Being raised with a sibling is a thoroughly unique experience, to the point where anyone who has grown up as an only child can never comprehend the sorrow of your mother treating your sibling like royalty. When mothers mistreat their children, the children notice, and it impacts them for the rest of their lives. When you feel like your siblings get all the attention, it can be challenging to cope. When one child appears to be less driven in areas such as sports or school, the mother may feel compelled to give them more attention or push them, leading to one child feeling unloved. Consider the reason for the treatment you’re getting —you might not be courteous as your siblings or do things that irritate them.
