Why child favouritism is a real thing
Hey guys! This is my first time writing a mytake and I hoe you guys liked it! So sit back and enjoy this very article.
As sadly as told by psychologists, out of 10 parents, 6 of them admitted they have a favourite child. And 2 of them had admitted that although they had a favourite child, they always try to keep the treatment between all kids fair.
Personally, I came from a slightly unfair family. It’s really easy to tell. I’m a middle child with an older brother , and a younger sister who is younger than me by 9 years. Omg right?
Here I’ll share to you why I feel excluded in my family and why I always find my friends for help instead of spilling my feelings to my family members. And why I think I’m being unfairly treated. Enjoy! 😂
1. Parents tend to expect more from me
I have learnt piano and guitar so far, and they tend to expect me to finish grade 8 in just a few years. My brother, however, had learnt guitar for three years and manage to barely pass his grade 4 guitar test ( where my parents say it’s okay for him to fail ) . Whereas I, learning for only 1 year, had managed to score 80/100 marks. And it’s what my parents called as ‘normal’. They didn’t even congratulate me. Unbelievable, right?
2. My studies must always be better than my siblings
As a person who’s homeschooling, I’m currently going for degree. My brother had needed 4 tries to pass his first paper when he was 16 (50% passing rate). And this year, I am 16. Which means I’ll be taking the first level of degree, where my mom has threatened that if I don’t finish my first paper in two tries, I’ll be counted as useless, lazy and will be sent off back to school and declare to everyone I was a failure. I have to pass three papers by June by the way, a total of 3 months since I started taking my exam ( my bday is on March that’s why). Whereas on the other hand, my brother had used a total of 12 full months to complete 4 papers. Huh, who’s crazy now?
3. I get nothing I asked
I can’t buy anything I want, not even if it’s cheap. My brother however, gets to buy cinema figurines, and other stuffs just by his request. Worst, my sister, can literally buy anything she asks ( I’m not kidding ). I have to get a grade 4 to get a piano, however, my sister sang songs for 3 days and my mom thought she had the potential to learn music and bought her an electronic piano. LOL. I’ve been telling my mom to buy me an electronic piano when I’m grade 1-3 cuz I needed to practice.
4. They’re always protective of my siblings
When I was little, a slight mistake will get you whipped (yes I have Asian parents). But now? My sister can do whatever she wants and not getting whipped or punished. AT ALL.
There are still more to list, but I don’t wanna to bore you guys 😂. In conclusion, my parents treat me like shit but they expect me to treat them nicely. by the way I do more chores than my brother and when I rested they’ll call me ‘useless’ and not contributing.
It’s amazing when I talk to them about it, they actually denied it in my face and say it’s because my siblings are better than me. So....yeah. I hate this home. I’m serious, hoped you liked this article.
