Teen Mom fans on Reddit reposted a recent Kailyn, 30, Instagram Story to the online forum.
The post of her sons was originally being used to garner content for the former MTV star’s Barely Famous podcast.
Kailyn first shared a photo of Lux, five, and captioned the shot, “questions for Lux.”
She then posted a photo of her entire troop, which still included Lux, and captioned that shot “Ask all the kids all the questions for Barely Famous.”
Kailyn has four boys in total, Isaac, 12, Lincoln, eight, Lux, and Creed, two, with rumors of a fifth on the way.
The Reddit post, titled “tell me you have a favorite kid without telling me you have a favorite kid,” depicted a pair of photos showing Kailyn’s sons.
The Redditors noted how Lux appears to be her favorite as he was singled out on the first post, while the other boys were grouped together on the second.
Fans shared their thoughts regarding the disparity of attention shown by Kailyn toward Lux over his brothers.

One person commented: “Kail has already told us this is her favorite.”
Another fan questioned, “Outright?” with the original commenter answering, “I believe her exact words were she’s more attached to him so take that for what you will.”
A third Redditor added, “it’s so unfair to the other sons and so obvious that he’s her favorite.”
While a fourth person wrote: “It’s really gross to be that blatantly more loving towards one of your children. All of her kids will grow up and resent her, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they all go no contact.”
FANS QUESTIONS
“Ask LUX! …… and the others,” jested one fan as others joked about what they’d ask Lux if they submitted a question.
Another person commented, “Hey Lux, are you tired of being exploited yet?”
With a second adding, “Lux, how is it being mommy’s chosen one? Other kids, what’s it like being the not Lux kids?”
A third fan reasoned, “I just think it’s his personality and Isaac and Lincoln are their own [person] at this point.”
While a fourth person wrote: “She only likes Lux more because he’s the one who truly looks biracial. Kali has a fetish.”
“Remember when she said she could see having mixed race kids for ‘aesthetic reasons?'”, chimed a fifth.
The Redditor is referring to when Kailyn shared her opinion as to why she thinks Khloe Kardashian, 38, had a second child with her cheating ex-Tristan Thompson, 31.
One Twitter user’s comment about the pregnancy caught Kailyn’s attention, prompting her to enter the conversation.
The tweet read: “The Kardashians’ obsession with having all their children have the same father despite the father’s ability to be a good partner is so perplexing to me.”
Kailyn responded with her theory of why Khloe decided to expand her family with Tristan, despite his unfaithful past.
“I think it’s about the genes/genetics and the aesthetic but that’s just my opinion,” she tweeted.
LIFE OF LUX
Back on the Reddit thread, one fan mentioned, “She even has a ‘Life of Lux” highlight on IG but no highlight dedicated to any of her other kids,” to support the Lux is the favorite child theory.
On a Teen Mom Reddit board, a fan brought attention to an interesting detail on Kailyn’s Instagram.
When examining the podcaster’s Instagram Highlights, of her four sons Lux is the only one to have a dedicated Highlight feed.
Titled, Life of Lux, the collection of Instagram Stories exclusively shows content about Kailyn’s first child with her ex Chris Lopez, 28.
The Redditor captioned the post: “Lux is [Kail‘s] only child who has his own Instagram highlight…considering how much the internet means to her it has to be a big deal, right?”
More Teen Mom fans rushed to the post’s comment thread to give their take on the favorite child theory.
One person commented: “[Lux] has always been her fav.”
A second fan considered an alternative: “I think it was more to boast that she’s one of Chris’s baby mamas.”
Another Redditor agreed, writing: “Because she’s obsessed with a Chris.”
One fan wrote about the subject in length, commenting: “It’s so sad how she makes sure to let the world know that Lux is her golden child.”
They continued: “Poor Creed is just forgotten about and Issac and Lincoln are just there…I couldn’t imagine living in that house and seeing the favoritism all day, every day. My heart breaks for Issac, Lincoln, and Creed, but also Lux. [As] it will cause riffs with his brothers.”
