Why do my parents treat my sister better than me?

 I have the same problem, I think it's because she's younger than me. She treats my sister so much better than she treats me. She lets my sister get away with anything. My sister is a terrible person and I don't want her to be. Whenever I try to tech her something we fight, and my mom takes my sisters side. She could murder a person and my mom would say it's fine, she's a child, she's younger than you, but she's not she's old enough to understand what's wrong but my mom doesn't teach her anything.  She's not even there half the time, I am.

Before reaching this conclusion, there are many factors to consider. Firstly, what is making you suspect this? Is it something age-related, where your parents are giving extra freedoms to her than to you, due to a higher level of maturity. Do you know all the facts surrounding the "special treatment"? If you are really worried, you could approach either your sister or your parents about this for more clarity.

Sometimes my parents treat my sibling better than me simply because my sibling's younger. I just have to forgive whatever my sibling has done and bear the consequences.

First I want to share with you that I am really sorry to hear that you feel your parents treat your sister better than you. In my personal experience that would make me feel sad, and question what it is about me that makes them treat my sister better...that being shared, would you consider taking stock of this situation, and maybe try to get some perspective, to try to understand if your parents are truly treating your sister better than yo, or if this is perhaps, just perhaps, a perception that you have that isn't actually the case? I would never invalidate how you feel, I just think that, in my personal experience, it is very easy for most of us, as human begins, to get focused on what we percieve as being slighted...another option you could consider is working with a mental health professional. You might also consider focusing on taking grew care of yourself, and spending as much time with friends and other family that support you. I know you asked why your parents treat your sister bette than you, and I will share with you that. personally, in my experience, if the truly do treat your sister better, you may not ever get to know that answer to that question, and that would require a great deal of acceptance on your part, if you are willing to go down that path in your journey with this. However, you could, if you feel comfortable with it, ask your parents to have a heart to heart with you about your feelings on this. Or you might consider writing a letter to your parents if you feel more comfortable with that. You know you and your parents and your feelings and the relationship you have with your parents best, so of course these choices are best made by you. These are just ideas I wanted to share with you from both my personal experience and what I have observed in supporting other friends and families with situations that I perceive as similar to what you briefly asked here.

I don't why, but don't let it get you down. If you aren't feeling supported by your parents, find other people who will celebrate your accomplishments and provide you with the love you need.

Sometimes family can make us feel incompetent, useless and even not worth. However what draws a fine line between positive and negative is our very own interpretation. Even though our parents maybe treating all their children equally we still feel a lack of attention and sometimes a lack of love from them. Our parents treat every child equally but we become so used to that attention and care, that when we feel them getting closer to our other siblings we get scared. We start thinking negatively. Why not think positive and feel that maybe its alright sometime to not be the center of attention. Let things lose, let it out, let people be what they are and not feel so useless by their actions. Take that energy and transform it into something which describes what you are.

I know your parents love you and your sister the same, your sister loves you too. Don't compare yourself to her because you are perfect

That's actually a great question. I have this problem also. I have two sisters one is 18 and the other one is 26. I'm 20 and my parents treat the both of them better than me. It's something that I will never understand. Some people say that age plays a big role in this type of issue, but to me age has nothing to do with it. Maybe they are hard on you because they expect more for you in your life. Maybe they do it because they know that you can do better. I will never know, but those are some things to look at in place of thinking that they are just mean and don't like you for some reason, which I will be honest with you I still feel the same way that you do when it comes to my parents and my sisters, but just try to think positive. I know it will be difficult, but you CAN do it.

At some point, they treat the younger better not because they love her more, but they are just afraid not to live with her as much as they did with you, so they try to give her as much as they can. So drop this thoughts out of your mind and enjoy the family life :)

This is a million dollar question I have been seeking answer for 40 + years now. I heard this exists irrespective of culture, religion, geography, etc. Lately, I developed immunity with that feeling, we can't make them treat equal. It is there problem not mine. I got to take care of my well being everyway possible. In a way, it gave me lots of freedom as I feel I am not obligated to help them in their old age. Don't worry if you are not treated equally to your sister. You have better control on your life than your sister
