Obviously, parents love all of their children equally. But still, there’s some good news if you felt like a put-upon eldest child. It was believed that the youngest child was the favourite child and sometimes we can’t argue with that. But listen up if you’re the eldest child… A recent study has found that it’s not the youngest child that’s liked the most. It’s actually the eldest! While eldest children around the world have had to be the example for their younger siblings and parents being extra strict on them, it looks like there was a good reason. A study has revealed – a real scientific one – that the eldest sibling is favoured by their parents. The study asked pairs of teenage siblings no more than four years apart in age how they felt their parents treated them. While parents admitted to having a favourite child, 74 percent of mums and 70 percent of dads confessed to have a preference, they didn’t reveal which child. However, when the teens themselves were interviewed, the results showed that younger siblings often felt that their parents were biased towards the first-born. They added that this knocked their self-esteem. The researchers found that because they were first to reach vital life stages, the oldest siblings tended to feel more confident and assertive. The study of 384 families, which was published in the Journal of Family Psychology, had actually set out to prove that first-born children were the ones who felt hard done by. However, it was actually the oldest siblings who felt like they were favoured by their parents. This was usually because they were the first to succeed in sports and school. Are you the eldest child?
