Sister is a favourite

    My parents have always tried to be fair and equal with my sister and me.
    She has been living away for college and work since she left school. I lived at home until i was 21 and moved out but recently moved back home.
    My sister has no patience with my parents and she gives out and treats them like they are 4 years old. She tells them everything, especially about nights out and her exploits etc.
    I'm very private and don't tell them much if anything about my life and that's how I like it.
    If my mother says something about the neighbours my sister will stop her and give out that she doesn't want to know. I'm very patient with them and try my best to listen to them so if my mother starts about the neighbours I'll listen even if I don't want to. I drive them everywhere and do my bit about the house. My sister leaves a mess when she's home and my mother clears it up everytime.
    I can remember my mother telling me that the wrong child had moved out. This really hurt.
    Maybe this is normal when your child lives away but I feel like it's one rule for my sister and another for me. I feel like i've made a huge mistake moving home but i've no choice.

    i have two daughters in the uk and i do love them both equally. i am also aware that i treat them both unintentionally differantly i dont mean to, whilst being more tolerant with one i will be less with the other i love them both so much equally and in differant ways as they are both individual. my eldest was to visit a couple of weeks ago and because she couldnt do it by herself we had a big argument and for the 2nd year in a row i have missed out on her visiting am i sorry no i want her to stand on her own two feet without relying on others when we argue it will take ages to resolve the other seems to get away with everything but she doesn't when we do argue it is over and resolved very quickly within minutes. you and your sis are not alike but differant your parrents are proberbly aware not to argue with your sis else it will go on forever, you are the sweet reliable one they love you both but just like i love my daughters you have differant characters when you leave it will really break there harts thats life hun
