Line 14:
On the other hand, a family like this may be perfectly happy if each child is content to be one parent's favourite. And - [[Truth in Television|as so often happens]] - the children may well be closer to each other than to ''either'' parent.
 
The most common stereotype is a [[Daddy's Girl]] and a [[Momma's Boy]]. A common variation, especially if both siblings are the same gender, is for [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|the tougher or "manlier" one]] to be [[Like Father, Like Son|closer to the dad]], and [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|the more sensitive or "girlier" one]] to be [[Momma's Boy|closer to the mom]].

* ''[[Heroes (TV)|Heroes]]'':
** According to Mama Petrelli, Nathan [[Like Father, Like Son|takes after his father]] but Peter [[Momma's Boy|was always her favourite]]. Of course, Mama Petrelli's a [[Manipulative Bastard|lying bitch]] who [[Person of Mass Destruction|wanted Peter to explode]], and her husband's a [[Big Bad|complete monster]] who [[Offing the Offspring|tried to have Nathan murdered]]. Clearly favouritism is a relative thing among the Petrellis.
** Hiro and his sister take after their mother and father, respectively. They have a lot of tension when it comes to Hiro's hero-ing vs. running the company.
* ''[[That 70s Show (TV)|That 70s Show]]'': Red makes no secret of his preference for Laurie, while Kitty is subtler about her favoritism toward Eric.
