There's Something About Joseph.

[Cormac135]

There’s something about Joseph.
Joseph was Jacob’s favorite child whom he loved more than all his other children, and he made no attempt to hide it from his other sons.

Are you your parents favourite child ?

I guess it's only natural that parents would have a favourite even if they didn't say it out loud,was it you and did your other siblings hate you for it ?

 

[DantheManFL]

Nope, I was black sheep of the family.

 

[Alistair]

Yes. I've always been, and still am the favorite. My sister has always been a weirdo

 

[MrRochesterNY]

Speak of the devil.

 

[gsdx]

Nope. 'Twasn't me, so 'twasn't. My parents didn't choose favourites, but some of us were less-favourite than the others. (I was one of the 'less-favourites'.)

My mother didn't like me, and it began before I was school age. Eventually, the family finished imploding when I was 14, and I was given the choice to leave or stay. I left the next day and never regretted it.

My mother and I lived out the rest of her life in an uneasy truce. We never argued again but still never loved one another.

My four siblings were close to Mother. I am thankful for those who have chosen to love me rather than felt obligated by blood.

My parents tried hard not to have favorites and I didn't detect any favoritism.

Many here know of my "tribulations" with my very homophobic father. So, no. Was not even in the running to be a son of his.

My mother on the other hand, loved me as her first born child, even with all the defects my father proclaimed i had as a "bum-boy".

I was the youngest of 2 boys, I had been told Ad nauseam after his death that I was always his favorite. I wish I had known or been
informed before his death... it would have been great to realize that someone in the family didn't hate me.

2 brothers. All 3 of us are alfas. I'm the youngest. The eldest was and remains the most competitive with our father, and growing up was the most aggressive with our mother, but otherwise pretty much perfect, a golden boy to be sure, but his personality precluded him being the favorite. Middle son is the most independent and keeps his distance, so again, his personality gets in the way of being the favorite. Which leaves me. I'm most like our father, and he knows it. I think he sees himself in me. He's a really egotistical guy, and I think our similarities and shared interests helped to make me his favorite. He loves guiding me and I thrive on his guidance, and while we compete athletically and intellectually, we treat it like a game that we're both winning. Our mother is just about perfect, and like the best mothers wants more than anything to love and nurture, and perhaps because I'm the most responsive of her sons, I'm again the favorite. That all being said, I think we're a pretty happy family. No major problems or traumas or feuds, and an abundance of good feelings and good times.

Speaking of favorites:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_and_Esau

Jacob wrote the story on favorites and rivalries. Esau really got the short end of the stick.

Plus Rebecca, his mother, would seem to be the prototype of the scheming wife or concubine in the Ottoman sultan's harem.

And what's the significance of Esau being hairy and Jacob smooth?

My fathers' name is Joseph. It is quite tricky to say whether he was the favorite child among them two brothers. His brother is quite different. As for myself, I am the youngest kiddo in the family and the most pampered one (blushyboi)

I was the youngest of 2 boys, I had been told Ad nauseam after his (my fathers) death that I was always his favorite. I wish I had known or been

I had to repair this a little.
