[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry OP.  I am an adult with a happy life, but I have an aunt and uncle who take my sibling on multiple (1-3) extravagant trips they pay for very year.  
Sometimes it gets rubbed in my face, sometimes they try and hide it.  It is weird and if I must say hurtful.

I asked my family if I had done something wrong (I don't need for someone to pay my way, but it would be nice to be invited occasionally especially since I do travel and would have happily met up with them for a few days somewhere and paid for my own flight and hotel).  This aunt always complained their mother had a favorite and resents her mother for it, yet my aunt constantly plays favorites.

I learned you can't control anyone but yourself.  When I see these people I am kind, but have more boundaries now.  My mom has a beach house on the same road as this aunt and uncle.  I visit my mom in the summer and see them at the beach or go over and say hi, occasionally share a meal, but if they try to be too involved I now have boundaries.

Before I did anything they asked because I wanted them to "like" me. Not everyone is going to like you or want to invite you to things.  That is life.  I can only control me and how I handle myself and situations.  [/quote]
