i used to be very upset with my parents especially my dad coz he rarely goes out with me and he is working like mad!!!! I felt so so sad that one day i couldnt take it anymore and i just blurted it out to him..... he smiled and said,"you silly girl.Of course i love you. But i want to see you graduate first. Only then will my entertainment life begin'. well at least i confronted him and knows he still loves me although we dont really hang out as a family much. I resolved that when im older i will make sure that i take care of him and bring him to all the places he has never been to.....

That happens in large familys and I know how you feel. Your parents love you but I'm guessing they're probably exhausted.It takes everything and more for parents to do a good job of taking care of their families. Sometimes they fall short of what they'd like to do too.It depends on how old you are as to what kinds of things that you might do.If you're young ( 9-16)The best thing for you to do is to try to get some alone time with each of them.It won't be great but it can be pretty good. For example when your mom has to go to the grocery store ask her if you can go with her.Hang out with her & talk and let her know how things are going with you.Ask her how things are going with her.Ask her if you guys can stop for a donut or some coffee/soda.Same with dad. If he has to run an errand and go to the hardware store or to get gas in his car ask him if you can go for a ride with him. Use even 5 minutes of time to catch up with him.It still counts.You'll have to be creative and so will will your parents to make time for each other.I'm sure your parents would feel bad if they were aware of how you were feeling.I hope they'll remember that someday you'll be grown up and gone so they need to try to create a little room for some time to spend with you. Good luck.

Talk to them. Tell them basically what you said, that you know younger kids need greater attention but you feel a little excluded. Also, depending on your age, you might offer to help with the chores for the younger kids which might, in turn, free up some of your parents time to spend with you.

Tell them exactly how you feel, this exact question... tell them you understand the younger ones need more attention, but you feel like you're being left out and you don't feel as loved as you used to... they'll probably understand (hopefully, with 6 kids)and realize what they've been doing (probably unknowingly), and try to include you more often.

I think I good way to deal with it is to help out with your younger siblings. This will show your parents you are helpful and they can still do some of the same family things because they have children like yourself who are willing to help share the work load.

help them out around the house make dinner for them or give them a night off helping them will show them how much you care which will make them want to show you how much they care

mine doesnt either so i know how it feels my dad spent more time with my older brother and his friends so the best advice is ask them to have time for you and tell them you want to spend time with them and do what they do.
