[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In what world do you live where you thought telling your parents how to spend their money was a good idea?[/quote]

Your mother is right that you do come across as feeling entitled to their money. [b]You really don’t get to have an opinion about their financial relationship with your brother, and you also don’t get to resent it. What a strange and abnormal reaction.[/b]

See a therapist to work through your dysfunction and warped thinking. You sound like you’re trapped in some long-established patterns and you aren’t healthy, mentally. [/quote]

I am an only child, so I’m coming at this with no personal baggage over the issue. But I think your response is actually abnormal. It’s totally unreasonable to expect that a person would have no opinion what so ever, and not have their feelings at all hurt by their parents investing the majority of their resources in a sibling. Whether the resource is money, time, etc. OP’s mother has clearly shown that she prefers using her resources to support brother.

Of course OP cannot dictate what her mother does and should not throw a tantrum over this. But OP’s mother isn’t entitled to live in a vacuum where her treatment of one child has not affect on her relationship with her other child. I am a mother of 3 and very aware that even my young children are looking for some sort of parity in how I treat them. And there’s no shortage of adults in therapy or posting on this board about their issues rising from being treated less than compared to their siblings. Favoring one child is going to breed resentment and as a parent you need to learn to live with the outcome of your actions. It is OP’s mother who is acting entitled. [/quote]
