Parents buy 16-year-old daughter a new car for her birthday, give 19-year-old son a book and a gift card after refusing to help him buy a used car: ‘They accused me of being jealous of my sister’
Siblings aren’t always treated the same. It’s not always the best practice for parents to do the same thing for each kid because each kid has different needs. Still, it can sting a little bit for an older child to see their younger sibling getting away with things that they were heavily reprimanded for. Life …

Parents forget their daughter’s 33rd birthday, get angry when her boyfriend wishes her ‘Happy Birthday’ online: ‘Not saying anything and then posting about it was passive aggressive’
