TIPS TO COPE WITH FAVORITISM AT HOME

Hello Stella.
Holla fellow BVs.

I'm sending this in to get what encouragement I can get, and practical tips to overlook favoritism at home.

Perhaps my parents didn't know,or they still don't, I don't reckon they are capable of loving more than a child. If they knew perhaps, they would have given birth to just one and left the rest of us out of their "proof of fertility" exercise.

Our dad used to be fair, but over the years, perhaps our mother influenced him or something, he also started doting only on this other sibling of ours.

I'll tell you a bit about this sibling of ours. He's self-centered, thinks everyone should worship him and cater to him, has the most insane mood swings for a guy, keeps malice over the littlest things and so on.

Our parents, our mum largely, does not hold him accountable for anything he does. We are always amazed by the kinds of things he gets away with. The rest of us can't even dream of getting away with half of them. He, his friends and his girlfriend are the priority in our house.

Before you guys think he provides for us, no. He is working, but earns just enough to take care of himself. Our parents have their own money, so they don't depend on him financially either.

I'll soon get a job God's willing. When I do, I plan to do everything possible to leave and take my younger sister with me. We try our best to keep things running smoothly at home, but what we get most of the time is complaints.

In fact, what prompted my sending this is that our mum called from her office in front of everyone there, saying the food I woke up early in the morning to cook so she can go to work with, is tasteless. I am a good cook. It wasn't tasteless. She does this almost every time. An important point. Whoever has a misunderstanding with her golden child, becomes her enemy till reconciliation. 

You'd be astonished the length she goes to make a person's life unbearable for that. No, he is not the only son.( As if that should make this right in a sane world). No, he is not the most hardworking. I have just come to the conclusion that he's just the one their hearts chose and that's just it.

Dear BVs,I pray almost daily for God to keep my heart pure and help me not to hate them. It's a struggle on many days not to just pack my stuff and disappear.
The whole point of this chronicle is to let this off my chest and learn from the experiences of others who may have experienced this. 

How did you deal with it?
N.B:
We are in our mid twenties.

Ah ah!... Maybe you should stop focusing on how much and care is shown to this sibling and spend your energy trying to get a Job and be better for yourself..... Could they have a valid reason for treating him so special?  Let me read comments!
