I have a brother and my parents always do thing in favor of him and rarely take me in consideration... Sometimes feel jealous but sometimes its just fine with me. Are you experiencing this too? whether its a yes or a no, what do you think is the best thing that you can do if you are in my shoes?

Think in a positiv way. Anyway nic ques domieniqueer (hw do u lyk to b called ? ans me if u wish)

Actually me and my brother are really close... He doesn't know im a bit jealous though...and i don't have any plan of telling him because i dont want any gap...haha! funny how i complain on the internet when my family doesn't know that i feel like this. Well, i love them...and as long as i can take it, i will...im just trying to be enlightened you know? =)

I think it's common that parents have a favorite child because hey likeness or they obey more than us. If I were in your shoes I will be an obedient daughter and I will be top honor with high grade then my parents will be proud to me.

i did all of that...not boasting but i graduated 2rd honor in elementary and valedictorian for high school. I have good grades during college and i passed the board exam 1 take. i obey every single thing they ask me to do. they decide which university i will go to and what course i will take. i don't know what else to do.

I think you need more bonding to your parents. Treat them sometimes to go to movies or take shopping in the mall.It's you're treat to eat ice cream or Zagu.

we have bonding time. we go out 3 times a month. We get along well...but they don't have any idea how i feel about the favoritism thing. but i can take it. i just want to be enlightened.

I am sorry for you; I cannot understand why your parents should be insensitive to your feelings.Of course no parent would ever agree that they are partial.Only the person on the other end would know how it is. Anyhow, they do have some love for you because they won't be without it for their own child. Regarding how you deal wiht this , I would like to share with you one t hing said by a lawyer friend of mine.He mentioned that most parents, for reasons unknown do attach themselves to a particular child; so he made this a very common thing.THough I consider this unfair , I take solace that there is love on the parents' part for all their children.

My parents always tell us that they don't have favorites in their children. We are all the same to be fair with one another. But they always like praising my brother and I am the one who's always teased and they always point out my mistakes and everything that's bad about me. I sometimes think I'm the favorite, but in a bad way. I feel jealous about my brother too. I just wait for the future that things will change.
