Self-explanitory....if you have siblings, do you think your parents (or whoever raised you) favored one child over another?
Please comment!!
Who was the favorite? (you?, a younger? or an older? sibling, favor a boy over a girl? etc...)
How did your parents show favoritism?
How do you handle it?
How has it affected you?
My parents admit that they favoured my sister because she was a girl and my brother because he was the youngest. In retrospect, I wasn't really like one of their kids. I was just someone who lived there, like the dog. They let me do my own thing (in fairness to them, my brain went at a million miles an hour, and I don't think anyone could have put up with that for long). I've always existed pretty much independently of my family to the point where nowadays I don't really have a family.
Whether that's because of favouritism or some failing in myself, who knows? It's a complicated situation.
My parents deffinately favoured my brother, he never could do nothing wrong. He was their pride and joy. They kicked me out of the nest when I was fourteen because I was not doing good in school and I was not the type of daughter they wanted; {A girlie girl}; and I turned out to be a Tom-Boy. My brother was a 4.0 student, the personality they liked and had proper manners.<BR><BR>The way I handled it is, I told them at fourteen that they can go and jump into the nearest lake and drowned themselves and have not spoken to them in nearly 42 years and never plan on talking to them. And when my parents croak I will be too busy to attend their funerals.
fuck yes they do. My younger bro doubled majored in engineering/finance, just finished a summer internship at a great company, has traveled to atleast 10 countries now.
Then there is me who is just an average dude tryin to get by.
Based on the American culture and its values they have no choice but to like my bro more than me.
Thank god being a genius and having tons and tons of money doesnt really matter in the bigger scheme of things.
My older sister is always most favorite, so I am angry enough to throw out the first letter of her name:K. She's always hanging around my mom, talking to her, and being extremely helpful for her. Also, at night, when our mom sends us to bed at 8:00 pm, K. always gets to stay up with her. I've been under lots of depression lately, and I think most of it is because of her..and she's just ONE year older than me!!!! Ugh.. Sorry, I forgot that this isn't a “pout” website! Anyway, I don't think I'll ever be able to fix this problem until a handsome, strong, young man comes to carry me away to a beautiful castle..
i KNOW my father favors my little sister!!! i think its cause shes like the baby... every time he know me and my sis are like together hanging out or something like tht he call me, right so i answer and he says : "hi, how are you is your sister around? can i talk to her?"
and im like WTF then call HER! And me and my mo fight like ALOT!! so sometimes im her favorite because in like older and wiser but other times she just cant stand to look at me!! :(
I admit, it's me. I know it.
My older brother has anger problems and is a straight D student with one A. I'm straight A with one B.
I always get more presents on Christmas and my birthday and I got a phone at 13 while he got one at 16.
I definitely have to admit I'm a huge suck up to my parents.
My dad favours me over my brother (he was 3mths old when parents split, I was 2, so dad 'knows' me better or that's his excuse...reality is, he's a prick). He favours my little sister (with his current wife) over me, which is fine by me, only I feel bad for my sister being stuck with him.
My mum favours my brother, presumably subconciously to balance out my dad...though theres a shift now that we're older and my brother ignores her for months at a time.
My grandmother, who raised us, seems to hate my brother a lot of the time. I'm more like her, so while we had a lot of disagreements, I think I fared better with her than my brother did.
Yes...Me! :D
My brother: Stoner, Left school at 16, Got mostly E's on his GCSE's, Deals drugs, Drinks, smokes, is a bad person all round, but can read a book in like 10 minutes.
My sister: Slutty, Extremely self centered, drank, but Got good grades for school though 3 A* 4 A's 3 B's and yeah...
Me: 2 A* 5 A's and the rest B's, Reads, Doesn't smoke. Sixth form. University...Yeah my parents like me :)
Most definitely my mom has 6 kids and favors her two boys . I am a girl by the way. I am in school and i work full time shr could carless. In her dyrs its all about the boys who are much older.ones an alcoholc who cant keep a job or take care of his kids and the other doesnt work and smokes weed all day and they both still live with her!
Yeah, its definitely my sister. My mom jumps at the thought of just a phone call from her. If my mom says shes going somewhere(shopping) and I ask if I can come she gets all pissy and says no. But when its just her and my sister she gets all excited. And if I come too, all hell breaks loose. They end up going off to do there own thing and just disappear on me. I end up spending most of my time wondering where the hell they went. I'm not even joking! Sad but true. Both my father and brother even say she does it. Its been that way for years. I'm the youngest.
My parents constantly reminded me that they love all of us equally. But I don't think they reminded my siblings as often. They must have thought I needed reassurance. I was always the dumb one and so obviously the "bad" child when compared to my brother and sister. But I kind of went out of my way to not be like them.
Ya its me. Well thats what my brothers and sister say. i think its my sister. Shes the only girl and the youngest. Im the Youngest from the guys. She gets wat she wants wen she wants. I use to get wAt i want , do wat i want. now that im 18, everyone is treatin me like adult. I USE TO GET ALLOWENCE NOT ANYMORE . I use to feel like king now im to old. Fuck my life
My mom went back and forth between me and my sister. I was the smarter, less annoying kid. My sister always complained and was always trying to get something from my mom. My brother is 4 years older and doesn't really want the crown as favorite (probably because he knows my sister will throw a fit if not paid attention to).
My family is a little fucked up. I'm the youngest and what seems to be, the most responsible.
