[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who did your mom choose?[/quote] Not sure I understand the question. She did not choose anyone and I am not sure that’s her choice to make. [/quote] I understood. I am one of five, and have always been last in my mom's estimation. I could speculate as to why but the bottom line is she has been toxic to me in a way she was not to my other siblings. At this point, she (and my dad) are quite self-sufficient (at 78, she still works at a job she picked up in her 60s after a life of being a SAHM). I am dreading when someone will look to me to be helpful to her and hope at least it will be when my kids are out of the house. In my DH's family, the most helpful sibling is the same sibling whose mortgage and kids' tuitions are being paid by the grandparents. There is a reason why she carries more of the burden. Parents definitely choose favorites, and it plays into who is more helpful later.[/quote]
