25-year-old cancels on family cruise after parents favor golden child yet again and pay for his ticket, she makes them believe she’s still going until the last minute: “Have a nice trip with your favorite child”

Hey there women and men of the internet. No one likes to feel like a second class citizen in their own home. Growing up with unfair parents can be rough, although it's a pretty standard and ubiquitous feeling. At least you know you're not alone amongst the stereotypes about the strictness for the eldest, the sense of pressure and discipline bestowed on them, or being the neglected middle child, neither here nor there. And who can forget the forever coveted position of being the youngest, whose wish is everyone's command, even when your older siblings don't want to. Eternally the baby. But despite classic stereotypes about how we're treated based on where we're enumerated amongst our siblings, it isn't always true, just like any siblings.

In the story below, the narrator is a woman who's the baby of the family, with an older brother and no other siblings. Although she's the youngest, she hasn't been treated as well as him. She knows he's the favorite and the golden child, and though she's strived to be a good daughter, it never seems good enough for her parents, despite how her older brother behaves. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

It must be heartbreaking to be this woman and feel so undervalued with the rest of her family. In situations like these, I always figure that the person must choose a partner quickly to have someone in their life to rely on. They can even be apart of their partners families in exchange for forsaking their own.
