To accuse my parents of favouritism?

Okay so, last week we all went to my sisters new house for a housewarming dinner.
My parents bought her a bottle of wine and didn't get me anything.
I've never been one to be jealous. However, i feel as though this is blatant favouritism. I have always tried my best to maintain a healthy relationship with my parents and always got them gifts for birthday, Christmas etc.

I just think it wouldn't hurt to get me a random gift for once.

I talked to my dad about this and he tried to brush it off by saying it was a housewarming gift and I should've done the same. I am now refusing to talk to my parents until they get me the same gift.

AIBU?

Another clearly unhinged poster.

Well it wasn't your housewarming so you couldn't expect to receive a gift and I agree, it wouldn't have hurt you to buy your sister a small present.

Do your parents not buy you Christmas and birthday gifts? Sorry if you have already said, I am still on page one.

Your blatant jealousy is very unattractive. If parents do favour one child over another there's nowt you can do about, you have to live your own life independently. There will be others who love you. Sometimes appreciation of a child comes later in life (and don't start a thread ((or a paragraph and preferably not a sentence)), with 'Okay, so').
