughter, (I have 3) but when we're all together, it's a family joke that I whisper loudly to whichever is nearest, "You're my favourite!". They all laugh because they know it isn't true.

I was my grandparents favourite to the exclusion of my siblings. It caused endless resentment and I hated it.

no favorites here love all my little doodles the same have three soon to be four

My favourite grandchild is the one that my son and his wife are praying to have after several years of infertility. In the meantime, the other five will do!

They are all my favourites!

I have three lovely Grandchildren, but certainly no favourite, I love them all the same. My Mother has always favoured my Sister over me, so I would never ever show favouritism to any of them!

Although I only have 1 grandchild she also has an older brother who has been a part of our son's life, & therefore also ours, since before he was born. I do feel more attached to our own granddaughter as it has always been difficult to strike a balance between showing our love for the boy & not stepping on the toes of his genetic grandparents as well as his mostly absent father (as it still is)

Each of our 9 grand-children is very different from the others (thank goodness). Love each one equally but in a way exclusive to them.

No favourites here but there are definitely times when I favour one over the others. This could be because of behaviour, age, needs or many other reasons but I would try my very best to not let it show.

Doesn't necessary have to be a favorite but maybe you feel sorry for one more then the other You don't have to buy more for one then the others You can just keep that extra bit of love and give more stolen hidden hugs kisses & thoughts locked in your heart.

We have two granddaughters. After having two son's we are absolutely delighted abou having been able to experience both boys and girls in the same life span..

I have four grandchildren. They come over to see me every Saturday for tea. My favourite very much depends on how each one acts on the day. As my son says, 'With four children, one of them is bound to be in a good mood!'

That one my favourite for the afternoon!!!

I have four gandsons and i love them all equally. I saw 2 of them being born and i thought that would make them extra special but i can honestly say i love them all equally.

They are all equal

They all have their own endearing ways no favourites in our house they are all the best

Well as I only have the one...at least at the mo, it doesn't apply yet. But when there are more, I would make absolutely sure to treat them exactly the same. I've seen favouritism at work and it creates nothing but misery for the 'non favourite'.

nope, i don't think it's fair to say who are your favourites

I have 4 grandchildren and we treat them all the same, but our only granddaughter lives with us and she seems to get more things like treats we buy, but they are also for the others when they visit

I don't have any favourites, I love and treat them all equally.

My favourite is the one that needs me most at any particular time.
