My parents always spent more time yelling at my brother than me, but this was due to our natures. From the time we were born I was a quiet baby while he was a more fussy and adventurous one. He's approaching 16 and I'm 19 and we're still like that. So because he's getting in trouble more often and therefore being spoken to harshly more often he feels like my parents play favorites. The reality is my mom made every effort she could not to play favorites. If my brother was too young or too immature to do something I wasn't allowed to do it either! I think she gave up on that when they adopted two of my cousins, so I was able to drive at least xD
