This i believe
I believe parents shouldn’t have a favorite child Growing up in my family my dad always had a favorite child. First it happened with my two older sisters Melisa and Yoselin, my oldest sister Melisa was the favorite child back then. Now a days I’m my dad’s favorite child between my older brother Silbino and I. I know most people would think it would be cool to be that favorite child and getting everything they ask for, and sometimes it is but at times it's not the best being the favorite. My brother being older by two years you would think he would have everything I want and everything i don’t have, but nope for us it's the opposite. I remember the day I got my first phone, seeing my brothers face made me feel terrible. I was 8 years old in the 3rd grade, he was 10 in the fifth grade. Since my parents got a divorce a year before all my siblings went to live with my mom and i stayed with my dad. Since I stayed him alone he wanted me to have a phone to call him in case of in emergency or so he can check on me while he was a work. The same week my brother came to visit and the second he saw me on my phone he asked who’s was it, I remember the second I said it was mine he bursted into tears. I felt so bad that I told him he could have the phone but he didn't want to take it. Ever since that day every time I get a new phone I feel horrible and ask him if he wants to switch phone but he always says no. It honestly breaks my heart to see my brother like this, i care about him a lot and i hate when ,my dad favorites me over him. For this reason I believe if parents have a favorite child then won’t all feel loved equally and so they would be jealous of their sibling because of them. -By: Melody Miranda Lorenzo |
