Rageable wrote This happens to me a lot man, I feel what you're going through. The reason why parents seem to favor the littler siblings in a family is because, well, they're little. Usually the case is that when parents seem to favor the little siblings in the family, it is because the environment that they grew up in did not favor the little siblings. There are studies that say that sibling "bullying" is worse than any other type of bullying, because it has the most permanent damage on that little sibling that is being bullied, or, just simply look sort of down upon because that little sibling is, well, the little sibling. That happens to be the case with my mom. She had 3 older sisters, and they apparently made her life hell. All the time. And her mom never did anything about it. Now, she always defends my little sister over me even if the argument or the situation is completely wrong for my little sister, and I am 100% correct, and she also gives me sister privileges that I would have NEVER gotten even if I was 5 years older than my sister, I would not come close to those privileges. So that's what it seems like now in your situation. Your younger brother gets certain things because he is the younger one, and whenever you snap off and say something, your parents yell at you. It's because your parents probably never understood being a older sibling, and they don't know what it feels like when something like this happens. They expect you to act like an adult and be mature about it, no matter what it is. They expect you to rub it off, and not worry about it, even if it is very unfair, like your situation. That's why, you just have to prove to them that you are adult-like, but instead of snapping off and saying something right there on the spot, maybe act mature and ask them about 15 minutes later why you have a terrible phone, and that your brother gets a new iPhone 5. I guarantee that you will get a new phone as long as you handle it maturely and be adult like about it.

Hope this helps

Dude no one is going to read that o.o

I read it.



OT : You're older, she expects more from you. Wait about 3 years, she will treat him the same. Also, you're a junior you said, get a job(if you don't have one) and buy your own phone if you want one that badly.

Yeah, im defiantly getting a job this summer, but its not the fact that i want a better one, its the fact she did that for him, and wouldnt do something like that for me when i was his age or now

She loves you a lot Remember that maybe she is teaching you about something further in life and he's getting the easy way out who knows maybe you will get something better but she sounds really ticked but idk man Gl with it I hope it gets better ( don't flip out too hard (
No offence ) but yeah Stay Frothy and ) Be a troll and say Favorites and roll your eyes >

Exactly know how you feel! My mom's a single mom with 3 kids, me being the middle & only boy! I swear I get treated so unfairly. Example...

Last week, my almost 17 year old sister was out with her bf & some other people. She pulls up in a police car & wakes my mom up at 2 a.m. and has a half hour discussion about the things she did and blah blah. There was weed in the car as well as they all lied to the officer to avoid getting in trouble. I loved this news as I thought she'd start actually doing stuff & actually punished for something! (she's super controlling and my mom is afraid of punishing her so she makes me do something my sister says no to)

So she got grounded from her bf for a week! HA. That's all. When she even broke up with him the week before and is using him for his car. Then of course the next day my mom makes me come home to work all day while she is literally laying by the pool tanning! Then I got grounded for saying she's not doing anything... I just wow... Kinda long.

So I feel ya bro!

I am also the middle of 3 siblings (All boys). But yeah, i always try to show her that shes treating me unfairly, and babies my little brother, but she just denies everthing.

-RDR- wrote So today i woke up and walked down stairs to realize my Mom just went out and bought my 13th year old brother a iphone 5! When im going to be a junior in highschool and have a crappy flip phone.

My mom told me it was for my brother, I was just like "seriously, you got him a better phone then me and hes 13th!", guess what she started to laugh. Her laughing made it sound like she got him that just to tick me off. I said to my mom " Screw you", not being serious. She started to flip out on me, and to wrap up the story i broke my phone in anger. (I do have anger problems)

I feel like all the time she is treating him better, and always getting him stuff. Like i had to Buy my own TV, and xbox with money i made, and my brother got his for free, from my mom!

Does anyone else feel the same way sometimes?

How old are you, seems like you're beginning to be an Adult if you have to buy your own stuff.
