I have three daughters ages 3, 7, and 15. I don't love them all the same way. I can't really explain how I love them differently, but I DO love all of them. I guess I just feel close to them in different degrees.???? Does that make sense?
I guess that's kind of understandable because children of different ages need different kinds of help and love depending on what stage of life they're in - you wouldn't treat a 15 year old the same way you would treat a 5 year old and a 15 year old doesn't have the same/needs problems as a 5 year old. Just make sure you don't show any kind of favoritism.
They have different personalities and they are at different age levels, so they are going to need different things from you. My mother loves my and my sisters differently we are 20, 17, and 12. She is starting to see me as more of a friend but she loves me and we can confide in each other. THe 17 year old needs tough parental love that keeps her in line and my mom can girly gab with her that she can't with me. The 12 year old is the baby and still act much younger so she still needs mommy, but wants to be grown up. All of your children are at different stages and as long as they all feel loved and that you love all of them everything is normal.
I think it's normal to love them "differently"; as long as it's not different amounts of love.
Yes, it makes perfect sense. Mine are adults now. I have 2. 4 1/2 years apart. It is difficult to explain it. Loved equally, but different. They have their own special qualities that make them shine. In fact, just 10 minutes ago I texted both of them telling them I love them. My oldest lives out of state. I do that sometimes. Just out of the blue. It makes it more special to them when they don't expect it.
Peace
Spend time with all of them together. Find what seems that you have in common with them then you spend time with them individually
