If you have siblings, were you treated equally as a child?

In my opinion, I wasn't treated equally. Now ask my mother and she'll tell you that I was. I don't put much stock in what she says on this subject because she was an only child so she wouldn't be able to relate.

I was not treated fairly.. i am the oldest in the whole family ( both sides ) and I was often nominated to babysit for all of the younger ones against my will.. without anyone asking me if I had anything I would rather do.. so that sucked... now that im older though I dont hate anyone for it.. but I look at my little sister and brother ( now grown ) and cousins getting to do whatever they want and it makes me think about all the things I missed out on becuase I was held to more responsiblilties than most kids my age..

I am the youngest in the family by 17yrs so my brother and sisters were all grown up when i was born, i got spoilt rotten by all of them, my parents always brought me great presents because they always said they didnt know if they would be alive when i got older, i am glad to say i am now 41 and they are both in their 80's and still alive and going strong.

well, my sister is 6 years older than me...and my stepbrother never lived with us. i would say that the way my mom raised me and my sister were not equal, but that has a lot to do with circumstances. when my sister was growing up, my mom was a new immigrant trying to learn the language and make ends meet working 3 jobs. my mom was an only parent when my sister was still here, but she re-married when i was 10, so she had the help of my stepdad with me. we were in a bad financial situation when my sister was growing up but with my stepdad's income, things got a lot better. i got a lot more opportunities than my sister did, which she still thinks is unfair..but it wasnt necessarily my mom's fault.

I am th oldest of four children. I do not feel like I was treated fairly because I got in a lot of trouble for "not knowing better". When ever one of my siblings did something wrong, my name was the one that my father yelled first. When he found out that whatever the problem was was not my fault I still got in trouble because I was old enough to know better and stop the younger ones from being bad.
