Im so over my parents playing favourites between me and my younger sister. I mean i 25 and they STILL do it. This week Im flat broke. I asked them if I can borrow $10 to buy nappies, and they say no. And yet my younger sister wanted $30 for credit on her phone and she gets it no questions asked. Im sick of it!!! How can I get them to stop?

How old is your younger sister? Maybe they just see her as the baby who can't take care of herself and maybe they see you as the responsable one who can make it. My parents did that my whole life though and they said they new I was going somewhere and that I'd make it better own my own. I put myself threw college with two jobs and being a full time student was hard but I did it and now there the once borrowing money. I've got a great job that pays real good. Just hang in there things will get better.

My younger sister will be 21 at the end of this month. I moved out of home at 16, from age 14 to last xmas Ive been employed almost all the time, with exception of maternity leave after having my 3 kids, its not as if Ive done nothing with my life and Im a nobody, I just dont get it! My younger sister still lives at home, has no job, and bludges off the parents whenever she likes It makes no sense!

Well,don't bother,my friend! Actually,they give her whatever she need just because they know that you sister cannot make a living on her own,and as for you, they may believe that you can earn a living on your own since you are quite an independent girl!
