Yes I love my 3 kids though my eldest has made it hard and still does. I hate him at times - being honest - and hate how he makes me feel but I have done and still do a lot for him - does that mean I love him more than the others who are very easy to be with or less or the same !
And equally, sqad, there appear to be a number who think that at least one parent did not love them - pity we can't ask the perceived "unloving" parent if this was the case.
Well I love my 2 with all my being but one of them tries my patience and uderstanding beyond normal endurance.I wouldnt put up with it from anyone else.
