Have you ever been jealous of your sister or brother? Does your parents have favoritism? Are you their favorite child? I can say that in our family, I'm their favorite. Because I'm the youngest? But They were never jealous of me, because of the age gap we have.. My siblings have their own family now. And I think I didn't give my parents any problems...

i have been jealous with my younger brother. not because i thought my parents love him more. it's because he's so smart and so good in everything.. everything i can do he does better. then i realized, he's actually just gets everything he knows from me and just adds a couple of this and that that's why it looks better. i'm not that jealous anymore. it's more of admiration now. my parents would not admit that they have favoritism, under whatever circusmtance i think. but yes, i do think i'm the favorite child! bwhahahaha! because i'm the eldest. i'm the favorite, of my mom at least. sometimes i take advantage of it, but most of the time i can't because of that guilty feeling and besides my younger brothers and sister are already jealous enough. so, i've got to avoid those scenes. heheh!

well, you can't help it if you're the favorite of your parents.. guilt or whatever it is that you feel for your siblings, I think the best way is to talk to them to not be jealous of you, if you're the favorite. just don't make them feel that you're not really the favorite child..
