Does your parent have a favourite child?

0:00
[Music]
0:04
already cancelled already canell already
0:07
canell I feel like K is like the older
0:09
brother and I feel like YZ is the
0:11
younger brother for sure happy with that
0:14
I me I only know being the younger
0:16
brother do you have only older brothers
0:18
mhm I'm the youngest I'm a baby that
0:20
makes so much sense but I'm like the
0:22
baby are you the youngest brother are
0:23
you the old I'm middle I'm the middle
0:26
kid yeah you're the one that's forgotten
0:28
about e no oh yeah now I'm actually
0:30
starting to realize yeah I am the one
0:31
that was forgotten about but I always
0:32
thought I was The Golden
0:35
Child really yeah oh we should have this
0:38
chat about child syndrome young child
0:41
middle child and older well you only
0:44
have one sibling yeah I was youngest
0:46
that's so small for family the youngest
0:48
100% is always treated um the best ah no
0:54
you know what I think the eldest you
0:57
know I I think the eldest
1:00
are we recording this yeah this is all
1:02
rolling right now I was going to say I
1:04
think it also depends on whether the
1:07
eldest is a boy or a girl what do you
1:10
mean so I've seen I've seen um with my
1:13
own family my sister being the eldest um
1:16
sibling she is the favorite whether you
1:19
like it or not she'll all she's the
1:20
eldest and she's a female every and
1:23
she's a female if she was male n
1:26
definitely not the the favorite I would
1:28
be the favorite I feel like okay that's
1:29
very interesting I feel like the oldest
1:31
sibling is the one that has to go
1:33
through all the hardships in the family
1:36
because they're literally the guinea pig
1:38
of like what works and what doesn't work
1:40
so they have to go through like they
1:41
basically the ones that open the the
1:44
pathway for the the future kids to come
1:46
through and do whatever whatever they
1:47
want what it is is that the oldest the
1:50
oldest is the uh one that the parents
1:52
grow with the other kids are the ones
1:54
that the parents
1:56
raise oh interesting that's a good way
1:58
to look at it m that's that's
2:01
fascinating but I feel like but no but I
2:04
feel well yeah okay I get that but I
2:05
also feel like the older one gets the
2:07
most punished right like no because you
2:09
said not punished but you you have
2:11
expect you have uh yeah expectation or
2:13
respons like they have a responsibility
2:15
to set an example yeah exactly cuz I
2:17
feel like when parents first have kids
2:18
they want to do everything by the book
2:20
like you have to make sure you do get
2:22
this degree and you have to make sure
2:23
that you blah blah blah blah and kids
2:27
over it by the four yeah yeah she's got
2:29
a she's got but here's the difference
2:30
between myself and and for example my
2:32
brothers right my sister was always a
2:33
golden child she was very like you know
2:35
the only girl only girl she was always
2:37
you know um sticking to the rules blah
2:39
blah blah I don't think she ever did
2:40
anything that she shouldn't have done um
2:42
but then my brothers came along right
2:45
and it was like they would they would do
2:48
things against what my parents wished
2:51
right but they'd hide it from them right
2:53
so for example my brothers would get
2:54
earrings okay and then you'd see them
2:56
throughout all of Summer wearing a
2:57
beanie covering their ears right
3:01
me on the other hand dad what I'm
3:03
getting earrings no you're not not
3:05
asking for your permission and then I'd
3:06
leave the house you could do that to
3:08
your parents well I did they weren't
3:11
happy they weren't happy with it aren't
3:13
your parents like are they like very
3:15
cultural like very are they religious as
3:18
well yeah extremely yeah and and they
3:20
were cool for you to just no they
3:22
weren't cool they weren't cool with the
3:23
difference was I didn't care about it's
3:25
like you know what you already dealt
3:26
with this with my brothers I'm just the
3:28
third like so for example my my brother
3:32
that's on top of me so not my oldest
3:34
brother Middle Brother um he got a tatto
3:38
on his back right a big tatto on his
3:40
back right he hit hit it from my dad for
3:42
10 years 10 10 years me I got I got my
3:46
first ttoo and I went dad and he's like
3:48
what and I
3:49
went and I showed him didn't you get
3:51
reprimanded though like what was what
3:53
was the punish I just didn't care oh
3:55
what do you mean did you get in trouble
3:57
like was it like you got grounding or
3:59
you got no there's no such thing as
4:00
grounding in in I was trying you get
4:03
belted yeah that's what I'm saying you
4:04
get beled not for this stuff no no no I
4:06
get belted for being a piece of [ __ ] kid
4:09
that's why i' get belted and you're the
4:10
youngest I'm the youngest but here's the
4:12
thing here's the thing here's the thing
4:13
here's the thing right up until my
4:15
latest tattoos which I got three months
4:17
ago which is like this one this one and
4:19
this one yeah right three months
4:21
ago I had 15 tattoos before this my dad
4:25
didn't speak to me for 3 months three
4:28
months yes and he's said specifically
4:30
because you got the tattoos so he looked
4:32
at goes they knew I said yeah we
4:34
bickered for a bit and then he just even
4:37
though it has religious like quotes he
4:39
doesn't care he doesn't care it's it's
4:41
and family traditional quotes stuff
4:43
there yeah I got my mom's reaction when
4:45
I like I'm I'm 30 and I got my tattooo
4:48
maybe when I was 28 and I was still
4:50
scared to show my mom that I got a
4:51
tattooo and then I remember showing it
4:53
to we have a reaction of FaceTime and it
4:54
says trust the process and she was like
4:58
why would you get instructions on your
5:00
hand like so like what's wrong with you
5:04
and does your brother have tattoos no he
5:06
doesn't have tattoos okay so she so so
5:08
hold on are you are you the golden would
5:10
you say that you're The Golden Child I
5:12
think my parents just I'm so
5:15
lovable oh my God to be honest I think
5:18
my just like I'm very both my brother
5:21
and I are very close to my parents right
5:22
like cuz we didn't really have much
5:24
extended family it was just the direct
5:25
family we grew up you know uh we moved
5:27
to camber we moved around and whatever
5:29
but we were both very close but my
5:31
brother like he did everything by the
5:33
book like he got the job he was very
5:36
naughty by the way like he had he hung
5:38
out with a bit of hooligans and stuff
5:39
going up but I feel like Hooligans of
5:42
CA running the streets guess or the
5:45
streets planting trees yeah but he was
5:48
cleaning up the
5:49
mess doing a degree no but he was he was
5:53
good like he he he got a degree he's got
5:54
his own like company now he then there
5:57
was me who was a bit of like the black
5:59
she of the family in the sense that
6:00
that's racist but yeah oh okay are you
6:02
darker than your brother no what I mean
6:04
okay fine maybe what I mean by that is
6:06
like I I was a bit like you know the
6:08
drama kid I wanted to do the Creative
6:10
Arts and I wanted to be an actress and I
6:13
wanted to be a musician and I remember
6:15
deferring my degree to do Secret
6:17
auditions and my parents like we can't
6:19
control this kid but they now like with
6:24
everything I'm doing now my parents are
6:26
like very proud and like you know good
6:27
on you for doing that but it took for
6:29
them to understand like all the crazy
6:31
things I was doing but in terms of
6:33
favorite child I think I'm the favorite
6:35
Child but I'm sure if you ask my brother
6:36
he will think he's a favorite child so I
6:38
think it's one of those things do you
6:39
think it's ever justifiable for a parent
6:41
to treat each child differently I think
6:45
that's natural yes right so you treat
6:48
the fa like you treat the the old the
6:50
older child differently to the other
6:52
siblings wouldn't you well I'm pretty
6:53
sure the other siblings are probably
6:55
treating the parents differently right I
6:57
think it's natural they're all
6:58
individuals at the end of the day I
6:59
don't I think you should have a favorite
7:01
kid is that a thing do you have a
7:02
favorite kid Ken no yeah see I don't I
7:04
don't think
7:05
you on this but dude whether you like it
7:09
or not and I've asked this multiple
7:11
times every parent has a favorite child
7:13
they just will not admit it no I don't I
7:15
I I genuinely don't I love them both for
7:17
the same reason and different re yeah I
7:19
believe that I believe that there's
7:21
always a favorite child they both give
7:22
me the best cuddles and they both hug my
7:25
head I love having my head head hugged I
7:27
I don't think it's favorite I think what
7:29
you're trying say is there's one child
7:30
that might be just more obedient and so
7:34
you no not obedient I think it's one if
7:37
anything is one child that you you
7:39
connect with more in that present time
7:41
for example lla she's a bit older I can
7:43
hold conversations easy we she's you
7:45
know close to fully conversating with
7:47
you so it's different I mean as you get
7:50
older I have an experience as a you know
7:53
both of them can talk and all that stuff
7:55
but you can pick up which which child
7:56
would talk more which child would would
7:58
give more
8:00
um which child's more nurturing which
8:01
you know which which child you connect
8:03
more with but that doesn't Define it as
8:05
favorite that just defines it as a
8:06
different relationship but you love them
8:08
equally and in different ways at the
8:10
same time do you guys want a quick study
8:12
a quick study that was done regardless
8:15
of the reason some research shows that
8:16
many parents almost certainly do have a
8:18
favorite child I I couldn't pick I
8:20
couldn't I think maybe you know maybe
8:23
it's too early on maybe uh whether they
8:24
admit it or not uh this study has shown
8:28
that up to 74% of mothers and 70% of
8:30
fathers have shown to exhibit uh
8:33
preferred treatment towards one child
8:35
wow that's awful that's awful I I think
8:38
that that would be I think the gener
8:39
like our generation down would have a
8:42
very different way of parenting I think
8:43
it's very similar to me and my cats
8:46
right one of them is really sweet to me
8:48
the other one's a [ __ ] so I'm a bit more
8:50
[ __ ] to the one that but you treat it
8:52
as as it treats you I still feed it and
8:55
[ __ ] yeah so you still got to do
8:56
everything equally but there's some
8:58
certain things that you would do
8:59
differently with one cat to the other so
9:02
like I'd walk in and I'd be like I'd be
9:04
like oh hello BW and I'd like give him a
9:06
nice little Pat and scratch under the
9:08
thing you wouldn't say hi you just say
9:09
Bubbles and then I look at Bubbles and I
9:11
go hello you and he I'll give him a nice
9:14
little Pat and I scratch yeah but he's
9:16
he's growing he's growing to uh he's
9:18
becoming more affection he's becoming
9:19
more affection he's learning in your
9:21
family talking about cats who do you
9:23
think's your favorite child in your
9:25
family like out your my parents my
9:27
sister oh so yeah you did say that
9:28
actually but then again my sister also
9:30
didn't put my parents through [ __ ]
9:31
hell all the boys did would you say out
9:33
of the boys how many are there three
9:35
three you're included in one you're
9:37
you're included as one of the as one of
9:39
the boys yes yeah I'm I'm sure right let
9:40
me just check just want to double check
9:42
yeah yeah I'm included as one of the
9:43
boys yeah but you know you could say
9:44
there's three boys are yeah and me as
9:46
well so there's four but there's three
9:47
all together yeah three all together
9:49
okay we just wanted to get the the
9:50
numbers correct uh out of the three
9:52
would you say you're the top favorite or
9:54
like no we're all as um equally [ __ ]
9:56
as each other 100% yeah it's kind of
9:59
like like that with us boys yeah no my
10:00
sister my sister didn't put my parents
10:01
through um hardship but I feel like the
10:04
boys did were very rebellious see I'm
10:06
still so shocked though that like you
10:08
had the the balls to basically go get
10:12
like tattoos and stuff I've just I've
10:14
just never cared yeah because it's it's
10:16
it's like people fear their parents and
10:18
then people go uh what are they going to
10:20
do I still remember getting like a b
10:22
belly butt and piercing and I did it
10:24
behind my like parents' back and I and I
10:26
think subconsciously I got really like
10:29
my head about it and I have you have a
10:30
belly piercing I used to like years ago
10:33
no was it was really unfortunate though
10:35
because by the third day like I got it
10:38
for I had it for 3 Days um and on the
10:40
third day I was playing I don't know if
10:43
I want to share this story you have know
10:45
I was playing with the with the belly
10:47
with the actual ring ring and I was in
10:49
the gym toilet and I was playing with
10:51
the ring like I was just looking at it
10:52
right it fell in the toilet it fell in
10:53
the toilet it was on a Sunday and
10:55
everything was I think closed was camera
10:57
what a shitty situation then yeah but I
10:59
think like honestly you go that's a sign
11:02
I shouldn't have it yeah basically
11:03
because on the second day my mom found
11:04
out anyway so I hit it for her for a day
11:07
second day I was having conversation
11:09
with my mom and I don't know for
11:09
whatever reason I was
11:11
like and like she saw my belly button
11:14
piercing yeah I don't know how that even
11:16
happened but she did and then she was
11:17
like do you oh and she was very upset do
11:21
you know what was the worst thing I
11:23
think that I had done at a young age
11:25
what my dad was just like and my mom
11:27
both they were like what the [ __ ] is
11:29
wrong with this kid wasn't even that bad
11:31
but in their eyes it's like what the
11:32
[ __ ] mhm I had a eyebrow piecing yeah I
11:36
had one too yeah which side what are you
11:39
laughing at which side left or right
11:40
left yeah left left but mine was
11:42
different mine didn't mine wasn't the
11:43
traditional through here mine was
11:45
sideways so so through here why did you
11:48
get a sideways he want to be different I
11:49
just want to be different it looked
11:50
really good I'll show you a photo yeah
11:51
it looked [ __ ] great why did you take
11:53
it
11:54
off I don't know I think I just over
11:56
like it just became like who the [ __ ]
11:57
has eyebrow Rings anymore yeah I don't
11:59
see that many seen and iing in ages yeah
12:01
they're not really a thing anymore I
12:02
might get I might get it again so you
12:04
can be different again yeah transend
12:07
Setter um but yeah my parents were like
12:10
this kid has lost his [ __ ] mind like
12:13
it's it's it's the equivalent of like me
12:14
getting a t on my face right now yeah
12:16
yeah take it out and it goes true the
12:19
worst thing I did was year seven we
12:23
organized someone's older brother to buy
12:25
alcohol for us yeah we went to our
12:27
friends I went to our friends house how
12:29
old were you year seven what the [ __ ] 12
12:32
years old hell yeah that is Young and
12:35
then we we all started drinking at this
12:37
party this was the end of year s so it
12:39
was on holidays was like a like last day
12:41
or the day after our last day of school
12:43
yeah and it was all the boys and we
12:44
obvious and we got Blue Vodka Cruisers
12:47
so we're all drinking had a barbecue all
12:49
drinking at my mate's house and his mom
12:51
was a teacher and you know teachers have
12:52
that instinct that these boys are up to
12:54
trouble yeah so as we were all getting
12:57
smashed we were downstairs and his mom
12:59
walks downstairs and I'm halfway through
13:02
chugging chugging a vodka Cruiser and I
13:06
and I Look to her and she goes what's
13:09
that and I'm
13:10
like it's a v i said it's a V and she
13:13
goes no that's not a v what color was it
13:15
blue right so it's a blue bottle clearly
13:18
said V she came over and she grabbed it
13:20
and all and then and then all the boys
13:22
started packing all the bead all the
13:24
bottles sorry in my bag and I'm like
13:26
hell [ __ ] what are he's doing anyhow she
13:30
then contacted all the parents oh what a
13:32
snitch and then said this is what was
13:33
happening what a snitch and then we came
13:35
up with a lie and said we found the case
13:38
in the bush when we went for a bushw
13:40
walk earlier that day we thought we'd
13:42
bring it home and drink it and then that
13:44
was like the worst thing I did at that
13:46
age that my parents know about and uh I
13:50
uh got a book for Christmas I wish I was
13:53
I wish I was I got a book for Christmas
13:54
and it wasn't even a good book it was a
13:56
[ __ ] book you remember what book it was
13:58
it was like some some fantasy story I
14:00
used to love getting books for Christmas
14:01
that's weird but you know like in that
14:03
in that situation K that you were in
14:04
where the the M snitched and [ __ ] right
14:07
do you think if you were a bit smarter
14:08
as a kid and you knew that you could
14:11
have leverage right I'm this is going to
14:12
sound so [ __ ] up right but like
14:15
imagine she's like oh did she tell you
14:16
I'm going to go tell your parents blah
14:18
blah blah yeah all of us she say I'm
14:20
call imagine you just walked up to her
14:22
and you went yeah well I'll tell my
14:24
parents you touched me
14:26
inappropriately like imagine you had no
14:29
seriously imagine you had that why does
14:30
your brain go there because you know
14:32
what I realized growing up I actually
14:34
had so much [ __ ] power as a kid and I
14:36
never used it like even at school even
14:39
at school imagine my principal which is
14:40
pretty [ __ ] up because one of the
14:41
principles at my school actually got
14:43
done for molesting children but [ __ ] he
14:45
wasn't my principal was like when we
14:47
left and graduated it was the same
14:48
school is he in jail now yeah he's
14:49
[ __ ] locked up for Life piece of [ __ ]
14:51
maybe not for life I don't know how this
14:52
D system is but whatever um yeah like
14:55
imagine just being at school and the
14:57
teacher's like about to [ __ ] suspend
14:59
you and like I'm calling your parents
15:00
blah blah blah it's like yeah that's fun
15:01
you touched me in the bathrooms the
15:02
other day and he'll be like what you'll
15:05
be like yeah yeah but that's so bad I
15:08
know ruin someone's life 100% but like
15:10
you had a lot of power as a child yeah
15:12
you don't ever think she would have
15:15
snitched on you guys if you said that to
15:16
her probably not but then yeah but there
15:21
was a lot of what I think of Russell
15:22
Peters somebody's going to get a h
15:24
somebody going to get
15:27
a poor child services on you don't abuse
15:30
that pal though don't abuse that I used
15:32
to have a nose ring too by the way God I
15:34
was cute like my nose
15:36
ring who are you flip it flip it flip it
