New blog on the block: Q8Mommas

 We are 2 extremely busy mommas that know what it is like to be a full time mom and work full time as well!  As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Looking around the blogosphere there are many intelligent mommy bloggers that we admire and respect, and because of them we decided we want to take part in sharing our experiences and knowledge.  We will discuss many vast issues such as pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum depression (yes it exists!), Pediatricians, nanny issues, schools, “the Guilt” that comes with being a mommy, and so much more.  We hope you enjoy reading our blog and continue to do so!

We are so happy to see more and more parenting blogs appear in Kuwait. Wishing them the best of luck! :))

Check out their blog  and don’t forget to follow them on twitter as well.

Parents do not have a favorite child – Truth or myth ?

In this week’s cover story, TIME’s Jeffrey Kluger confronts the myth that parents do not have a favorite child: “Mom and Dad will say it earnestly, they’ll repeat it endlessly, and in an overwhelming share of cases, they’ll be lying through their teeth.”  Kluger reports on research that shows the hard truth that most parents do indeed have a favorite. In one study, researchers found that 65% of mothers and 70% of fathers exhibited a preference for one child, usually the older one. Other research shows that kids who feel less loved than their siblings are more likely to develop anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. “Not all experts agree on just what the impact of favoritism is,” Kluger writes, “but as a rule, their advice to parents is simple: If you absolutely must have a favorite (and you must), keep it to yourself.”  To read the rest of the article click here.

Do you agree with this article ? Do you favor one child over the other ?
