I couldn't help but smile when I read the topic line. I would have to say that if anything I experianced just the opposite. Now in reality my parents (had 3 kids and I was the only one adopted) treated us all pretty much the same. But the fact is with 2 girls and 1 boy(me) I will be the one who will carry on the family name.
My parents are both dead now and the oldest child (I was the youngest) executed the will. Everything was divided equally. However there was about 100 acres of land to divide and my parents specified that I get to pick first which part of the land I wanted. It was becasue the girls had taken some of their "share" earlier in order to build homes and I had never taken any.
We always kid around about how my parents like me more. I came along late in life and I think by the time I got here they had mellowed a lot so I got away with more and had more freedoms. (my sisters still whine about how my dad bought me a car but not them LOL) But I can see how some parents would treat the "real" kids better. Its a shame and I was blessed never to have had that problem.
