Favourite Child
Rebecca Abrams, Bidisha and David Akinsanya join Dominic Arkwright to discuss favourite children within the family. From November 2010.
Who was the favourite in your family, and do you have one amongst your own children?
It's the great taboo.
Dominic Arkwright is joined by Rebecca Abrams, who bravely admits that she found it hard to love her first child after her second child was born.
David Akinsanya grew up in care, aware that he was nobody's favourite child.
And Bidisha has always known she is the most favoured.
Why is it that even as adults it matters so much?
More new writing and honest, revealing talk
