Favouritism in the family...
 
Do you suffer from it in your family? My youngest sister has always been the favourite. Because of this she is a spoilt brat. She CAN be nice, but most of the time she's a really bitchy bratty girl. Don't get me wrong, she's my sister - I love her! But that doesn't make her any less of a brat.


Anyone else suffer with favouritism in the family?

I'm the black sheep in the family and my older sis/bros are pulling me down

That really sucks. They shouldn't compare you as lower to him!

You can't always be perfect, you're human, you make mistakes. It's okay.

that's one of the first time's i've heard that about my grades, it's either teachers always saying "you're smart you can do better" or getting grounded for having bad grades... and i'm only failing ONE class... i have Ds in a lot though... stupid 7 point scale.

tigerangel 04-04-2007 02:47 PM

I am the youngest and the only girl with five older brothers.
I had no choice but to be pegged as the "spoiled brat" when we were growing up.
It wasn't my fault that I was the only girl.

Ebil 04-04-2007 02:48 PM

The human beings in the family are all treated pretty equally, and we all know our places ...and that the dogs are everyone's favourites xD
There's never been much competition between my sister and myself for our parents attention as we've both been treated the same as far as I can see. Plus we get on really well together so we don't really see each other as rivals or anything, so there's no need for either of us to feel any kind of jealousy.

Mistakes are meant to be learnt from. If you don't try, you don't make mistakes = you can't really experience & learn. So don't worry.

My family favours me because my sister whines a lot and always wants attention. She's always trying to do attnetino grabbing things as well, and sometimes hides things from the family. I think she should be open to more privileges though.

Like I was able to stay home alone at 10 while she's 14 and still can't.

I was allowed to take the subway/train to places with my friends anytime alone at 11 while she's 14 and still can't.

They question her every decision while leave mine alone.

Obviously, my parents trust me more than her and it seems kind of unfair. >_>'

My father definitely favors me, and my brother is definitely favored by my mother... so I guess it balances out. It does, however, lead to a lot of unfriendly and painful competition between me and my brother and we've never really gotten along, though like good siblings we love and are proud of each other, etc. etc. We'd just die before saying it to the other's face. 8D

I think we're both often convinced that the other is the "favorite" when the case is really that my brother and my mom are very like, and me and my dad are very alike, so we understand one another better.

GainaSpirit 04-04-2007 03:00 PM

I don't think I have any in my family ^^ Well, everyone says I'm my father's daughter and my brother is my mother's son. But, I don't think they really have a fav

sychobunny 04-04-2007 03:05 PM

I'm an only child- so I never personally experienced family favoritism. I do see a bad case of it with my cousins though. My younger cousin can do no wrong in his mother's eyes. So even if its his fault, my older cousin still gets in trouble. I feel so bad for him. Now I have a favored cousin- and I feel dirty playing favorites.

Melancholy 04-04-2007 03:17 PM

Well, i'm the middle child of three sisters, so lets just say my older sister gets more attention as shes going to college and my little sister gets more attention caus shes cute. xD

and oh man, you wouldn't believe what my aunt said to me when we last went to visit her, she was a little drunk granted, but she said "you do know we love your sister more as shes the first child?" and then they kept blabbering on about how great she was the whole night.

it doesn't really bother me that much i guess, my family are kind of weird anyway. 8)

Sethirius 04-04-2007 03:22 PM

Obviously I'm the favorite. :D

OK, not really. Well, I'm my dad's favorite. But my mom favors my sister... and it's a bit of a running gag in our family... so it's all good really.

Though at the moment my sister's son is probably the ultimate favorite at the moment. >3>;;

I don't mind, since I tend to lock myself in my room to avoid everyone anyway. xP

That would bother me.

You would think, but i've kind of got used to over the years being overshadowed by my sister.

I don't know, i mean sometimes i guess it makes me feel really depressed and worthless, but then i guess i remind myself that we're different people, and if people can't appreciate that then i guess thats their problem. :/

When you walk in our house you'll see 18 pictures of my older brother, 21 of my sister, and five of me.

Including family pictures, where I'm not the only one in them. There are only two pictures of just me alone.

:?

My older sister was Prom Queen, my brother is Track star and Football God.

And I'm the weird artsy girl that likes anime and sewing, that can't pick up her room, and reads all day.

Balthier 04-04-2007 03:46 PM

I suffer from the same little sister is a brat thing. My parents were both jocks in high school. My sister is a huge jock as well. Proud daughter of a man who was star quarterback and a mom who was head cheerleader.

I am a huge nerd... they just don't like me as much. :P My grandmother favoured her too.

    i'm the outcast. T_T
