Well, i'm really sensitive (i'm a cancer)and like i feel my mom plays favorites because everytime we go 2 the store just me and my mom always thinks of my sis no matter what and she's older than me but like everytime she goes 2 the store with my sis she gets me nothin' and i don't know if it's because i remind her of my sis or because she likes her best (shopping wise)

Please don't use being a cancer as an excuse to whine, moan, complain! So your sensitive, try being sensitive towards your mother. Would you like to deal with this? Maybe if you weren't so busy worrying about what your sister is getting from the store you might enjoy what you have more. Quit comparing yourself to your sister and counting how many t-shirts you have vs how many she has...it is petty. You need to step above this and look around you....
What do you do around the house? what extra activities do you do and enjoy? Maybe you do alot more or have more friends or go out more .... Think about it honestly. Maybe if you quit giving your mom a hard time you will see that you and your sister are two different people that need to be treated differently. Life isn't fair and no two people are the same...
I hope you learn something here. Best wishes...

Yes, you're spoiled. And your jealous of your sister. Using your astrological sign as an excuse is the clincher on this one.
Nothing is being taken away from you if your mother buys something for your sister. You didn't lose anything. It wasn't the last cookie in the cookie jar on a day when you were starving.
Maybe your mother knows you are sensitive and is trying to raise you to be non-materialistic. Maybe this is how she shows her interest in developing your good qualities so they will shine as wisdom in the future.

I think you need to speak to your mother about your feelings.. She may not know you feel this way and there for may not understand why you act as a spoiled brat. Sometimes parents don't know everything. Talk to her. and in the future.. don't expect a present every time she goes to the store. If you want something then I suggest you find a job.

The next time she goes to the store remind your mom of something that you may need. Your sign being cancer you are more interested in your home life and family! Try not to be jealous of your sister!

looks like your looking for material things and not the quality of things given to you by your mother. mom probably does think of you when shopping, she just doesn't need to buy all the time. i'm a mom of 3 and gramma of 1 and i love each of them just as much as the other. it gets shown differently to each one, but the amount is the same. think of the things mom DOES do, not the things she doesn't. i have a pretty good hunch that you'll find that there is a lot there that you didn't notice before. good-luck!

It is possible that you are overthinking it, but if not, then there is quite little you can do about it. Tolerate it and squeeze that stress ball until you're 18 and can move out. =] Parents, even untintentionally, may play favorites, however, if you insist on asking they'll deny it. And no, you aren't acting like a spoiled brat(yet).

Yes you are. Maybe your mom thinks she favors you in a way because you do have cancer, so your mom wants to give you sister a certain kind of attention and treats her at the grocery store.
It's not like she's shopping at the mall and getting your sister new clothes all the time, ya know? It's just groceries, don't sweat the small stuff.

Well, it does kind of sound like that, and it's hard to really see the big picture when you're in this situation, but it's possible that she actually isn't playing favorites, but it seems like she is.

Nvm about my old answer. maybe she does this because she wants to spend as much time as possible with your sister before she leaves to college or something. My sister, it was only because she was 'golden' 'prettier' and 'smarter'.
