Although me and my sister have a pretty good relationship, she loves to brag and boost about her much better life which makes me feel like crap at times and she likes to belittle me and talks down on my accomplishments from time to time. My younger brother is only 2 years younger but he is still very much spoiled by my mother and can do no wrong in her eyes and is probably her favorite but she wont admit it. Pretty much I feel like my parents pay more attention to my others siblings than me and it can hurt at times because I am the main child always there for them and doing everything that they ask. When I do tell them about accomplishments in my life they don't seem highly enthused but if it is my sister or brother they're bouncing off the walls!. Sad to say it but I feel like they only have me around to be their personal slave so at this point I'm just looking forward to graduating from college and moving out the house. Could I just be overreacting or I'm seriously being taken for granted by my family?
