It's Mother's Day - but are you your Mum's favourite child?

from Weekend One on One

It’s Mothers Day… and while they may not admit it, research shows that Mums DO have favourite children – usually, not intentionally. Mothers also identify the children they have the most conflict with and with whom they are the most disappointed. However, it turns out that adult children are very bad at determining who the favorite child is, and are correct less than half the time. In this episode of Weekend one on one, we hear from Professor Jill Suitor, who’s been carrying out the research – she’s professor of sociology and an affiliate of the Center on Aging in the Life Course at Purdue University in Indiana in the United States.
