Why does mother always favor her sister?

Both parents will like younger children. My friend told me that she knew from an early age that her parents preferred her sister. When studying abroad, she can bear great academic pressure and loneliness without friends. But one night, she saw her parents replace the WeChat group head with three toothbrushes, one big and one small, which belonged to her parents and sister, but not her own.

At that time, she was devastated. She cried in the dormitory and said, "The three of them look so happy." Because most of the students around us are only children, few people can feel the feeling of being under the same roof with their families but not being paid attention to. More often, they will look forward to saying, "I envy you having a sister!" " It must be nice to have company. When she answered "fine", even she felt compelled to laugh.

Later, when I grew up, I discovered that eccentric parents are always similar, and neglected children also have their own sufferings. Our generation has a second child at home, who is generally much younger than us. Some are seven or eight years old, and some are older. If we say that we are happy, then everyone will respond with the praise of "this child is really sensible", but as long as we express some dissatisfaction, we may be criticized and said to be narrow-minded.

It may be some trivial things in life at first. For example, when parents enter the door, they will hug their children first, and relatives will visit them. The first thing they said when they entered the door was, "Where's the little one?" Slowly, taking care of ta has become part of your responsibility. If ta did something wrong, it may be that her brother/sister didn't take a good head, didn't set a good example, or you didn't take good care of her. However, if you are wronged or complain a few words, you may be scolded by your parents: "Are you narrow-minded again?" "You are so big, your brother/sister is still young. What's wrong with favoring ta? "

A friend said that every holiday, her parents would proudly say to their relatives and friends, "Don't look at our two children, we are never partial." She was just speechless.
