[quote=Anonymous]DH is jealous if his siblings for good reason.  His oldest brother got the lion's share of parental attention because his dad was determined that he would become a world class musician, which he now is - first chair violin for a world class symphony, a million dollar instrument, world travel, glamour.  He was the third son and by the time he came along no one had time for pictures or parties.  He was told that there was no time for Boy Scouts or sports teams even though his older brothers got to play.  So he basically spent his childhood alone and ignored.  A few years after him was born the only girl, and when she was old enough, all of a sudden there WAS time for Girl Scouts and other activities, but not for him.  He's the only sibling who didn't go to college (complicated, but it boils down to no one really noticed him through high school, no one cared.)

The sad thing is they're all gone now (one died, and the others are scattered on opposite coasts) but my DH has always lived within 10 miles so he will be at their beck and call for house repairs, medical appointments, etc.  He does everything for them but his siblings will always be spoiled golden children.  (literally his mom, in her 70s, will still drive 300 miles to clean her daughter's kitchen and bath.  [/quote]
