  1. Good topic, Ava. Yes, we all have our favorites, whether it’s friends, children, grandchildren or even our parents or grandparents. The trick is not letting anyone know. 🙂

    The thing is, we don’t always “connect” with our kids. Maybe we have 2 children and one has a similar personality, so we have common interests and all. Our other child is the total opposite in personality, so we find it harder to talk to them or do things with them.

    I have that. And I also have a special needs adult daughter. I’ve learned to find common ground with my child whose personality is different from mine. And while we don’t do a ton of stuff together, when we are together, we have a great time.

    I have 2 grandchildren – a granddaughter (age 10) and a grandson (age 8). You’d think I’d be closer with my granddaughter, but I’m not. While my granddaughter loves reading and some other things I enjoy, my grandson has my personality totally. My son, DIL, and granddaughter all are introverted and have social anxiety. My grandson is the total opposite. They have no idea what to do with him. Ha!! But me? I have a blast with him. Because my son, youngest daughter, and husband are all introverts and have some social anxiety. I’m surrounded!! Or at least I was until Lucas was born.

    Still, I have no real favorites. I just have people I relate to better, that’s all. It’s not a case of love. It’s a case of personality.
