Buzz I just watched a Fox News program YouTube feed and before I even heard what “Dr. Ablow” said about you, I told the llittle lady that this so called Doctor doesn’t know the facts, and is mostlikly to call you a bad dad. After I saw the start of your video I knew I was right. How old are your boys? 6 and 3? Of course your fav would be the 6yo. But I think when they are just a few years older they will be equal in your eyes, and the doctor will still be upset. Keep up with your boys and try to teach them to do the right things, it will be hard sometimes but in the end you wil do it and your boys will love you.

I heard you on the radio in Toronto this morning and I totally get where you’re coming from. Maybe it was just worded so a lot of people took it wrong. I have 2 kids, 5 yr old girl, 2 yr old boy. I love them both but I love them differently. My older kid is fun to let stay up on weekends and eat junk food and watch movies with. She’s a great helper at home too and she can hold a decent conversation. My son is my snuggly cuddly boy. They’re different and I love them differently. I think it’s awful that it was taken to such extremes on you. There are so many bloggers, parents and such that flat out say they love one kid more but you took the hit. I say you’re a good dad just trying to navigate through this whole parenting thing. Keep your chin up and you’re doing a good job!

Buzz..
I am a mom of two they have 15 yrs between them. I also grew up in a family where we put the fun in disfunctional. I once accused my mom and dad of loving my sister more than me.. she was the favourite. My mom said something that made me think, “I LOVE ALL my kids the SAME amount unconditionaly but I dont always LIKE you all the same at the same time the same amount. There is no one favourite, you all our favourites at different times and situations. When I caught you sneaking out your bedroom window at 16, not so much my favourite.” I love both my girls, the first one; we grew up together, we have a very different bond. The second she is the surprise, she is the one who keeps us on our toes ALL the time. She is my baby bear and we have a very different bond than me and my first. My oldest for sure my favourite to go shoe shopping with or to have an actual conversation with, the baby I dispise taking shopping, but she is my favourite to play with and to read to and to snuggle with. OMG call child services! I must be a horrible mom. Give me a bloody break. I am so very tired of judgmental, narrow minded, by the lastest yuppy book people, who cant admit to themselves the truth. They let the latest parenting magazine tell them how to think and act. The same people who think that you should have a reasonable conversation with little timmy not to bring a gun to school, “ooohhh hes just expressing himself. He shouldnt have to suffer the same consequences as others, hes special.” okay extreme example, but I believe in honesty, I believe in raising my own kids with my own brain, morals and convictions, to know the difference between right and wrong and to be prepared to deal with the consequences… not what some yuppy *** book or “specailist” tells me. I am sorry but Dr. Phil is a bloody joke! As parents we all end up having regrets, its life. Ask yourself this “Am I a Good daddy/mommy, am I proud of the job I am doing?” If you answer YES than to hell with everyone else.
