Why does it seem like younger siblings are the favorites?

[Vegetarian Zombie]

Most recent example:

>Riding in minivan up to Atlanta
>Listening to Contemporary Christian (not my favorite, but some songs I really love)
>Song I love comes on
>Ask to turn sound up
>Mom says, "I'm turning on a movie for George and Charlie (my brothers)"
>I say that they have Nintendo DSes with them
>George says he'd like a movie, but he's fine with game
>Think I get my music now
>As if the screen in the back can turn on so I can see song titles
>Mom says she's turning on a movie for siblings still
>Say, "But I just asked for music."
>Mom ignores

wtf, why do younger siblings get favoritism

Probably because there younger than you.

Way to ignore the entire point of the topic

[Joeboy]

I'm the youngest and I get all the stuff :P

[Dr.Block]

They're younger, so they get special treatment because they can't deal with not getting what they want as well. Or something.

It always feels like this, they aren't don't worry.

I am the younger sibling in my family, and I'm favorited by my mom because I know how to stay on her good side.
Unlike my sister.

[Trogtor]

I'm the youngest in my family, but my brothers and sisters still like me because I let them have it better since I had it better when I was little.

[BlockoCrafter]

I'm the oldest and the favorite.

[MegaScientifical]

The older doesn't need the same kind of care. They should be able to handle not being treated as well, whereas a younger one would whine a lot. I'm the youngest in my family, anyway, even if I'm 18 now.

[LizzyRascal]

I'm the oldest and I'm my dad's favorite. My mom seems to hate us all, though.

[MegaScientifical]

Being the youngest of my family counts as an excuse for my immaturity at 18? There's people in my extended family, my generation but older, that already have children a few years old.

When you're born, your parent's love is focused almost completely on you. It's like that with all of the children in a family. When no kids come after you, all of that love carries with you. It's never transferred to a new child, so you become the favorite.

[Vegetarian Zombie]

That sucks.

[Tingalz]

theres no favoritism just because they're younger than you
