Answer 1

dude talk to ur mom...and i had the same problem. my brother was 18 and i was 11 and he got everything he wanted..and so i talk to my mom and she said the loved me, but the only reason she was there for my brother now was because he was at an age that he needed his ffamily...she said that at this age kids tend to do what thier freinds tell them to do and usually do the wron thing...she said she wanted my brother to feel like she was there and if he needed advice she wanted him to tell her first.

Answer 2

Based on what you've written you are not being left out. She is providing for you, not ignoring your needs completely. As mentioned above, it might be beneficial to talk to your mother about how you feel. The beauty of it is you wrote that you know your mother loves you with all her heart. Above all else, that is the best gift in the world. Some of us have never experienced a mother's love. Plus, think of it this way. Your brother will probably have to get a job soon. You will be momma's baby for at least seven more years! ;-)

Answer 3

Talk to your mom. Even though you know she loves you, she will not know how you feel until you talk with her. Always start with how you feel, not an accusation. Think of always starting your sentences with "I" instead of "you" like this: "Mom, I sometimes feel left out because my brother always gets better things than I do." Then listen to her explanation. I am sure she loves you, there are only a select few moms that don't really care about their kids and aren't really trying to do the right thing. Sometimes they just don't know how to do it, and they need a little direction from their kids. Good luck!!!!

Answer 4

Ithink your mom gets your brother more expensive things because he's older for one and maybe more responsible. Those are just material things don't place so much of life's values on those kinds of things.If you know your mom loves you that counts for more than anything!! If I were you I would talk to her about the way you feel. She sounds like a good mom and I think she will understand.

Answer 5

I dont know if I will be any help. Im a parent. My oldest usually gets nicer things. I think its because I feel my youngest doesnt know better. But they are 6yrs & 1 yr. Talk to your mom. Or if you cant write her a letter. Anything to get you point across with out miss behaving. Good luck. Im sure your a great kid.

Answer 6

I am so sorry. Feeling left out hurts. Have you tried talking to your Mom or your brother? I think you need to speak out. Let them know how you feel. Most importantly is for your Mom to show you love, materialistic things don't matter.

Answer 7

i think that you should talk to your mom and tell her what u are feeling i feel the same way....
