[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 371440, member: 1963"] I've dealt with some of this as an adult. My mother favored my sister growing up. She was cute, outgoing, giggly, into all the "girly" stuff. I was happiest going on fishing trips with my dad...total tomboy. Then, my sister got married and produced the two golden grandchildren. I was infertile. husband and I were never able to have children...she didn't understand why once we found out we both carried a genetic disorder, we decided not to pursue the fertility issues any further. I can blame some of it on my having moved nearly 300 miles away after husband died, but not all of it. There is no question that my sister and my neice and nephew are favored. I understand that--I cannot rush down to help her out. She did fly up here and stay for six weeks when I nearly died of an infection secondary to bowel surgery a few years ago, but there is no way in heck she could make the drive up here. She is 75 years old and getting physically frail with each passing year. Her mind is still as sharp as ever it was (and her tongue, LoL), but arthritis is slowing her way down plus she has other health issues. [/QUOTE]
