Well, I'm going to assume you live relatively close to your parents. Are you married? If so, do you have any children? If you don't have any children and are married; have a child and watch the change in your parents. If you are not married; find a spouse and watch the change in your parents. I speak this as a parent of 3 children. My 2nd child is about your age and not married. My first child lives far away but has given us 2 grandchildren. We love all 3 of our children but each in a special unique way. Do not think that your parents are ignoring you because you are the 2nd child.

im separated with 2 kids and i leave with my parents...sometimes i still feel neglected...my older sister is also married and has 3 children...she once had problems with her husband and lived with my parents, sometimes i feel that the way my parents had treated her when she lived with us is very different with how they treat me...my older sister usually had a lot of authority and my mother really attended to her more often, but right now, i cant decide on my own with out their approval...and my younger sister is still single but she lives with us right now...she's 23 right now and she's free as a bird...when i was her age, i couldnt even go out with my friends...well im a mother now but i still feel the same way...
