I have a twin sister, and we are 2 minutes apart at birth, me being the eldest. My mom has always stressed to us that favoritism is highly inappropriate and rejected in a parent-child relationship, her being a victim of favoritism herself. But currently, I feel that secretly, my mom favors my sister more, and a lot of times I feel invisible to her. She rarely has time to listen and value my opinion on things, and this has caused us to grow apart.... What can I do to make my mom see and understand how I feel?
Thank you. =)

it makes perfect sence that she would stress it so much because when people subconsciously feel that they are doing something wrong, they try to compnsate my saying and doing things that indicate the opposite of how they feel. so your mom makes it sound like she opposes favoritism because deep inside she knows that she is doing it and she feels guilty.
maybe if you and your twin are close, you could talk to her about it. does she feel like she is the favorite? maybe she could talk to your mom about it. talking to her directly might not help so much because she might deny it or even get angry (of course, you know better how your mom may react). you could try getting involved in some one-on-one mother-daughter activities.
