‘[Meanwhile] I was struggling’: Preferential parents go bankrupt to fund the Golden Child's frivolous lifestyle, begging the eldest sibling for a loan, which is promptly refused

If you grew up as the 'easy child' you may be entitled to compensation… Just kidding, the only compensation an easy kid ever gets is the satisfaction of knowing they did everything themselves. Growing up as a self-sufficient sibling, you know that parents will always focus more energy on the complicated child. 

Yeah, yeah, I get it–that other sibling is more needy, but it would still be nice every once in a while to be babied by your parents like they are. Imagine how easy life could be if your parents helped you as much as they helped out your Golden Child sibling? It'd be nice to have a parental parachute too. However, this elder sibling learned that the family dynamic in their reality was far from ideal after learning their parents dropped their entire savings to fund the Golden Child's frivolous lifestyle. 

After a lifetime of self-reliance–working through college, struggling for an apartment, and barely making ends meet–the older sibling had their life and their finances figured out. But when they got that desperate phone call from Mom and Dad admitting they'd spent all of their money on the youngest sibling's new cars, new apartments, and their schooling, the eldest snapped. 

Keep scrolling for the adamant loan refusal that empowered this self-reliant 'easy child' to finally put their foot down.
