AmericaTheBrave 06/02/20 2:36:24 PM #1:	He's unemployed, collects disability, unmarried, lives alone, barely has any friends and yet my parents still talk about him glowingly and whenever we have family gatherings my grandmother still loves telling the same stories of him as a baby. Meanwhile, I have a steady job, am married, own a house and generally well-off and I still feel like I'm second fiddle to him.

Wii_Shaker 06/02/20 7:25:27 PM #24:	My younger brother used to be the favorite because was going to school for accounting and always had good grades. I dropped out of college and picked up an art apprenticeship, much to the dismay of my family. I eventually became successful and was running my own shop while my brother's grades continued to slip and he borrowed money from every one of my family members, including myself but ultimately never graduating. It was bizarre to see their attitudes change towards me and watch my brother become the object of their ridicule. --- "He busted in, blessed be the Lord Who believe any mess they read up on a message board" -MF DOOM <cite>Wii_Shaker posted [p:940094115] in Why is my ...
