“You’re the family failure”: Woman fed up with years of constant comparison to golden child sister refuses to attend family vacation after teasing is taken too far

I was born into a Latin American household. While I do enjoy the sweet, romantic melodies of a good bolero, know how to make my own tortillas from scratch, and can roll my r's, there are some aspects of my culture that might have people outside of it doing double-takes. For example, most members in Latino homes are lovingly nicknamed after their biggest insecurity, like la Flaca (the skinny one) or el Chaparro (the short one). I had a cousin known as el Gordito (the small, fat one), who grew up to be pretty fit, yet he still goes by the nickname to this day. 

To outsiders, this tradition could seem mean-spirited, but the truth it is just lighthearted fun that no one in Latin America takes too seriously. However, in our story today, a woman, fed up with constant "jokes" comparing her with her golden child sister, finally snaps. She puts her foot down and refuses to attend another family vacation when one comment takes it too far. Scroll down for more.
