Looks like our parents lied to us after all
Parents say they love their children equally. But new research shows most people can easily identify the family "favourite" as well as the "black sheep".
The research, by Julie Fitness, associate professor of psychology at Macquarie University, shows 69 per cent of her sample of 70 could identify the family "favourite" and 80 per cent could identify the "black sheep".
"Parents say they treat their children equally. But when you ask people they say 'Of course there was a favourite.' They take it for granted."
