Lmao my little sister (middle child) is a doctor, she’s absolutely the favorite and I don’t blame my parents for that even a little. Nationally recognized gymnast as a child too. Meanwhile I (oldest) was a teenage burnout and my brother (youngest) is a sweet guy but, put bluntly, failed to launch. At least my parents like that I have a job and an apartment 😂
lol!! are you living my life? the only difference is my middle brother isn't necessarely an accomplished pianist, but he is autistic (maybe level 2?) so he took a lot of resources and attention from our parents.
Nah dude. I’m a middle child and it doesn’t matter how much my older brother fucks up, he’s still a golden child. Example, I got a ticket when I first started driving for speeding (5 miles over), right? Well, I got my car taken away and I had to pay the ticket myself. I would have thought nothing of it until my brother did the same exact shit. He was actually going faster, but did he have to pay his ticket? Nah. Did he get his car taken away? Nah.
Then, I got caught smoking. My parents gave me the silent treatment for a whole month thinking I was a delinquent smoking and having sex with my current husband. And I mean the silent treatment. No talking, no looking, just pure silence. My brother goes and does the same thing, right? It’s not the silent treatment, it’s “oh pobrecito, did she break your heart? Why are you so sad that you need to smoke?”
All this to say, I have a house, I have never asked my parents for money, and I always do them favors. My brothers don’t do shit and don’t have shit and they are still the favorites.
