As much as parents love to say they don't have a favorite child, everyone knows that is completely untrue. The parents know it, the kids know it, and even the cat knows it. They can try the hide it, and if they do it well, the favoritism can go undetected for a long time, but at some point, the small actions towards a specific kid pile up and the truth comes out.

For example, I have two sisters, and all three of us know that my parents love my younger sister the most. They spoiled her more growing up, let her do whatever she wanted with barely any consequences, and most importantly, they always took her side whenever we fought.

Although I've accepted it, and they do really try to hide it, it still stings from time to time. That is why I cannot begin to comprehend how the daughter in this Reddit story feels about the obvious favoritism her parents show her brother. It reached a point where the parents demanded she pay rent at their home just so they could afford to fund her brother's lifestyle. Thankfully, the daughter refused and is now considering moving out of her parents' place.
