British mum Alisha Tierny-March has caused controversy after admitting on TV that she has a favourite out of her four young children.
Tierny-March is mother to 9-year-old Addison, 7-year-old Harley, 2-year-old Kennedie, and 1-year-old Elijah.
Out of those, the mother has no issue admitting Kennedie is her favourite.
"When Kennediecame along, the other two were in school, so I got those whole six hours together. I breastfed her like I wasn't able to do with my other children," she said on This Morning, much to the dismay of the show's hosts.
The mother went on to admit she has a sort of ranking for her children and before favourite child Kennedie came along, her favourite was her second oldest Harley.
However, she assured the hosts no child gets preferential treatment, even if they're favourites.
Viewers could not believe what they were seeing and took to Twitter to express their "disgust" with some even calling the mother cruel.
No1 has children because it’s easy, so to love the ‘easy child’ is small minded & cruel to the others. All children are different, maybe the others aren’t as easy because they are left out & ‘not the favourite’
She is playing her children against each other, how are they going to be close when their older? This is going to cause a rift. My mum did this and still does this and now as the youngest of 6 most of us don’t get on!
