my parents are playing favorites like always


Question Posted Friday November 4 2005, 4:05 pm

Sorry it's sooo long but I really need help

ok I got a 65 on my social studies test last friday. I got it back on monday to get signed. Well it was Halloween on monday so I forgot to get it signed that night. The next morning before I went to school I told my mom about it. My mom told my dad and my dad totally flipped out on me. He told me that I couldn't go on any of the computers in my house cause I go on and talk to people a lot.(I'm grounded pretty much but I still go on.)I told him that half my class did bad and other classes and people had lower grades than me. So a day or two after my sis comes home with a 68 3 points higher than mine in bio.(almost all of her class did bad she says) My dad doesnt even yell at her. Yet my sister doesnt get in trouble and she is always doing her homework with the tv on which I'm not allowd to do. She also does homework with her ipod mini on. I flipped out on my mom the other night when she was sick because she told me that I shouldnt be IMing people. Mys sister is always making fun of me and telling me I should do this or that better(I'm the youngest) The other day my sister comes in the room while I'm doing homework and starts going through my candy for halloween and asking me if she can have like everything that she can eat. I told her go eat your own candy and she says I barely got any candy and I couldnt eat half of it(shes allergic to nuts) and I told her well thats not my fault. My parents are always making me do chores and not her. They are always buying her candy and crap. They always play favorites and I'm not gonna take any of this shit anymore. My annoying bratty nosey sister and my yelling parents I can't take it. I just want to run away I want my sister to get out of my life but we have to share a fucking room.
What can I do about my parents playing favorites?
I want to tell my dad that its not fair but he hates that. What can I do? Please help!!!!!

I believe you and all but i think you're over reacting. Your parents probably expect more from you. So in a way, its a good thing. For example if you get a bad grade they're suprised but if your sister does they probably get used to very bad grades from her. Dont be afraid to ask your parents why your sister doesnt get punished for bad grades (in a calm voice, no yelling :D)

maybe they know that you can do better, so they expect more of u. (which means that they think youre smart.) if thats not is, then your probably just blowing things a little out of proportion. im not saying that theyre right, and youre wrong, but you probably just notice it more.

I'm not saying that I don't believe you, but I want you to actually think about if what you're describing is really what's happening. Is this playing favorites really going on? Or do you think that it's going on? Do you ever think you're blowing this out of proportion? Take time to think about that. If you are very sure that this is happening, then you have to talk to one of your parents about this. Don't tell your parents something isn't fair, tell them you feel hurt when your sister isn't grounded for recieving a D on her test, yet you are punished when you have one. Or better yet, ask them why. Say, "Mom/dad, why did I get grounded for having a bad grade on my test, and sis didn't when she came home with a bad grade?" Your best solution is being calm when you talk to them, yelling and screaming how they are unfair makes you look like you're overeacting and they won't even care to listen. Turn your anger into calm words to them so that they can actually have a fair and respectful response to you.
