I was reading an article in a magazine that I've already decided is not worth my time. It's a good thing it was free or I would have felt I really wasted my money. The article was about a woman who had twins (I think those were her only children) and how when she was pregnant, she was appalled to find out a friend of hers who had twins had a favorite. The point of the article is that after she had twins she realized she had a favorite and that it was just the way it is. She talked about how "this is my baby and that one is my husbands."
What?!! OK, I can see how you might like one child better one day but to love one better overall? Can that be healthy to a parent/child relationship? What happened to the idea of "love you equally but differently?" Perhaps I am naive, but I do my best to spend time with each of my children. I make it a goal to work on keeping/developing a strong, loving relationship with each of them.

I totally agree with you. Honestly, there are days that I'm more frustrated with one, or another one is just being ridiculously adorable, but I can't imagine feeling MORE LOVE for one of them over another. Each child is unique, and I love them for all of their unique-ness :)
wow this really blows me away! I mean I can't imagine ever picking which one of my twins I love more and I can't imagine my life without either of them in it! This is just crazy.
