When we read about the perushim of Yaakov and Esav, we learned that Yizchak and Sarah made a mistake in the way they treated their kids. Instead of giving them the attention they needed, they treated them both the same way. We know nowadays that this is not the right way to bring up children since each child has different weaknesses that need to be focused on and therefore must be given harsher parenting in some aspects.
Some say that this is the reason Esav turned out to be this black sheep because he was not brought up correctly. Could this teach us the importance of parenting? Or is this just an unfair factor of life?
It is also known that the parents favored their children, Yizchak liked Esav while Rachel liked Yaakov which shows another weakness of their parenting since it should have not been obvious that they each liked one better.
