Okay, well I have six brothers and sisters and I am the third oldest out of seven. Well, my oldest brother is 15 and I am 13. Well, my brothers name is Dylan. So, my dad always spends time and money on Dylan. I mean Dylan does Football and stuff. So, he is always with him. I do sports to. And the main reason that I do sports is to get attention from my dad. Well, I have this Volleyball camp Monday through Thursday and my dad was supposed to take me. But guess what. He is going to take Dylan to a camp instead. The only day that he can take me is Thursday.The last day. It just makes me feel like my dad loves Dylan more than me. I mean I kind of get it because Dylan is his oldest boy. But, HEY I am his oldest girl. So, why shouldn't he spend time with me to? I would love to hear what evryone's advice is. Thanks a million!!!!!! (: Oh, by the way, my name is Allison.
Your parents have 7 children. I'm sure having such a large family that they love each and every one of you. Dylan being the oldest may be receiving more of dads attention for a specific reason. Possibly to see to it that Dylan excells in this one sport so to receive a college scholership.
He is making time to see you at volley ball camp and I will bet in two years when you are 15 you will receive more of dads attention too. College is important and it is expensive. Having 7 children means your parents are looking for any help they can get to defray the cost of college. As you turn 15 and start to prepare for college I'mm sure dad will spend time helping you hone your sports skills so you too can recive a scholarship to Collage.
So give dad the benefit of the doubt and possibly talk to him about how you feel. I'm sure he is not aware of how you feel. I am also positive he is not wanting to hurt you this way so let him know nicely of your feelings. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
