Question by Banana Bread: It feels like my mum likes my brother better than me. What should I do?
I don’t understand why my mum likes my brother better than me. I just wish she could like us both the same, because it really hurts me.

I think that my brother is a HORRIBLE person. Now, I know what you’re thinking. I’m his sister, so of course I think this. But read on, and you’ll see why I think he is so horrible.
He has serious anger issues. He TRIES (always fails) to bash up me, my mum, and my dad who has skin spotted in melanomas, two cancers in his lung, one in his ONLY kidney, one in his bowel, severe ongoing tension headaches, and a cough.
My brother always tells us all he wants us dead, threatening us, insulting all of us, etc. He is a PIG, he NEVER cleans up and makes our house dirty, never does homework or studies for school until the morning it’s due, eats like there is no tomorrow, and he has no manners whatsover, always farting at the dinner table and never letting old people sit down in the bus. He is racist (he laughs at starving children in Africa. LAUGHS!), and he only cares about himself and his reputation. He thinks he is so great, and he tries to be all “cool” and “gangster” but it just fails because at home he sucks up to my mum and talks like a four year old girl.
To make all of this worse, he expects my parents to buy him whatever he wants. After the way he acts and the damage he does, my mum buys him whatever he wants, whenever! Tonight, she is buying him a Pokemon game for his DS. If he doesn’t get what he wants, then trouble comes.

I am the complete opposite. All I do is studying, homework, and more studying. When I have free time, I clean. I’m an A student, and I always get awards at school. I volunteer at whatever I can (marine rescue, dog shelter, old people’s home, etc.), and when I grow up I want to be a doctor, writer, and humanitarian worker (my brother wants to be a WWE wrestler). I NEVER ask for anything, and when I clean I refuse money from my parents, when my brothers demands ten bucks for picking up a scrap of paper.

So I don’t understand why my mum likes my brother more. He’s two years younger than me. Do you think it could be that, or how I look? I’m no beauty queen, but I can’t exactly say my brother is.
What should I do? It’s so obvious that my mum likes him more, because I never do anything bad like my brother, but if I be mean to my mum or dad just a tiny bit, she’ll hit me and say horrible things to me. She never does anything to my brother, but hug him. And the way she talks to me. She snaps at me when she says something, and croons when she talks to my brother.

I’m sorry, this is more of a rant. I just want to let it all out, but I also want some help.
Sorry, it’s so long!

By the way, I’m 13 (turning 14), and my brother is 12.

    To be honest my mum liked my boring sister more. Best thing to do is make yourself proud and happy.

    maybe you should tell a parent how you feel or another relative that might be able to explain to your parents what you think because probly if you tell them they will yell at you so like tell an aunt or grandparent

    DDAMMNN. I swear to you I have the same problem, you are not alone. My sister dropped out of school, fucked her boyfriend, and now smokes, and shes getting a new car any day now. I’m sorry if this sounds rude but I love reading this and now knowing I am not alone anymore. Just Find out why, because I asked my dad and he said “because she is doing all this shit I have to give her more attention, I’m afraid I will lose her again and I don’t want anything bad happen to her”. maybe thats the same with your family…Your mom doesn’t know how to react to this weird behavior so she acts impulsive. I got no clue what else to say other than tell to go fuck himself and wish your out of the house quicker. sorry.

    I know how you feel I have also felt like that. When I was in your position I asked my mom if she loved my sister more than me , of course she said no , but the next day I felt that way again. So I talked to my Dad about it and we started to play tennis and stuff together and I felt better. I know everyone says this but what I have learned is that your mum is only doing that to be nice to your brother because she probably knows that you don’t need her as much because your the total opposite of him. Your mum doesn’t mean to hurt you just try to have fun with other things.
