[quote=Anonymous]I caught up with an old friend and we found we both have the same situation. We both have a pampered sibling who the parents cater to and favor. In both cases the sibling is bright and accomplished, but has few friends, is self-absorbed, cannot make a relationship with a significant other work and still acts very much like a spoiled immature child. When they visit the parents they are coddled, cooked for, driven places and fussed over. No diagnosed mental illness in either case which I guess does not rule it out. It's like the parents enable atrocious self-centered and immature behavior and yet in both cases a ridiculous amount of expectations are put on us, no accommodating and we set boundaries to keep our own family units healthy and happy and consequently we become the scapegoat. Just wondering how common this dynamic is.[/quote]
