The comparison I most
often see in polyamory circles is how a parent can love more than one child. No one questions this. You might appreciate different things about each child or have a different sort of relationship with each, but most people recognize that you can genuinely love all of them and not necessarily have a favorite.
Now that is interesting. I only have one child so there is no competition but I'm one of three and my parents do have favourites. I've seen it in ex partners with siblings too and friends. I suspect parents having favourites is actually pretty common.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen. Just that people generally understand that you may not have a "favorite" (unless they're projecting), or that you don't still love your other kids desperately even if you do have a favorite, or that you should only have one child because you can only truly love one.
