If you don't know who your parent's favorite child is, it's probably you.

Because I guarantee you the other siblings know exactly who the "favorite" or "golden" child is.

This seems to be a dirty little secret that everyone has been afraid to admit.

Now, the lid has been blown clean off.

New research out this week is revealing the ugly, ugly truth.

If you are an only child, yet you still aren't the favorite, that's just sad.

Most only children should be able to sit this one out.

The research shows that the fave kid is typically not the boy.

How about that? In most cases, it's the girl.

According to the good folks at the American Psychological Association, the favorite son or daughter has something in common across all families.

They are usually the child who is agreeable according to the research.

This can be very dangerous for children.

Treatment that differs from one sibling to another can leave lasting scars that often never heal.

Come on, who doesn't know that Kylie Jenner is Kris Jenner's favorite child?

She's even admitted it on that monstrosity of a hit show, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians".

It also seems that the youngest child wins this award most of the time.

The researchers determined that favoritism is usually tied to birth order, gender, and personality traits.

The investigators also found that Alabama, along with a few other Southern states, leads the country in parental favoritism.

The bottom line was the child deemed most responsible and organized was given the "favorite" crown in the family.
