A Parent Having A Favorite Child! by Michellebaby(f): 2:33am On Jan 24, 2015 |
How do you handle a situation where as a person you do your very best to make the family happy especially your mother putting your own emotions aside! However, your mother prefers your other sister to you even when that particular sister can be selfish, self centre and disrespectful at times. But your mother see you as the old one in the family even all you ever care for is her happiness to the extent you will do anything for her unlike the other sister! So how do you deal with such reject and hurt? |

Well, I'd say. you keep doing what you do. Don't try to be like the favored child in order to be loved too. And don't take it too much to heart. Most times, a child is loved not because of his/her character. Could be other reasons. Please, don't always put your emotions aside! Do good, but have your happiness in mind too! Good luck. |

Michellebaby: Even your signature has said it all"don't ever judge a book by its cover" You might be wrong afterall. What you need to do now is to let your mum know what is going on in your mind and how you're feeling about it. It might just be a fragment of your thought or she might have some explanations to make as regards her actions. Until you take that step, you can say for sure that your mum loves your sister more than you. |

Just keep being yourself and do what you deem right. But don't do it with expectations to be acknowledged, so you won't feel hurt if otherwise happens. I won't say you may be thinking wrongly about how they feel about you 'cause I had a personal experience. With time things will change for better (you can take this word to the bank). They'll later discover you are the handy and independent one and everyone's attention will be on you with much regard. Parents really have to be careful not to create cold wars between children. 1 Like |

Sometimes, it can't be helped because children behave differently. But it should be discouraged. Every child has a gift and should be enhanced. All children need love and security! 2 Likes |

Most parents do have a favourite child and it could be due to circumstances surrounding the birth of the child or any other thing. It's poor on the part of parents if they let it show however.You must as a parent try to show love to all your kids equally. Op,just keep doing what you're doing and don't take it to heart.Love yourself and most importantly recognise you have a Father Who loves you more than earthly parents. |
