  • How to Know Your Parents’ Favourite Child

    Are you the chosen?

    Written By:

    So you and your siblings have already established that your parents see y’all as the family’s black sheep. But how do you know for sure who the family’s golden child is?

    We know all the signs to look out for.

    They get the biggest servings

    Your parents will try to justify it by saying they need the most nutrients, especially if they鈥檙e the last born. 

    They always get the benefit of the doubts

    With you, your parents will swear you did that shit. With them, they’ll refrain from making assumptions because there has to be a genuine reason why they did that shit.

    They鈥檙e your parents’ personal adviser

    Your parents rate their opinion AF, and that鈥檚 why they鈥檝e made them the household’s official PA. And low key, you know this because if you need your parents to do shit, you know they鈥檙e the key to making it happen.

    They run the most errands

    We all know sending a child on multiple errands is the love language of Nigerian parents. So if your parents never wake you unprovoked to grab a purse that鈥檚 right beside them, you鈥檙e probably their least favourite child. 

    They snitch

    Your secrets are never safe because they have no issues confessing y’all’s sins, and your parents LOVE them for that shit.聽

    They hardly get scolded

    Even if their sin is as flashy as Joseph鈥檚 coat of many colours, they鈥檒l most likely get a bombastic side eye and a 鈥淲on鈥檛 you come and eat your food?鈥 in rapid succession. 

    Their date of birth is your parents’ password

    What other proof do you need if their D.O.B. is what unlocks laptops and phones or holds the key to their emails? They could have chosen any of y鈥檃ll, but you know, golden child treatment and stuff.
