I can go on and on about what you should do, but think about this statement in quote "Don't make yourself an excuse of a Father"

If you keep this up, you'd allow your children grow up giving themselves class. Forgeting they are blood related.

Try this, give them different motivation and love them for it. That way, you're part of their life.

Assalamu alaikum...

I spend plenty of quality time with them during weekends. we go out but not together most times because am someone who doesn't like attention. whenever we go shopping together, I always feel like the center of attraction because of the numbers I took with me.
so most times I only go out shopping with my son and buy things for those at home.


am not enjoying it but I just find it hard to love them equally.
I need help
Why don't you start by CONSCIOUSLY rotating who you take out if you won't take all of them out at the same time.
Also since you've identified the other twin as your least favourite,consciously spend time with her.
Don't make your girls especially feel like the boy is preferred.

Raising children is not just an emotional thing,it's a conscious effort to do right.
Work on your relationship with your wife too.

You are a Nairaland bot grin You don't need any help tongue

Anyway, we should all know our kids are our responsibilities, you will definitely love one more than the rest I.e. Their is usually heirachy of love for the kids, irrespective of qualities but we should understand that they must all be raised with equal standards and attention ..... They must all receive the same level of discipline and attraction ........

I think their is need to create school of child raising so as to avoid psychoskanskan kids in the future ..... Op is already creating psychological disorder for his perceived kids ..... and the first born is gonna be the most failed amongst them all ..... Spoiltbrat !!!

Nonetheless, The Op is a lie tongue

n my family, I didn't really care who loved me most or who hated me most, I just hated everyone and avoided them. And it made my very different from my siblings. My introverted nature was on another level.

You have already ruined your relationship with those girls.
That boy would feel superior to them.
Take all 3 of them out, Either that or you aren't ready to change..
My dad was and is still an idiotic drunkard.
Had a tough childhood.
Don't give those twins one too.

You just indirectly told me you don't love your wife.... divorce please. The issue is not with the kids, you don't love 'em equally because some took their mother resemblance.


I know you're avoiding the main issue here, divorce the poor woman if you're tired of the marriage.

I have heard people saying one has to love his kids equally or don't show it even if you love one more, but I find it hard to pretend .

I have 3 kids, a boy and twin girls. I love the 1st born more than the rest because he is a boy and love one of the twins more than the other.
I place the male as the number in the home even ahead of the mom. he is very smart for his age and resembles me 100 percent. and for the twins, I love the one that looks like my late mom and very smart than the other.

Bro don’t sweat it. It’s normal. You can’t love your kids same way but for your own sake never let it show.


Not showing it is the most important. Make sure no one can notice it that’s why you’re the father.

you better love them equally, you don't know what tomorrow brings.... Be wise... The one you don't like may turn out to be the greatest among the three.

The same problem I'm facing here. My mum loves me more than she loves anybody at home. I try all my best to discourage her every now and then, but she seems not to understand that I feel guilty about it. She takes my opinion more serious than that of her husband, my Dad.

Same way my grandmother love my brother more than me cause he is a boy and my great grand parents never had a boy, my dad love me more than my brother cause I look like my mum and he love her very much.


You cannot love your kids equally no matter how hard you try cause they will all be different in reasoning and attitude.

I’m happy u atleast are aware what ur doing is wrong. If u want to give a balanced love u have to be intentional. Make out time for each of ur kids separately and pay attention to them differently and collectively. Increase ur love for the one u seem not to love by giving more time to her. It will save u future headache.

Also note smtmes loving a particular kid too much can make them misbehave. Balanced love is generally healthier.

The one u don’t like may end up wiser then the ones u even so called like. Einstein wasn’t so smart in his early life.

In as much as I can't even comprehend D possibility of loving my child more than my other child, I will wait till I have a second child before I draw the conclusion however I highly doubt I will ever do that given the fact that my mum never really showed me affection, she always preferred to pet my elder brother. Fact. But no hard feelings. It made me strong.

you know its causing division, yet you still doing it. Those kids would grow up hating themselves,if you keep hiving preferential treatments to the ones you love.
What would you do if the least loved one becomes more successful than the others?

Lol, Nigerians are funny, showed my brother this thread and mock tears rolled down his checks and nutty him says he wished he was born and brought up here maybe he wouldn't have had any need to extremely self sufficient and independent and would have been dads favorite since African men carry male kids on their heads, unfortunately our dad is westernized and bundled him out of the house at 18 to go be a man cry, the ladies??... grin

So Op, keep treating your kids with obvious dislike, disdain, inequality and comparison, you would get old one day so whatever seed you sow today so shall you reap.

PS- I always hear of families, brothers, sisters, who hate themselves and don't mind poisoning and killing each other (aka village ppl) so this is how the seeds of envy and hate where sown.
