lol - THE CRUMB!!! ahhh parental preference, pretty sure this happens to all of us! i’d say it’s a phase except my 13yr old still does it (at least now I can say it’s 100% manipulation/divide-and-conquer) but for our 5yr old it’s not and we just roll with it, honestly i think we both enjoy the break whenever the other one is the favourite! “oh only daddy can brush your teeth, ok, I agree - he is a very talented teeth brusher!” good luck out there, mama! parenting is not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure!

Threats and bribes, that is what my parenting has boiled down to 🫣🫠🤔
