I feel like the 'odd one out' in my family.
I have a younger sister and she is the 'favourite' (it has been helpfully pointed out by others ) It has really come to at head atm because my grandad past away, we've just had his funneral.
Little things like telling me not to visit my gdad in hospital before he died, but then arranging to go over with my sister. I told my dad I wanted to see my gdad at the chapel of rest to say goodbye, he told me he would ring and let me know what time, he never did, so i rang and asked whats happening and my dad told me that he and my sister went that morning and told me not to bother going .
When my dh and i got married my parents told me they weren't going to pay for it, (I didn't expect them to) They did end up giving us £500 after being guilted into it by their friends. Fast forward to today and my sister is getting married and my parents are paying for the whole thing.
My dad and sister make digs at me like "dont know why your doing your studying, you'll never get anywhere" or make money related comments, my dh is a solicitor so we are comfortable, but when i showed them the house we were looking to move to I got comments like "dream on" "oh look finerthings is getting above her station again"
I am probally being sensitive but it's really getting me down
