It’s a creepy reality to watch your parents grow old. Once vivacious and tossing us onto their shoulders at the amusement park or cradling our sleepy-eyed sibling into the house after a road trip, seeing them lose their youthful vitality is a sobering thought. However, while our heroes age, their wisdom and legacy also become more important. As the years go on, time with our parents becomes more valuable—unless, of course, your Golden Child sibling is far more precious to them. 

The middle-aged woman in our next story always knew that her brother was Mom’s favorite, however, in this twisted family, apparently, the fact that she was Daddy’s Little Girl made her mother’s dislike for her more palatable. However, as her father got older and his health declined, their parents’ favoritism game started getting in the way of their family’s (fair) asset distribution. 

Keep scrolling for all the details of this family drama that will make you a little bit relieved that you don’t have any money or assets to divide amongst your family. Because when the patriarch passes, the buzzards start to circle, and being Mom’s least favorite child starts to be more and more apparent.
