Is it bad that I'm more proud of my son that I am my daughter?
What makes you more proud of your son over your daughter?
My son is such a high achiever and plans to run the family business. My daughter is failing out of school and life in general.
Favoritism can cause a child to have anger or behavior problems, increased levels of depression, a lack of confidence in themselves, and a refusal to interact well with others. These issues appear in children who were favored by a parent as well as those who were not.
I think my daughter is a lost cause, my son makes me very proud.
I know you favor your son, but your daughter deserves attention as well. If she's struggling, try to show her you love and care for her and help her get her life back on track. Don't play favorites with your children, it will lead to hurt feelings between them.
