Favoritism

May seem weird why this subject is included right? Read along, I'm sure you'll agree with me this is one of the key steps in our development years that can manifest itself in later years.
A friend of mine said she was very glad to see no favoritism in her father in law towards his 3 sons. The 3 sons, having families of their own loved each other dearly and have very little misunderstandings between them. This grandfather didn't display any favoritism towards the grandchildren too despite one of the sons not having any daughters. All of them get along so well including the daughter in laws.
No one likes to compare, right. I know of another friend who has a younger brother who gets everything he wants even when he's not mature enough to have it...to the dissatisfaction of the sister. Over the years living under this "favoritism" has made here bitter towards her brother. Even after marriage, she never gave in to the brother as a form of vendetta. This took a long time and was painful to overcome.
In our married relationship - our upbringing can pose a threat to it and if not checked it can ruin a happy family. We're here to build this journey today and tomorrow, so let it be our desire to be fair to all in the family.
Your kids will love you and appreciate you for this.
