Woman Cancels On Family Vacation After Finding Out Her Parents Paid for Golden Child Brother Yet Again, Finally Setting Boundaries After Years of Favoritism

Welcome, gossiping goddesses. While most parents love all of their children equally, it is unfortunately not uncommon for parents to have favorites. Some parents would never admit it, even under duress, and others could not be more clear when showing favoritism. A well-known dynamic in families thar of the scapegoat and the golden child. The golden child, the favored child, gets pampered and can do no wrong in the eyes of their parents while the scapegoat is constantly blamed and treated like a problem child, even if both siblings have similar personalities and behaviors. 

As children, the golden child might experience more gifts, rewards, and freedoms, while the scapegoat may receive lower-quality gifts, are punished more often, and have more restrictions imposed on them. As adults, it might be easier to ignore your parents' favoritism as you grow more independent, but if you find yourself invited to a family vacation, and you are expected to pay the full price while your brother gets a free holiday, it is a difficult dynamic to ignore. Such was the case in our story today, and our headstrong protagonist finally stood up to her parents by cancelling on them. Get the full details by scrolling down.
