But if parental favoritism is so detrimental to kids, then why are so many parents guilty of it? According to experts, it could be out of our control — an evolutionary trait meant to carry on the bloodline.
These ideas are hard to research because parents aren’t likely to admit to parental favoritism, which is why Durante studies where parents divert financial resources. Herhas shown that parents favor girls when the economy is bad and boys when the economy is good. This may be because a successful male can go on to father many more children than a girl, who is limited by the number of babies she can successfully birth.
Rich males throughout history have been motivated to spread their seed. The powerful ancient Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II, who lived in the 13th century, married many times and supposedly yielded over 100 children. Sultan Moulay Ismaïl, who reigned from 1672 to 1727, may have sired over 1,000 children.
Factors like the child’s ambition, intelligence and even health, says Nikiforidis, may play a role in determining which child will be most successful.
