Favoritism
One thing I tend to avoid with my children is the idea of favoritism.
Although they are both different, I find myself loving them both equally.
I used to think of my own siblings as one person.
This concept applies to my children.
The moment one of them accomplishes something, I invite the other to participate in a moment of praise. I then praise the other with something special that they may have done that day.
Favoritism hurts. It especially hurts when grandparents spend more time with and pay more attention to other children besides your own. Eventually, the best thing to do is accept it. Sometimes biological families aren’t the best medicine for the soul. Sometimes they'll make you feel bad about yourself by inviting you somewhere that they actually don’t want you to be. It is therefore beneficial to raise your children with close friends, distant cousins and others who share similar qualities. You want your children to feel loved and accepted. It is therefor, up to you as their parent to facilitate their social skills by surrounding them with positive people. There are no rules in regards to what a family is.
The harmless moralist causes no problems. Instead, they quietly resolve them and let the joy in their heart guide them. They do not partake in favoritism and enjoy the company of those who cherish the value of equality. Everyone is special in their own way serving a purpose on this earth rendering favoritism pointless. Live and enjoy the positivity of the spirits that all of your family and friends bring to you.
