Is it normal that my parents like my brother more?

i am a little bit over a year older then my brother, and my parents have always treated him better then me. he has no chores, i have to do all of them. any thing he gets he wants. i tried for months to get my parents to let me have a pet. they said no. my brother has a snake, some fish, a lizard and a turtle. he got the walls in his room hand painted silver and i dont even have a bed frame. he gets lodes of presents for his birthday and i dont even get to have any friends over on mine. ive tried talking with y parents about this and they just ground me for being "un great full". i got all B's on my report card and i was grounded, he failed almost everything and they did not even comment.

is this normal?

    My parents are the same way towards me. They always treat my little sister better! So what I did was move six states away and started my life all over and even made a family of my own. I dont ever call or write to my parents. Im much happier now.

    Just think though since your being raised like this you'll have a sense of responsibility when your older and you will know how to take care of yourself and simply he won't. You'll have a nice family with a house and will be balding living in a low rental apartment.

    It might suck ass right now, but it's true, you will most likely be the much better person. My family was much the same- my brother got away with attempted murder (literally) several times without anyone even blinking. Just try and be a better person then he is and hope that they'll recocnize you, if not, move on.

    Wow that's really sad. Parents shouldn't have a favourite child; they brought you both into this world. You should have a serious talk with them about this, if you haven't already. or like beyoutiful said, write them a letter and explain thoroughly how you feel. Good luck.

    This reminds me of Harry Potter and his bitch cousin Dudley. Having to live at godawful Privet Drive. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: in both the book and the film you got to see how much of a spoiled bitch dudley was! He had it coming to him, he ate Harry's Birthday cake. Hagrid use his umbrella wand on him and gave him a pigs tail and everyone flipped out, but Harry was laughing. Then he went to diagon alley and got his supplies. The rest is history!

    I'm going to miss Harry Potter! Thank you, J.K Rowling for creating one of the greatest stories of all time! You created a masterpiece in a coffee shop! "Wands at your ready!"- professor Lupin & "I open at the close"- the golden snitch.

  • This posting upsets me! I think you sound like an awesome person, but maybe you should really really really sit your parents down and tell them EXACTLY how you feel. Make them listen. Ask them WHY? If they don't want to talk about it ask them WHY they're avoiding this subject? If they still do not respond, tell a close family member of yours. Also, maybe you can write them a letter with well put-together thoughts so they can read it and let it sink in a little more. I wouldn't go to a pastor, I think you should go to a school counselor if all else fails. Don't give up either, and don't let it hurt you. In the end you will be stronger and you're going to find someone who loves you unconditionally. I wish you the best of luck! <3

  • My cousin is the same way, his parents always favoured his older brother, ALWAYS treated him like shit and called him names. Never gave him attention or anything. He's now 19 years old and a druggy, I don't blame him. It's not normal that parents can treat their children like that, yet so many do this. I hope they'll regret it someday the way the treated you.

    Wow! Your parents have a serious favoritism problem. I agree with Mando. You should see if you can get some outside support.
