I feel like my mom loves my brother more! HELP!!?

I definitely feel like my mom loves my brother more. She always takes his side. here are some examples to prove my point.

GRADES- I get an A plus on a test and my parents just give me the usual OK. But of course, when my brother gets a B or an A he gets to choose what we get to eat for dinner for the next 3 days. It's so unfair!! I am an ALL A student and when he gets C's my mom is still satisfied with him. I got a trophy in the spelling bee and my mom just gave me the pat on the back and said good job. It's so unfair!!

CHORES- I don't make my bed or clean my room and my mom yells at me and then makes me clean HER room. my brother doesn't clean his room and my mom just does it for him. I do the laundry and fold it and I have to put them back where they go. I do my own only. my mom yells at me if I accidentally misplace something(like shorts going in the jeans cabinet). She tells my brother that he has to arrange his clothes but he NEVER does and my mom just does it for him. PS. He gets easy chores like pick up shoes in your room or fix the living room pillows(the living room pillows are never messy.)

DINNER- Just last Thursday we had spaghetti. my mom set up the table that day(i usually do it everyday) and when I got to the table I noticed that my napkin was all wrinkly and there was this thing that appeared to be scum on my fork. I confronted her about it in a nice way but she just ignored me. on the other hand, my brother's fork was probably the cleanest thing I had ever seen and his napkin was perfectly placed. When I excuse myself from the table and say I liked the food, she just says OK and doesn't even look at me but when my brother excuses himself and says he liked it. my mom looks STRAIGHT AT HIM and starts hugging him.

FIGHTS- Me and my brother had a fight not too long ago. it was where I said he's never letting me use the computer and I literally never get to go on. I told my mom about it and she told me that I couldn't use the computer for the rest of the week. I was totally confused! all I said was, "I think he's getting way too much time on the computer. Can't you talk to him so we can work out a fair schedule?" then she told me I couldn't use it! NO FAIR!!

MONEY- I'd say this happend a month ago. We were at the mall and I really wanted 2 pairs of earrings. (2 for $8) and my mom didn't even look at the price and said no. then we were at Game stop and my brother wanted this Rock Band game for his game console or whatever and my mom said yes!! that game cost $26.99!! More than my earrings and she didn't even look at the price! She told me he desserved it more. Oh yeah right, I set up the table,do the laundry,clean my room and my moms,vacuum every 3 days and broom everyday,wash the cars every saturday,clean the glass tables everyday,bust my butt off cleaning the tub,mop every thursday,scrub toilets every saturday,fold the laundry and throw out the garbage while my brother is either playing video games,watching tv,playing on the computer or playing outside with his moron friends.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES- my brother's birthday was June 13th. my mom spent OVER $200 JUST ON PARTY FAVORS AND LIKE $60 ON FOOD! I saw the reciept. She told me to throw it out and I saw it. ok the party was expensive. We had it at our house. there was games and all and it was fun. the next day we all had to help clean up. my dad cleaned the outside, me and my brother cleaned the living room and my mom cleaned the dining area. I asked my mom if I could have a party because I really wanted to raise money to get myself something really cool. She said NO! ~1 HOUR LATER~ We're all finished cleaning and my brother brings up a new cellphone for himself. I thought it was unfair how I'm the oldest and I have the crappiest phone known to man. my mom said yes he could have a new phone. my mom YELLED at me saying that when it's my birthday that people will give ME money. I told her that I never had a party and that people can'y give me money if I don't have one. She ignored my true statement. my brother didn't even have enough to buy the phone so my mom just bought it for him with some of her money. I asked if I could buy this phone that cost $79(less than the cost of my brothers. his was $109.) She embarrased me in front of the whole store. She yelled at me and made a big fuss. I just returned to my seat.

GIFTS- my mom showers my brother with gifts almost everyday. Just yesterday she bought him this shirt. I asked if she could start doing that for me and she said NO! last week, she got him this water-proof watch. SO UNFAIR!! If my mom does give me a gift then it's something I have or something in a color I absolutely HATE!

PICTURES- Theres barely and pictures of me in my own house. They're mostly of my brother. It's like my mom's embarrased to have me as a child. Once you walk in my house and look to your

It does sound as though you are right and it is a very difficult subject to bring up. If you ask them they will probably deny it and nothing will change.
Can you not tell an aunty or someone dear to you that's family and perhaps they will sort something out.
It won't be that they don't love you, they will. it may just be that both of them wanted a son and just can't see what they are doing or how you are feeling.
I have a grand daughter and a grandson. I lean to him more but try to stop myself. It's not because I don't love the girl, I love them both so much I'd die for either of them, it's just that all my life I wanted a son but had three daughters.
I have treated them fairly and whatever I do or buy for one, I do the very same for the other.
Good luck

you should confide this with your close relative or someone close to you so that you guys can work this out ... i pity you ...

Run away for 2 days and come back and theyll say why did you run away? and explain you problem and if they keep favouritng your brother do it all over again.

show her this page! Maybe if she sees all this she can see how she has been acting. it sounds like she needs to see a therapist or something! Talk to other relatives too if you can. they might be able to talk to her and set her straight.
Good Luck!

It seems as if you are having a raw deal alright, the days were the woman do all the work and the man does nothing are long gone.

I think mother's do (without intention) lean slightly more towards the son especially if he is an only son, I think maybe you should go to your dad and ask him if you could have a chat and then explain to him how you are feeling, but don't get angry and you should also remember perhaps he does not see this, explain about your grades and the earrings and the party and all the things you need to tell him, say you are upset about it and how unfair it is to have to do most of the cleaning, you should also include how much you love both your mum and brother but it hurts to be left out and explain about the pictures, perhaps your mum is unaware of hurtful she is being and a little help from dad might be the way forward. best of luck hun xxx

Talk to your mom about this. Tell her that you are feeling like she likes your brother more. If that does not help, try talking to your Dad. Maybe he can fix it. Hope this helps!:)
