Would you be annoyed?

The story of families everywhere I am afraid if you do the right thing it seems to go unnoticed if you rob a bank everyone gets concerned and takes an interest in you.My sister had a young boy move in with her he was eighteen at the time after she divorced and the whole family swammped her saying how happy they were for her.I lived on my own for three years having the odd boy friend,then married a lovely man ,had a child ,my husband looked after my two teenagers and treated them like his own ,did not drink or go out,did everything right.Even before we married he would treat my kids to things,married me and made me very happy.No one took a blind bit of notice of his kindness and consideration.My ex husband was a real swine with drinking and violence ,women ect.Now they thought my first husband was a wonderul person.I really give up with families,just do it for yourself and live your life everyone on here are proud of how hard you have worked and are glad for you starting a teacher training job ,we all think thats brilliant.There is an old saying "you can choose your friends but your family you are landed with".Very true to,just do it for yourself and make a wonderful life for yourself.

My guess is that your family knows that you are more capable of succeeding in life. They know you can get further and achieve so much more than her. Granted, they should praise you as well, but they know it's easier and probably expect it of you as you are the brighter one. They probably see her as what she is, a lazy bum on welfare, but she is pushing herself to go further so therefore they are proud of that. She needs the praises to move forward in life, and as much as it sux not having the praises, you can continue to move forward without those praises. So just keep your head held high and push forward to show you will have a better success than her!

Yeah dude, i can understand your situation right now but i am not sure as how to tell you. Even i had the same situation with me. When i want to do something no ones praises me but for others the praise is always top on their tongue.

Well I think your folks only wanted her to feel that she's not alone and that eventhough she has abit screwed up everything they still support h er no matter what...I think they're just doing everything to cheer her up and make her realize that it's not the end of the world for her..I'm sure they're very very proud that you'll be the first to graduate college..I'm pretty sure they'll be preparing something,a surprise maybe..just be easy on things..try to support her too maybe you'll realize everything that your folks do..
