What does the Bible say about parents or grandparents who exhibit favoritism with their children?
For example, being quick to punish one child, even wrongly, while quick to dismiss the guilt of another. Or, parents that are more apt to listen to the whims and desires of one child, while ignoring the needs or requests of another. In essence, displaying bias either positive or negative towards a child in comparison with siblings.

So with all these examples, was it fair that a parent show favoritism to one over another? In my case being raised by a strict Christian Mother who gave spankings, as the only boy I was spanked much more often then my sisters and for less reason. In the end I feel I'm better for it. My sisters have both made terriable choices in thier Life While I have remained within the Law. But was it fair?
