At the moment its easy - we only have the one !!

Fortunately I only have one grandchild so of course she is my favourite - no contest!

Absolutely no favourites in this house! The thought of it appals me.

no favourites for me, they are all unique and have many qualities

No favourites in our house - all chips off the old block - Dad's a Forester!

I do not really have a favourite. They range from 20 - 6 in age. But I am close to the younger two than the older two. This is because my daughter works and I have looked after them since they were babies - so I know a lot about them. They are all very different characters, so I can love the for different things.

NannyC1 if you go to Acronyms at the top of the page, all will be revealed.

It is a tricky question. Always give same amount for birthdays and Christmas and recently money in lieu of Easter eggs which neither like! However one lives the other side of the world and I have only seen him 3 times in 5 years, the other is local and I see him most days after school. It would be impossible to have the same relationship with the distant one as I do with the local one. However I would never make this apparent to either child or family and make a big effort not to talk about the local one unless specifically asked.

Each of my gc is my "favorite" in a different way.

I've got four grandchildren, sometimes I don't like one of them because of their behaviour but I always love them equally

I have seven grandchildren, six of whom are boys and one is a step grandson.
As others have said they are all special in their own way, and I don't have a favourite, but I do have to admit I am not so close to my step grandson, we're both a bit reserved with each other. However, there is no way I would show any favouritism for the other boys.

I only have one grandchild and love her to bits. Had a friend who had two grandsons, she always said the eldest was her favourite, can never understand that. She also had a favourite child the eldest can't believe that either. Always treated mine the same and loved them both equally. When my son died my heart was broken, how would she feel in my that situation.

No favourites for me. I have two Grandsons and I love them both.

I'm new to these forums. So can someone explain the abbreviations please.x

I have two granddaughters who are twins so have had them both always at the same time. Their mother decided they would be her only children and my younger daughter does not have any and probably won't have them in the future so these will always be the only ones. Despite being twins they are very different and I love them and treat them just the same . I call them both ' my bestest beautiful girl'

I only have one grandson and he is20 weeks. So I am a new grandma. I do not know if I would have a favourite but if I do I will not let it be known to anyone..even my husband

Mine are all my favourite, for their own individual personalities.
My first a grandson who is four, when you discover the completely different love you have with a grandchild.He was born with a cleft lip so had surgery at four months old. He is a real nanny's boy. My first granddaughter ,born to my other daughter who was born at 32 weeks,at 2lb 11 1/2 oz.for her fight and determination. finally my second granddaughter who took a while to like other people apart from mummy and daddy.Bizarely started to love when she was ill when you think she would prefermummy. now the three of them squish me in a nanny sandwich.

Each one of my four are special and are favourites when I am with them . I try to have a time when I can be with each one separately to give them my full attention ,I do notice the 6 year old twins particularly enjoy this .

Of course we all have favourites
My favourite daughter has given me my favourite grandson....

I have four various ages from 20's down& all lovely & wonderful with their own qualities ?

I am a step-grandmother, like many others. I have no contact with one of the families, (their choice.) One of my late DH's DDs has two GC and they are lovely — thoroughly grown up, and we get on well. I confess that when my only DD had my only GC, that relationship surprised me by being so much more intense.

My closest friend has five GC, four adopted from one family, and one the (surprise) child of the DS. She tries to treat them the same but says she can't help the relationship being different. The children themselves treat her in a different way. She tries not to let the adopted children feel that the new arrival is somehow more special.

The survey could have included questions about this, because it does seem to affect the relationship, however hard we try not to let it.

I have three favourite grandchildren. All very different but equally charming in their own ways. I feel very lucky. But I guess I may not be the only one

No favourite, they are both beautiful and have very different temperaments. My heart and arms are big enough to hold both of them.

I wouldn't admit to having favourites, but If I was really pushed I would say my eldest granddaughter (I have 4). Because she was the first, and I looked after her 3 days a week when her mum went back to work, everything was being done for the first time and as such seemed that much more special. When the second one came along it was never the same really, although we did exactly the same things we did before it wasn't on a 1-1 basis any more, and of course that little bit harder. When eventually I was minding 3 of them we didn't seem to have the time to do all the things we did before because it took so long to even get ready to get out of the house. My 4th granddaughter was adopted, and although I have known her from a baby I only spent odd times with her because she lived too far away. Recently however we have been on lots of lovely holidays together . and I take them to Wales for a week every year which they really enjoy. All are treated in exactly the same way, never giving more to one than the other and we all have great memories of the things we have done.

I can't say I have a favourite grandchild, but like my own children there are occasions when I's rather be with one rather than the others ans it depends on what I'm doing at the time
