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. =)

I think one of the only things you can do is just to talk to her about it and tell her everything that is on your mind because in reality only seh can change the way she acts if you know what i mean. obviously you would have to talk to her when no one else is around and make sure she knows that you really mean it and you really care. i don't have a twin but i'm sure it can be difficult at times alwyas having to deal with another one of you (haha) but just think about it this way, your sister might even feel the same exact way and just hasn't said anything yet. i think sometimes parents 'favor' their other kid (usaully the oldest) without even realizing it. in all, your mom loves you both no matter how sappy that sounds so you should just talk to her and even though it seems like shes always busy try to plan a day of the week where just you 2 hang out or something, might help! good luck =)
