Do you...

think it's possible for a parent to dislike one of their own children...Or if they have more than one child, to prefer the other children more than the one...

 

yes.

w/o a doubt.

 

oh yes! i think its very possible. I have seen in happen a few times with a few friends. It's so heartbreaking(to me) to see that. It's a shame that some parents can actually be like that.

 

I do think it's possible, like if the child was really horrible and might kill them in their sleep.

Are we talking about normal parents, or ones parents that should have been sterilized at birth?

 

really..

what if the child never done anything wrong, but the parent showed the others more attention than the one and it was really obvious as well, do you think its cause they dont care for that one, even though they did nothing wrong, ever...

 

I would say yes. I think it's possible to favour one child over the other and even to dislike them. Maybe not when they are small, but after they develope a consistent personality. Just because you dislike them doesn't mean you don't love them. I have family members that I wouldn't choose to be my friends, but I still love them. I just don't like them.

 

yeah, I really think so. I can't imagine my parents not liking me, but I have had many friends that it seemed like thier parents didn't like them at all.

My biggest fear if I get pregnant is not financial stuff, or the stress, it's the fact that I might resent my baby for getting in the way of stuff. I think it's very possible.

Also, I know that parents can like one child more. my grandma prefers my uncle to any of her children.

 

have you read the book "A child called It"? its a trilogy series and it is so sad.

What if the child is better than the other siblings, they never ask for anything, and are always nice to the parents and do things for them all the time, but the parents never talk to that one child or ever show they care ever...is it cause they dont like that one child..

 

Is this about you? You've posted a bit about it....I think you are a much lower-maintenance child, and maybe your parents have gotten in a rut. Dug themselves a ditch and can't get out, if you take my meaning.

 

no, but that does sound really sad...

 

'If I don’t meet you no more in this thread then uh
I’ll meet ya on the next one
And don’t be late
Don’t be late'

 

haha yeah the jig is up

I was just curious cause the last thing my parents knew was that I was having surgery and they never called or visited or anything to see how i was..
Ive always had problems with them so horribly bad that I wont go into but I was just curious if a parent can actually not like their child...

 

well, sometimes , in my dad's family, the parents like the children who are needier because people like to feel needed. My dad hardly ever sees them, because he supports himself 100%. My aunt however, is favored because she asks for money and favors all the time, and my grandma likes to do things for people.

I have no idea if your situation is like this at all, but this is just an example. You are a really strong, funny woman and you're not like the "normal" depressed, dramatic person, so maybe they think you're a bit odd.

I don't know I'm pulling stuff out of my ass now. My mom would like you if that makes you feel any better.

 

hehe awww thanks...

I mean, Its more my mom..
Like she will purposely say hurtful things to me, and straight out say she enjoys the company of my other siblings more than me..
I mean, I dont care nonetheless, but was just curious if parents can not like one of their children for really no particular reason..

 

um, hello! neglected child over here!! my father wanted nothign to do with me, my mother figured i did just fine on my own.

 

Your dad sure the hell missed out..

 

i'm trying to figure out how anyone could not enjoy your company...hummm, you seem like so much fun and so nice....

 

i think so, for sure. my mom and dad had the boys. dad neglected me and my oldest brother to raise the Golden Child, the middle brother. my mom's favorite was the oldest brother. there wasn't a single school play or open house of mine that either of my parents attended. i was never placed in any sort of activities, though my brothers were both in sports and stuff like that. then, when i was 10, and the boys were on their way out, there was jocelyn, then a few years later, dl. both of whom inspired my mother and father's devotion. my mother doesn't even know when my birthday is. lol. so yeah, it's possible.

 

ya know kc that is exactly how it is with my other siblings and my parents..
But like I said they are the ones missing out...

also the thing that gets me is I am having a lot of womenly health problems, and i dont know what to do and want a little guidence and my mother refuses to help me or give me any type of suppor or advice..

but then it just strives us not to be like them, ya know..
