My youngest sister sat on my sofa a few days after I gave birth to my third child and stared at me, trying to understand what it was like to sit in a puddle of hormonal soup since she’d never experienced it.
I felt like cancelling Christmas all together after hearing my mother had asked my sister to bring a damn jug of pre-made juice while treating me like a catering company. And I would have too, if it hadn’t been for the fact my kids adore their cousins and my mom’s holiday gathering every year. My mom wanted to spend more time with her, whereas I always got on her nerves and she would say things like, “When you’re here, Kathy, it’s like there are 10 extra people around.” Umm….yeah.
I wanted to run out of the room, but I knew I was wasting my time, and at 16, I just didn’t care if my mom loved my sister more any longer. I cared about getting the hell away from her. As the years passed and my mom continued to give us unequal attention even after we’d addressed it with her, I grew to resent my mom even more. I lost even more respect for her than I already had.
Parents don’t always have the same relationship with each of their kids. Sometimes you are closer to one child than the other, but it doesn’t mean they love the others any less.
