I try not to but yes, there is a favourite.. I endeavour to treat all the same.. but I do wonder whether the others know which is my favourite.. I like this particular son because he's always been so easy, easy to be around, easy to please, easy to get on with, easy to like.. My other two are quite similar and both are very difficult, very trying and very much hard work... and neither seem at all grateful for all that I have done and do do for them.. I still love them, and would die for them but yes one is a favourite and liked more.
