Why do my parents ignore me when my sister comes home? :(?

Baby, don't worry about it. I have 2 older brothers who are much more successful than me. I am a 22 year old stay-at-home mother. when my oldest brother (age 30, works on computer for the county makin like $23 an hour) comes over it is all about him. My other brother (age 27, high up in the army. blah blah blah, served in iraq and sh** whatever) comes once every few years and I am once again forgotten. I have lived with my parents on and off for a while because my dad has cancer. I am the one always there for them when they need something. I live 15 minutes away---same distance away as my other brother---but I am the one who is always called to help. the older siblings will always be put first because they are seen less often. same with you, hunny. don't take it personal. your parents love you to death, but they miss their other baby too. like you said, she is a very busy person, so I am guessing she doesn't visit too much. But, I definitely think your feelings are valid. sometime when your sister isn't around, sit your parents down and speak to them like an adult and tell them how you feel. Don't get emotional---until the very end at least. they probably are so involved in your sister's visit that they don't KNOW they are hurting you. talk very adult like....until the end. then start crying. really pull at the heartstrings. I guarantee they will make the effort to make you feel more involved in the future. good luck, hunny
