“It’s not jealousy to feel undervalued. I understand your sister has been through hell, but siblings of sick kids always seem to get lost in the panic. It’s entirely up to you, but if it were possible, I’d really talk to your parents about how this made you feel. You stepped up and took care of the household while never giving up on your sister.
\nI think they’re probably scared, and I get that the diagnosis changed everyone’s lives, but if they continue to paint this picture of you in their heads that you’re resentful and jealous, that can so negatively impact your relationship with them in the future.”\u00a0Arakarani \/ Reddit\n

“Yes, your sister went through a lot, but so did you. I understand that while she was going through treatment she may have gotten more gifts from friends, family, etc. But when giving gifts to you and your sister for birthdays, Christmas, etc., their values should be equal.”\u00a0sammac66 \/ Reddit\n

“Your parents are harming all of their children with the special treatment they are giving one of the kids. That kid has now learned that she just needs to be sick, and she will get all of the love, attention, and gifts.”\u00a0Beautiful-Elephant34 \/ Reddit\n\n

“This would be the end of me helping out. Do your chores and move on. It’s sad that your sister has to deal with cancer. But the gap between gifts is too much. And if you keep giving, your resentment will keep building.”\u00a0Aggressive_Cup8452 \/ Reddit
\n“I’d get more hours at work so you can save more for that car. If you can’t babysit anymore, well, too bad. You are just doing what they said, right?
\nAlso, I would study more in a quiet library or start volunteering in your community and so on. All those extra chores you have done to help out, nope. They can do them now that the treatments are over.”\u00a0Round_Butterfly2091 \/ Reddit
\n“This is a surefire way for your parents to create a situation where you resent both them and your sibling. I understand wanting to do something nice for your sister after what she’s been through, but the gifts are really disproportionate, and I’m not sure why they thought that was a good idea. Especially if you’ve been carrying the weight of chores and housework for others while your sister has been sick.”\u00a0Honest-Sector-4558 \/ Reddit\n
Navigating the complex emotions of their sister’s triumph over\u00a0cancer\u00a0and the disparate gifts they received has been a journey of its own. In the end, their sister’s health and happiness were the true rewards, and that was something they all received.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
