my stepfather is a total baby. he gets what ever he wants. his mom baught him a car. my mom baught him a scanner. and his mom baught him a new computer. and those were when he just wanted it. it's like he get's what he wants but i dont get what i want. and he gets expensive stuff on his birthdays when i just get a birthday card. how do i get things to be fair around here. or atleast stop him from getting what ever he wants
Mercy_x_Me answered Friday August 19 2005, 9:03 pm: The truth is you'll never 'stop' adults from getting their way. The blatant truth is in most cases, you can never 'stop' anyone at all from getting what they want. It's one of those things in life that just sucks. What I would do is pull your mom aside and let her know how you aren't liking the favoritism and what not. Other than that though, just be tough. He'll always be emotionally unstable in life if all he thrives on is material things. Learn how to live off more important things... portray qualities that make people know your not weak like him.

*= Make sure it its not titled what i want or what to get me
What i wish for my birthday will sound polite and mature which will give your parents that impersion(sp) of you..

They're adults and if they choose to spend money that way you can't stop them. Try talking to your mom about it, and see what she says. Good luck!

xomegaroni answered Friday August 19 2005, 9:58 am: hmm..i think it's only because he's an adult. try talking to your mom about the situation, because maybe she doesn't realize that it's unfair. i'm sure if you explain how you feel she'll understand.
ncblondie answered Friday August 19 2005, 7:58 am: Since he's an adult, it's unlikely that things will change much. I would suggest talking to your mom and letting her know that you feel left out by only receiving a card for your birthday. Perhaps you can suggest some gifts that are not too expensive.
