I think my mom favors my older sister over me....?

Question

shes like 21 and im 14 =[

Answer 1

I don't get what your question is since I don't know your mom. You sister probably has a bit more freedom since she's older - maybe you feel like she's getting favored because of that. Also, if your sister isn't around as much - going to college, working, etc., maybe your mom is anxious to spend extra time with her because she knows your sister will be out of the house and on her own soon.

Answer 2

I do not think she favors her more, it is the age difference, your older sister is 21, which means shes coming into the young adult stage,your mom does not have to worry as much with her , she should know by now that your sister is more mature, you on the other hand have many things to learn yet, which would make your mom a little more protective of you. She loves you just the same but you still have more to learn than your older sister. So you think she favors her more.In time you will see what I mean. your mom does love you the same.

Answer 3

I have felt the same way and sometimes the other way around. My mom is from nigeria and my sister used to get EVERYTHING when she came. When I was born, the attention had to be shifted alot. Your mom might be acting like that because your sister is entering adulthood and she wants to help spread her wings. And don't worry ur mom loves u both and ur time will come to get a little more attention.
(If ur sister is moving out, that's one reason she's getting more attention, If not, it's just an age thing.) good luck. :)

Answer 4

my sisters says the same thing but it is not true. it may seem that way but it is probably that your sister is older and more mature. i don't know what your mom did to make you think that. from personal experience your mom favors both you the same and you are just reading too much into it.

Answer 5

I use to feel like that, I am a middle child...but at 14 if I remember is around the age you become at odds with your parents anyway. When you get older you will see it differently...she loves you both exactly the same

Answer 6

She probably feels like she has more in common with you're sister since she is an adult now, too. That doesn't mean she likes her more than you necessarily, just in a different way.

Maybe you can make an effort to do things with your Mom, ask her if just you and her can go out to lunch, or shopping, something like that. Ask her advice on things... almost everyone of every age likes to know that their advice is appreciated. Good luck. :)

Answer 7

I haven't met a family that didn't favor one child over another. They all love each other, but as far as common interest and showing appreciation and all.... one child is always favored. It's one of life's little mysteries that as long as time exists.. so will favortism ! I'm not trying to be mean, but realistic !!!!

Answer 8

I used to think that when i was much younger but as i grew older i realised that my sister needed my mom more than i did cos she was less confident and i was always the confident one.. I did ask my mom about why she treated my sister better and she told me that my sister was somewhat sensitive and needed lots of suport, she also told me to help her help my sister. i sure hope i have made some sense.

Answer 9

those things happen all the time! dont worry, my friend has a sister that's 5 years older than her, and she was jealous cuz one day, their mom told her older sister that she is mature enough to do anything she wants. then, my friend thought their mom wasn't being fair, but eventually, she got over it.

Answer 10

You didn't say why you feel this way, so I will guess that you feel she gets either more attention or more money than you. I suggest you ask your Mom if you could talk to her and tell her how you feel. The age difference may have something to do with it, but I think you need to open up to her.
