I think it's okay as long as the favouritism isn't acted on too much. It's obvious that my sister is the favourite. And it was embarrassingly obvious that I was my grandma's favourite.
Although I will say that some of the lack of favouritism was not my fault but my grandfather's. He was charming and social, always had a crowd around him at the pub, had a strong mathematical flair, an eye for the ladies, got into comically bizarre situations, but began to let people down, and eventually really let the family down by ending up in prison. My father was both intimidated and let-down by him. Apart from the prison part (yet, anyway) he sees me as a carbon copy and, as the parent rather than the child, he is able to show his ire and punish me for what his own father did. I was never going to win that one.
Do you think it's right for parents to have favorites?

That sounds really awful and unhealthy. I'm sorry. D:
