Families are complicated and sometimes little things lead to drama and conflict. For instance, if parents favor one of their kids more than the other, it might create a toxic atmosphere in the home. It’s important to have a healthy balance and equilibrium in every household.
Recently, a Reddit user asked the ‘AITA community’ if he was wrong for being mad at his parents that they got his older brother a car for his 18th birthday and not on his, and then causing the whole family to be up in arms about it till they came through? The guy was disappointed that he didn’t get an amazing party, his mom’s personal baked cake, and the car that his brother got on his 18th birthday. When he confronted his parents about it, they said that the elder son worked harder and deserved it. OP revealed that he worked hard as well and received good grades, thus he refused to believe his parent’s explanation. Scroll below to read the rest of his story and let us know if you think if favoritism is an acceptable behavior from parents.
