<human>: So the majority of parents claim to love their children equally, and some go as far as to say "I love you the same, but differently." or something along those lines. But how many of you actually have a favorite?

I know my mom loves me, but man, all my life she has shown *obvious* favoritism for my sister (she's the oldest, I'm the youngest; it's just us). Even while growing up, when my friends first met my mom, they could tell right away that my mom adored my sister; many of them hadn't even *met* my sister and my mom would talk their ear off about her. Of course, if I ever try to talk to my mom about it, she denies it. 

I'm almost 27 now (my sister is 31) and I've gotten used to it for the most part, but man, some of the stuff she says/does that is obvious favoritism still irks me. One thing I remember outright was when she said "Since your sister was born with her artistic talent, I guess we expected you to be born with some sort of obvious talent too." ._. Gee, thanks, mom. I was in my early teens when she said that to me. After high school I pretty much "gave up" on trying to make her proud because I knew it was pointless anyway; no matter what I did, it was nothing compared to my sister.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: How many parents on Reddit have a favorite child? Do you make it obvious? Do you deny it if it's obvious to one or more of your children?
