Favoritism

Being a family is accidental. You get born into a group of people without anyone asking you if you wanted to be born to those people in the first place. But staying as a family is the tricky part. This is why solving family issues are very crucial.
One of the most delicate family issues is whether or not your parents are running a favoritism show among their kids. But it only sucks if the favorite isn’t you.

Favoritism happens in a lot of families. The usual most loved among siblings is a toss between the eldest and the youngest. The middle kids are either okay with it or they have the middle child syndrome.

Before you make some life-changing reactions to these seemingly suspicious acts of favoritism, consider these first.
Parents treat their children differently because each child is different from each other. This is ok as long as different does not mean unfair. Sometimes the favored child needs more attention because of poor health. Instead of being mad, try to look at the condition on a brighter side. You’re naturally confident while your sister is deeply insecure. Come to think of it, she might need your support, too.

Don’t let it make you think that you’re unwanted. Sometimes this feeling of being loved less can have a long-lasting effect. It can develop into an attitude problem later on. You might become needy or aloof in your relationship with other people. Children who get over favoritism issues at home tend to lead happier lives and enjoy healthier relationships as they grow older.
