I'm the middle child i don't really get along with my mom every time i try to start a conversation with her it end up in a huge fight! my oldest sister is the good daughter I'm always being compared to her for everything! yeah i know i have a little bit of a temper and so does my mom that's probably why we don't get along! and every time something bad happens its somehow my fault even if i wasn't there or clueless of the situation! are you the bad daughter? are you always being compared too your siblings? doest it make you boil??? :/

I think I'm a good one.^_^ I'm the eldest and the only girl. Being the eldest means much more responsibilities at hand. I also don't like it when people compare me with somebody else. Why do that?! Can't they see that we're merely different?!

lucky! lol! its true being the oldest does have more responsibility! im the oldest in the house right now since my older sister and brother already moved out! now im the one taking care of my two little sisters! and even after my sister moved out im still hearing her name every single day when im being compared to her! i think comparing people is stupid because its true we are all diffrent and thats what make you , you! am i right?

I think the best thing you can do when you're being compared is to just improve on yourself and enhance your abilities and I bet sooner they'll realize that you need not to be compared with anyone else. :) I've been there too, and I tell you, jealousy and hate doesn't really solve anything. So I focused on myself and thank God my mom has been proud of me now. :)

I admit I used to be a bad daughter, but sooner I realized that being one doesn't benefit me nor does make me a better one than my other sibling. And I also don't want it to happen to me when I become a parent that's why I've decided for myself to be a good daughter to my mom as much as I can. I know I'm still inevitable to commit mistakes sometimes, but I try as much as possible to be more honest with my mom and being so made me much closer to my mom than before. :)It's really great to be closer to your mom and that's one thing I'm really proud of.

its not that my sister is smarter or better than me! its the relationship my mom and my sister have their really close my sister calls her every day and they can talk for hours! and im not jealous of that its just that if i dont wanna tell my mos something or help her out with something or hear her dumb boring stories she'll star with "well lynder always.....(blah blah blah)" (thats my sisters name lynder) and its just annoying! i cant stand my mom! but i love her and i know she loves me! i dont hate my sister, her and i get along very well, sometimes we hang out on the weekends!

I am the bad daughter.. I felt what you feel now. I am the eldest.. When I was in my high school years.. I was always compared with my brother. My brother is intelligent, I am not.. My mother loves my brother more than me. I tried my best during my exams before, but still she will not prepare hot milk to me not like she prepare for my brother. I studied hard and graduated first. I worked as a teacher. I saved my money. and after a year, I got married with a man who was well off.. Now, I am financially secure. But my brother was not. He got married early. had a baby, with a minimum salary. What I'm trying to emphasize here is that, never let this situation put you down. make it as a challenge.. Be successful, try your best.. I know your mother loves you. Someday, she will be proud of you
