[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re the favorite, you have a lot of unearned privilege.  Sit with that [/quote]

Snort.  My mom was not really great to any of us- three kids before 30, short temper, yelled a lot.  Not physically abusive beyond occasional spanking but I was always wary of setting her off.  I went away to college, my sister didn't take on debt like I did and went to the local commuter school while living at home.  Which was wise but it meant living with my parents longer, and apparently once I was gone my mom would talk about me in glowing terms all the time.  Absence makes the heart grow fonder?  But I don't feel like I got anything out of being the favorite besides a resentful sister, and I still don't like to be around my mom for extened periods of time because she can be so toxic and negative.[/quote]
My sister says this sort of nonsense, justifying it by saying that our parents weren't good to her either.  But it's a whole different level.  She just never paid attention because she's so caught up with herself.[/quote]
