I am an honors student and have been one since kindergarden. I am the only fit person in my house. I have got 9 awards for figure skating. My dad smiles when i bring home my report card and the metals and then it blows by him. My brother wants to get fit so he started to go to the gym. My dad seems so much more enthuesatic about that.He talks about it all the time that it even annoys my mom. He looks for stuff online to show him what weight lifting does for him. Our whole food shopping list has changed because my dad wants my brother to be surrounded by healthy food so he won't be tempted. As i said above i have got all A's since kindergarden and my brother has got A's, B's, and C's from kinderagrden until 7th grade. In 7th to the 2nd quarter in 8th grade he got 2 C's 1 A and the rest were D-'s and F's. In eighth he wnt up from a d to a c+ in spanish and my dad took the family out to dinner beacuse of that. I have talked to him beacuse of that. what to do!!

anonimus person, i know u! ur brothers an idiot, ur mom gets anoyyed by evything, and ur dad likes anonimus eddy person of which i do not know [jk] better. I know why! (why would u ask this question to america, and not ask me first!?)Ur dad doesnt like eddy uh...unknown person better! He just likes well, eddy is a guy, i think, and Ur dad Likes the fact that eddy is somewhat a guy, and well father son time is happening between them. Normally I would encourage bonding, but, I don't like ur brother. And u should pull them aside seperatly and talk to them about the pros and cons of their bonding. And ur right! Isn't it also true that ur parents gave eddy 20 bucks for not getting any F's?? U didn't get ANYTHING for high honers, except coming to my house! U cook, Ur nice, Ur smart! He's well.... lets not go there.I love u my sista, and cant wait til the lake.

Your parent's expect exemplary performance from you because that is the way you have always been. Your brother is now finally getting his act together and your dad is excited about it and wants to encourage him not to mention that they can do the whole father/son bonding thing.
Please don't let this get to you. Keep up with your studies and activities, and use the time to bond with your mom. If you're feeling left out, show some interest in what your dad and brother are doing. Go to the gym with them; ask dad to look up some information on muscle toning for you. All relationships are give and take, and this is good practice for your future.

Your dad worries about your brother, that much is clear. It sounds like you've been dealt a better hand in life, and your dad is trying to boost your brother. Imagine how much worse it would be if he showered you with praise and encouragement, and ignored your brother's needs.
Your feelings are understandable, but the situation will probably never change. Instead of cataloging everything, be thankful for your blessings. And don't hold your dad's behavior against your brother. Try to give him a helping hand when you can.

Maybe your dad realizes that your brother needs more attention and encouragement than you do, after all, it looks like everything is going well for you. Maybe your dad wants to help out your brother more. You could let him (your dad) know how you feel, and maybe he'll explain it to you. Tell him that you feel a little neglected, and want some attention too.

yeah, well some not all fathers do better with boys, so the other may be left out of things,, if your doing good in life, i wouldnt get upset over this, im sure your father loves you,so its not that.. you ever talk to him, and maybe tell him that you would want to do something him and you,, ? sounds like your wanting more of his time or love, for what ever reason,, I think you and him dont see eye to eye on all things which most are like this.. you should talk more with him... sounds to me that talk isnt there....

What exactly is your complaint? Sounds like your dad has acknowledged your successes and is focusing on the kid that needs his help. How about you stop competing with your brother and try to be of help as well.
