00:00I feel that at the moment, Albie is my favourite because he's had, you know, he's had me for
00:05five years and also he knows how to, you know, he's just a very charming kid and we have
00:10a lot in common.
00:11Now listen, I'm going to bring in some viewer messages at this point because, you know,
00:14people have been reacting to this, so I'm going to put one of these here.
00:16How about they just, yeah.
00:17Wanderar says, I like them better to you.
00:19What kind of message is that to give your grandchildren?
00:21If my parents said that, I wouldn't bring the kids around to see them.
00:24If you do have a favourite, keep it to yourself for the sake of the kids.
00:27Yes, but you have...
00:28And what does your family, what do they make of it?
00:30No, I don't say to Albie, you're my favourite.
00:31Well, I actually might do because they've had a little baby, they've got another baby,
00:37so they've got a bigger brother and a little brother.
00:39So when Albie is sort of sandwiched in the middle, so obviously you want to make him
00:43feel a little bit special.
00:45And also the other one has got, well, what if they'd have a favourite grandparent?
00:49Have you ever thought of that?
00:51Yeah.
00:52Yeah.
00:53But I don't, I really don't believe you.
00:55I do not think that you are the kind of woman that would put one child against another.
01:01Not against another.
01:02No.
01:03Hang on.
01:04Raoul on X says, it gets the others behaving themselves for fear of losing out on the inheritance.
01:11They don't...
01:12Whoa, that's what it's all about, isn't it?
01:14No, it's not.
01:15But it's very funny because my eldest grandson, I asked him, you know, a GoHenry account,
01:19but the little one, the five-year-old, I give him little pound coins.
01:23So he thinks he's got more money, but the other one gets it in the other account.
01:27Do you see what I mean?
01:28So it works out in sort of ways.
01:30This is really...
01:31Yeah, no, I...
01:32What do you think?
01:33Why are you so confused?
01:34It's sort of manipulating.
01:35Me?
01:36Yeah.
01:37Manipulating my grandchildren?
