Different Love

How such things can be - in one family to love children differently!? Hardly later he will show in practice that he also manages to do that…

In my childhood I never felt shortages of attention, everything has happened when I was 13 or 15: I have suddenly felt that my grandmother gives all her care to my younger sister and even my eternally borrowed mum too… Years have passed before I’ve understood that in course of time I began to irritate a little my grandma with my closedness, predilection for reading, but mum, on the contrary, always felt our proximity, but she was afraid to be unfair and tried to not allow feeling in any way to my sister her estrangement… How it turns out that your own child whom you love without reservation causes in you feeling of bewilderment and even irritation, and another one - the loser or the idler, ordinary-looking and ridiculous – is inexpressibly cherished. But more often the second child is loved more, than the first. That child, who in his/her childhood was often ill, is loved more often even more strongly.

My friend does not understand this, but he has one kid.
