‘I am not the golden child, I just wasn’t a pain in the ***’: Delinquent daughter accuses kid sister of being favored, gets put in her place
I know all too well that sometimes siblings are treated differently for a good reason.

Freeloading sister refuses to adjust to off-the-grid new home: ‘Worried for these children’
I’ve always wanted to live «off the grid.» The way I live now is so «on the grid» it’s nuts.

‘She accused me of ruining her wedding’: Graphic designer refuses to pay for wedding dress after sister insults her career
Weddings are a powder keg of emotions. They’re expensive, stressful to plan, and are supposed to be the pinnacle of every woman’s life (if you read Ladies Home Journal from 1950).
