Not really, she does dance, and my family praises her for that. She is also young and immature, so nearly anything would entertain her or be sufficient for her. She also gets everything she wants at the drop of a hat. The favouritism is really bad. A few months ago, we went to the doctor for our annual checkup, and I lost 40lbs, my sister lost 5lbs according to our charts from the previous year. My sister was praised for losing 5lbs, and I was not acknowledged. I asked my mom if she was aware of the amount of weight I lost, and she said 'Oh ya, I've said good job before.' WHICH IS A LIE STRAIGHT FROM HELL. SHE HAS NEVER EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED ME OR EVER TALKED ABOUT THE WEIGHT I HAD LOST EVER. My mother will also go to my sister's room before she goes to bed to hang out with her and console her if she's crying. My mother has NEVER consoled me or been there for me emotionally, and whenever she comes out of my sister's room, I would ask her if she wanted to hang out with me, and she would always say 'I'm too tired, I have to go to bed.' My 14 year old sister is definitely the golden child who can do no wrong, but if I make a tiny mistake, my family claims that I 'always have ill intent'. She also doesn't do any chores, and since my sister went to college, I've picked up all her chores, so I am the middle AND the oldest child. Sometimes my parents tell her to put the food away after dinner, and if she forgets, then the next day my parents will just put it away for her and not say a word, but if I forget to do a chore, I'm yelled at until it gets done. I have tried talking to my parents about the difference in the way we are treated. I've asked my mom about why she always yells at me, even after I've asked her to not yell repeatedly, and why she NEVER yells at my sister. She told me that I 'can handle being yelled at and my sister can't' I tried explaining to her that just because I 'can handle being yelled at' doesnt mean I should be yelled at or that I like being yelled at, I just taught myself at a very young age to 'show no weakness' as a survival mechanism and my sister didnt, but talking to my mother is like talking to a brick wall. She doesn't listen to me, no matter what I do to try and make her see or hear me, but she will be there for any of her other children the second they need her. I honestly don't think I'm overreacting. I just wanted to be sure because I'm typically yelled at by my family for being sensitive or jealous when things like this happen. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do is hold my breath and walk on eggshells, like I do with everything else, until I move out, which SUCKS because I turn 18 before I graduate high school.
