The most blatant cases of FAVORITISM (Reddit Stories r/AskReddit)

what's the most blatant case of favoritism you've ever witnessed one when I was 16 my 13 year old sister got a brand-new cellphone I never had a phone and I still didn't at the time too I worked three jobs in college just to survive my parents paid my sister's tuition rent in bills they also got her a brand-new car I spent my college years working and using public transportation my sister spent hers partying and going on road trips with her brand-new car three when I graduated college I got nothing my sister got a brand-new MacBook which was stolen a few months later because she left it in her unlocked car for my mother constantly told my sister that she loved her growing up my mother only said it to me once in the context of I love you but I don't like you I have plenty more of these stories and no I don't speak with my parents or sister anymore how are you doing now and how is your sister I went no contact with my entire family a couple years ago it's been lonely but so much more peaceful I'm in therapy to heal from all the abuse my family put me through what I posted is only the tip of the tip of the iceberg my sister is a mess honestly she can't hold down a job and she's awful with her finances she's 31 and my mother does everything for her pays her bills raises her kid and so on my sister is going nowhere in life and I think it's partly because my mother enabled her too much growing up and she never learned how to be self-reliant my problem anymore as the saying goes if you raise your kids you get to spoil your grandkids if you spoil your kids you will have to raise your grandkids growing up my step-brother was obviously my stepmothers favorite child he could get away with anything I am fairly certain she's never actually punished him for anything and he was well aware of this the most blatant case that this was when the nanny software on his computer caught him searching for adult video so immediately my stepmother goes after me accusing me of going on to his computer to search those videos did your dad ever say or do anything about her favoritism did she favored him over any of her own biological children yeah he was also definitely her favorite over my stepsister but she was barely ever around she lived with her dad full-time because it was way closer to the school she went to it was like an hour commute every day from our house to the schools my steps of Ling's went to so it never really came up and my dad acknowledged her bias but also told me there wasn't really anything he could do about it and it's not like she was treating me abusively if something wasn't actually my fault the accusation wouldn't stick and I didn't get particularly harsh punishments when I did do something it was just that my brother never got any punishments for anything jokes on them though now I'm her favorite because I'm the only one of her children that isn't an [ __ ] my grandma always yelled to my cousin's but she always pampered me and bragged about me to others she didn't even try to hide the difference in treatment and I hate it when that happened even the little child me recognized and despised it very much obviously my relationship with my cousins isn't good till now my grandma always did that to my sister and me she would tell me I was ugly and tan and how my sister was the lighter skin I was 11 and she was 17 so I didn't get why she compared us it made the relationships with my sister complicated and I hated her for years I'm 18 now and she would have changed her mind but my grandma passed away when I was 13 getting special treatment when you don't want it is an awkward thing it's not fun having someone tell everyone to look to you as a shining example of goodness and you're trying to think of a way to tone it down because you know that you're not going to have any friends after an authority figure tells everyone to be more like you my mom told my brother a very boring family secret and he told me I mentioned it to her and she got pissed off and said he shouldn't be telling other people about that it's just for family I had to remind her that I am also a member of the family maybe there is a second secret had a stepbrother who was my same age he asked my stepmom if he could spend the night at a friend's house and she said yes I then asked her the same question and she said no I complained that other kid got to go and said it was unfair so she grounded me that was 23 years ago and I'm still bitter my twin asks if he can go see his friend mom 9/10 time says yeah I asked once and this is what I get you have friends this is probably why I have no confidence in myself Norden people and authoritative positions this is exactly the reason why I didn't tell her about my depression until the beginning of the school year I've had depression from like sixth grade from being told I was so smart and you'll go so far in life then the grading system changed and Here I am nearly failing a class I'm too socially awkward to ask for help too proud my pride the only thing left from my childhood my mother will never know how hard it was to be told by her mother I should just disown you one of my classmates always got better scores on comparable essays in high school literature class I suggested it was favoritism so we decided to write each other's papers to see what happened our study found that no matter who wrote the paper if I turned it and I got a worse grave than if she turned it in so strange I had a class with a weekly essay and I consistently got 90% so I went all out outlines notes worked on it all week 80% the next week I smoked weed wrote it out in 20 minutes and submitted it 100% there is no possible way the stoned single draft essay was perfect did that with my girlfriend in college one of our profs gave her higher grades than me no matter what I wrote two essays and we each turned in one she got the higher grade professor had a reputation for giving higher grades to cute female students my nephew school had two students who won the contest all by themselves they got a chance to meet the prime minister and show their work but at the last moment the principal insisted to add his daughter in the team this is why a principal's kids shouldn't go to the same school at least those two kids still got to meet the minister I won an Olympiad programming contest my team member didn't even show up for the competition she still got a medal in her picture in the paper with our principal I didn't at the end of our senior party that was organized for my school they had a raffle with a bunch of expensive prizes every single parent who helped organize the raffle had a child who won big and the main organizer had her son win the 2,500 dollar grand prize with the not suspicious speech of and of course the winner of the grand prize is Charlie yeah [ __ ] that [ __ ] I walked out with a five dollar gift card to an ice cream shop that had already gone out of business my friend is the middle child he had to find a job when he was 16 to pay for his car by himself work full-time through college to pay for it by himself and had to pay for his new house and his parents didn't offer any help in fact they packed up all his stuff while he was at work and dropped it off in his garage and said good luck while his siblings did not have to work in high school or college parents paid for their cars and paid for most of their college when his older brother got a house they offered to help pay parents gave my sister a car and paid for her college and I received a check for $100 she's a loser and they wasted so much money on her she totaled multiple cars and has a master's in bachelor's degree in psychology and accounting she works at a gas station update slash info both girls she's a couple years older since her first job she's never liked being told what to do and had a bad attitude but a good student I think the real world scared her so she stayed in school she's been at the gas station for a few years I don't have a degree but I'm an Account Manager for a luxury dealership in the first grade I had a problem with a certain kid and his friends constantly trying to bully me one day he Kyle and his two best friends surrounded me pinned me by the arms and drew their fists back to punch me when suddenly the teacher on duty blew her whistle she then proceeded to scold three boys for causing a scene with their violent behavior and by three boys she meant the two friends of the boy and me who was on the ground by the other - she sent us to the office we all three were forced to sit every break without being able to play for three weeks even in the office the other two boys were saying I was innocent and that Kyle was guilty that they all three were attacking me the boys even told the teacher that it was the three of them that were about to attack me her response was no he was the only one not doing anything I heard yelling egging you all along even the boys admitted the only thing I was yelling was please no I was totally innocent even the principal wasn't hearing it she actually made me feel worse about it because in her words you are the first problem students this school has had since we started that student of the month program first day sitting out from recess I stared at the ground on the verge of tears and the teacher forced me to watch the other kids play as a punishment I deserved to watch other kids have fun every day Kyle would run by and throw sand in my face with the teacher less than five feet from me hula truly turned her face away as she smirked Kyle the boy who never got in trouble was the son of that teacher's best friend who by the way was the local school bus driver who backed into her horse trailer earlier that year and to war at all - Helen tried to take no responsibility for it she blamed us for her hitting the horse trailer because we put it in her way truth of the matter was that she was being lazy the bus driver before her just went up the road maybe 400 feet ahead and circled back around she would pick me and my sister up and then put the bus in Reverse backing into a small ditch into our front yard where we parked all the cars in trailer to make things work she never actually looked all that much when she was backing up she designated a couple kids to be her watcher I guess they thought it would be funny and not let her know she was about to majorly F up Edit this kid has issues I remember hearing about a time he tried to literally kill his older brother the family kept a boom box in their bathroom that plugged into the and played music while they were in the shower slash bath one day his older brother was taking a bath when Kyle came running in and threw the boombox into the bath thankfully it ripped the cord from the back end so nothing ever came of it other incidents besides this happened but I can't recall the details of what all they were do you have such stories about favoritism leave a comment and subscribe to this channel if you want to see more same videos [Music]
