Precisely because of these situations that it is easy to identify the “darling” of the family
Being the favorite child may seem like a privilege, but only those who have grown in this position really understand what it is.
From small gestures to important decisions, everything seems to spin to your advantage.
However, this “title” also comes with some curious – and even uncomfortable situations.
If you have already been seen as the darling of the house, you will identify with the following situations.
6 things that only those who grew up being the favorite child will understand
1. Always receive the best piece of food
Who never realized that the favorite son’s dish was mounted more affectionately? Whether at Sunday or at that simple everyday dinner, I always had extra care. A larger piece of meat, the favorite dessert guaranteed and sometimes even a special plate just for him.
2. Be the first to be heard (or defended)
In family discussions or delicate situations, the favorite child almost always has his version heard more carefully. It is as if parents believed more easily in what he says. Also, when something went wrong, it was common for the other brothers to blame even before any explanation.
3. Get better gifts (or in the largest quantity)
On commemorative dates, such as birthdays or Christmas, the favorite child always received something a little more special. Even if discreetly, the gifts tended to be more expensive, better thought out or even more numerous. And of course, all this without lifting suspicions – at least in theory.
4. Having more freedom (and less scolding)
Another point that only the favorite child understands is how much more freedom he had compared to his brothers. He could leave later, make bolder orders and still escape several scolding. Sometimes, even when he was ugly missing, he received only a light “talk”, while the others were rebuked more rigorously.
5. turn the example of the family
This is classic. The favorite son, even without asking, was cited as an example for the others. “Look how he behaves,” “You should be more like him.” And that generated two things: pride and also invisible pressure to remain “right.”
6. Being the target of envy (and brothers’ jokes)
Finally, only those who were the favorite son know how much the brothers can take the foot. Whether it’s a joke or in times of real irritation, it is common to hear jokes like “of course, you are the darling,” or “Mom only spoils you.” Deep down everyone knew – and that sometimes created even a barrier between the brothers.
