Rant about my parents favoritism...

• 18

I don't think my parents realize how much they favorite/baby my sister. Just because I'm not all soft spoken like her, and don't just cry and go hide when challenged or when someone gets frustrated like she does, doesn't mean that I'm always at fault, or always have to have the last word. They almost always tend to side with her, letting her tell her side of the story (and leaving out things that I would get in trouble if I had done), and then when I go to tell my side of the story, my sister tried to interrupt to try and keep her little-miss-innocent image intact, and when I continue trying to tell my parents my side of the story (which often involves info that conflicts with my sister), my parents flip out, yelling at me, not letting me continue with my side, interrupting me whenever I manage to get a few words in, and saying multiple times that I always have to have the last word.

Also, today was my parents 25th wedding anniversary, so my two older brothers who live on their own came over for dinner. Dinner and the campfire that followed when smoothly, then it was time for dessert. We had gotten through almost all of dessert with no conflicts, then my sister brings up this morning...

So, this morning I got up earlier than normal because I knew both my sister and I had to shower before school. So as I am gathering my stuff to go shower, my sister (from her side of the room) gets mad at me, asking why I showered every morning, and how she needed to as well, etc. I have told/reminded her multiple times in the past 3 weeks that I have to shower every morning because my hair gets greasy within about 12-16 hours of being washed. She was still annoyed but I got in the shower anyways. I was out of the bathroom by 6:40, and I asked my sister if she had done her morning farm chores yet, as she often does them first then eats after her shower or when I'm driving us to school. She gets annoyed for some reason (because I'm puzzled that she hadn't done them in the 15 minutes she has been up for, maybe?), and I head upstairs to get ready for school. She then heads out to do chores at 6:50, getting back in at 7 to shower. I asked her to hurry as I like to leave for school at 7:20, and she responds with "I know" and gets in the shower. We ended up leaving later than expected, but we're still at school before classes started.

Fast forward to dessert, and my sister starts telling my parents about how she felt pressured this morning cause I was in the bathroom until 7, and that when I got out I was mad she hadn't done her chores yet, blah blah blah.

I let her finish telling her side, then I begin telling my side of the story, as that's how working out situations tends to go, right? Apparently not. At first I told her I checked the time on my phone once I got out of the bathroom, and how I was out 20 minutes before she said I had been. My parents start to get annoyed. I then go on to tell them that I had not been mad about her not having chores done, merely puzzled, as she could eat in the car, but can't do the chores in the car. By this point my parents are mad and my sister is about to cry for some reason. So my parent are yelling at me, and the only way I can get a word in is to yell back, which pisses then off even more. My sister ended up running upstairs in tears (she's very over sensitive), and my parents continue to tell me about how "I always have to get the last word in", and that sort of stuff. (I'm pretty sure they are starting to think that I'm an insensitive bitch...)

So, some of the things they said whilst yelling at me were things like that because of the argument (that I hadn't started), my brothers now felt like they had to go home and couldn't hang around. I storm out onto the back porch to finish my dessert, and end up going to the empty downstairs apartment, where after about 20 minutes my mum comes down, still mad. She tells me that "I'm not allowed to completely spoil their anniversary" and more stuff along that line.

I'm not sue if this story makes any sense-I just typed it all out and am not in the mood to go over it again to see if it makes sense 😂
