I threw my parents favorite line back in their faces during an argument and it humiliated them I’m currently 27 years old growing up I had always been the kid who my parents didn’t give a crap about as the middle child it was always oh your sibling needs us more and my needs
Were quite often just not met any attempt to get my parents to do something with her for me was met with being called Selfish and told my siblings needs came before mine right now neither of my siblings have special needs they are just both kind of spoiled
Brats my brothers 30 and 25 are the golden oldest child in their precious baby I was The Unwanted girl child in the middle they made this clear in all sorts of ways from not wanting to pay for my school supplies and wanting me to figure it out to the way birthdays were
Treated to Christmas forget them showing up do anything for me but I was expected to drop everything to show up to any and everything my brothers did my brothers both got brand new cars for their 16th birthdays but I didn’t need one I got a rusty bike they found in the garage sale
And told if I could fix it up they guessed I could have it I fixed it up and they gave it to my brother instead

Here’s the full story for those who also got aggravated by this video lmao:
Am I Wrong for Throwing a Line my Parents Always Used to Use On Me Back In Their Faces?
Throwaway because I'm pretty certain my brothers have Reddit, and I don't want them to know my main.I (27F) have always been the kid who my parents didn’t give a crap about. As the middle child, it was always, “Oh, your sibling needs us more.” And my needs were quite often just not met. Any attempt to get my parents to do something with or for me was met with being called selfish and told my siblings needs came before mine right now. Neither of my siblings have special needs; they are just both kind of spoiled brats. My brothers (30 and 25) are the golden oldest child and their precious baby. I was the unwanted girl child in the middle.
They made this clear in all sorts of ways, from not wanting to pay for my school supplies and wanting me to figure it out, to the way birthdays were treated, to Christmas. Forget them showing up to anything for me, but I was expected to drop everything to show up to any and everything my brothers did. Brothers both got brand new cars for their 16th birthdays, but I didn't need one. I got a rusty bike they found at a garage sale and told if I could fix it up, they guessed I could have it. I fixed it up, and they gave it to my brother instead. I moved in with my aunt on my 18th birthday.
I’m getting married to a wonderful woman, and my parents just recently found out. They called me several kinds of butthurt as to why I hadn’t told them and then immediately started in on how I couldn't do certain things because of my brothers. I can’t have a nice chicken or fish dish; it has to be steak or pizza or they won't eat it. I can't be too affectionate because you know how guys get around two girls being together. I can't have a wedding party if they can't be involved. I finally snapped. I told them that neither they nor my apparently perverted brothers were invited. That for once, something was about me, not them. I told them that I had no interest in making my wedding about their crappy sons, who have achieved nothing in life so far because they babied them to the point of uselessness. My wedding was not about what they wanted.
My mother cried, and my father asked why I was treating them so poorly. I said, “You’re just being selfish, my needs come before yours right now.” There was a stunned silence before my father told me that it wasn’t fair that I would say that to them because this was a different situation. I hung up and blocked them both, but my cousin, who I’m close to, said they were making a huge ordeal out of it. They’ve been calling other family members and then being surprised when they’re told yes, they can believe I’d not want them making my wedding about them or my brothers. My mother apparently posted a long woe is me, where did I go wrong post on FB but took it down after my aunt lit her up in the comments about where she went wrong.
My older brother reached out just once to ask if he really wasn’t invited, and I said yeah, he really wasn’t. He seemed a little upset, but at this point, I don’t even care. All he said after that was that I shouldn’t have said what I did to our parents and that they are upset they aren’t invited to the wedding, and even if I didn’t invite him or our other brother, I should at least invite them. I refused and hung up. My parents and brothers don’t know when or where we’re getting married, I never intended to invite them, but eloping is starting to look pretty good right about now.
My grandmother has reached out only once to say while she kind of understands why I don't want them there, it was kind of a blow low to throw the line they always used on me back in their faces. I thought maybe I'd get some 3rd party opinions here, but I don't think I was wrong.
Sad story. But you will be fine! Much love!
Nah this is cap
Cap lol
Sounds very familiar. It was only my brother and I growing up, I was always compared to him, why can't you get good grades like your brother or get in the National Honor Society, be popular, he got all new clothes at the start of the school year, I got 1 new pair of jeans and had to use clothes from the previous years, he got new Nikes, I got generic K-Mart blue light special. It wasn't until recently that I suspect that I was an accident or mom wanted another boy, not a girl.
Nothing hurts more than the feeling of not being wanted or loved by your own mother and, growing up, couldn't understand why.
I'm the youngest, and I can relate
