    Many parents have more than one child. And lots of these parents not only put their children first. They also love their children equally.

    I think for any parent to love one child more than the other is lousy. Parents are supposed to love each of their children equally. Not doing so can cause some real self-esteem issues for the child that wasn't loved by his or her parents as much as his or her siblings were.

    I was fortunate to grow up in a home in which I was loved just as much by my parents as my brother was. But I couldn't imagine how I would have felt if my parents had loved my brother more than me, or, at the other end of the spectrum, if my parents had loved me more than my brother.
