Why does mom love my older bro so much more ?

for his 18th birthday she bought him a 1962 corvette stingray. and gave me roller blades for my 18th birthday. his college tuitiion was paid for plus she got money for living expenses, i had to take out a $50000 loan. now for his 30th birthday she is building him a house at Hilton Head. She is now allowing me to stay at home for my last year of college as long as i pay rent ($350/month + 1/2 of utilities and gas for the car). i'm much darker than the rest of my family...perhaps i was adopted...i need to look into this..any suggestions ?

Why does mom love my older bro so much more ?
haha with the difference in skin tone sounds like you were probably just a mistake from the mailman!! She probably can't stand you and wishes you never were...! Dude like seriously i saw this stuff on CSI and they can find your real dad... forget your mom, steal her money and run w/ it!
Reply:Woah. Ask her. Confront her.


Honestly, I would have.


Use your examples.





"Mom, we need to talk." Sit her down. "I want to be treated fairly, I would appreciate it if you listened, to the whole thing"


Pause. "I think you are treating me and _your_bro's_name_ differently. I feel upset you are treating him better." Let your mom respond. "For his 18th birthday, you got him a car. I got roller blades." Pause "His colledge tuition was paid for, aswell as living expenses. Why was mine not? Why do I have to pay rent for living with you? Why for his 30th birthday you're getting him a house?" Let her respond. "I want to be treated fairly.." That's what I'd say.
Reply:How old are you??


You said building him a home at Hilton Head for his 30th


but you are allowed to stay home for your last year of college.


So you are still in college...just wondered if your life style may be something that she does not approve of..have you ever had a big disagreement with her that she may still be holding


over your head. Do you and your brother have similar personalities? I just have questions because wonder what could be the reason..Is she closer to him . Like he visit more or suck up ??? Got to be something we didn't hear.
Reply:talk to her....be open and honest, its all you can do.


explain to her how you feel, be calm and genuine, and if she reacts badly then....her loss


dont let her favouritism ruin your life, make the effort to straighten it out and if she doesnt respond, try and move on...i know its difficult and you've got a right to be upset but dont let it take over your life


good luck xox
Reply:i say bring it up with her. it sounds like extreme favoritism. she should know how it makes you feel. and i guess you can look into the adoption thing
Reply:My god your mum sounds like a *****. You should confront her about this before you do something that you regret.

Guys:would you?
Yeah, I would. Tm girls are cool to go out with because they can share alot of your interests but the feminine side can give you the love you need! You sound cool! And thanks for answering my question!
Reply:I'm not a boy, and I'm not into girls, but why wouldn't guys want to go out with girls like that? I also think you're talking about yourself, so I'd tell you; don't worry about it. Some guys really find it cool that girls like sports as much as they do. It's like a plus. And you say that you have a feminine side, you made it. Don't worry, I think they'd call it sexy.
Reply:Of course guy's would. Just so long as you let them win.





Not kidding either, they may claim they don't care if you win, but I can assure you they do.


My wife beat me at golf, I thought it was a fluke, so I took her again, and again she beat me.


Turns out she was a natural, always hit the ball straight.


It really bothered me, I was suprised at how much it bothered me. But in the end, I divorced her!





Though that wasn't the reason.
Reply:umm.. Thats hard to answer.. The girl that I am seeing just now is totally into her sports ie Snowboarding, Swimming.. Mountain Climing .. And I thought that was hotttt especially the swimming part beacuse.. well.. swimmers bodys.. I will say no more.


But If you have a feminine side, and a great personallity.. Funny and stuff.. then you will have no problem!
Reply:Yes, with the understanding that my disability gets in my way of participating, but I am a great spectator and an avid sports junkie.
Reply:Yes. Athleticism is a great quality to have. Be strong in who you are and you'll find the right person.





I'm still waiting too. She's out there somewhere for me.
Reply:I play football, hockey, snowboard, skateboard, rollerblade, and hunt and my BF loves me. I'm a tom boy and was raised in the sticks... if you can't handle that you don't deserve her.
Reply:Of course ! You girls are cute . lol And usually know more about cars than I do.
Reply:Yes, she does, but why change a good thing; enjoy what you got. A playmate!
Reply:yup, cause it sounds like she can keep up with me.
Reply:mine loves to play sports...thats one cool thing we have in common :)
Reply:I know I would date you. :)
Reply:yes because if we had kids she would be active with them like i would
Reply:yea!

Am I self absorbed?

OK so heres the deal I've just moved to a much smaller place which is hard cause I'm maybe used to a little luxury, but I'm still intact with the real world, I'm gonna start a new school. Naturally I'm nervous, and the place which I'm going to has UNIFORM, and its fugly. I have a little bro and sis which are great, and I do try and help mum when I register she might need help. Me and dad dont have the best relationship, he called me fat once, it really hurt. Mum agrees but she'd never say it to my face. While unpacking I thought that if I find my old roller blades me and mum could go out around the park or something, be healthy.





I told her about my idea and she started snapping at me telling me I was so self absorbed 'all I ever think about is myself' . I dont think thats true, can you people please tell me if I'm self absorbed and what the hell my mum is thinking? (and please leave out the whole stupid teen part, its quite offensive)


thanks!

Am I self absorbed?
no not at all.. idk what your parents are thinking, but anyone going through problems is going to be upset and want to talk about it w/ other people. and its great your trying to help your parents. i know personally with my dad too, he always thinks hes right, saying this and that, but he doesn;t understand at all. you have to be right there and go through exactly what your going through to understand. im sorry i hope everything gets better, but your deff not self absorbed!
Reply:Your mom might be stressed from the moving. But that doesn't give her an excuse. You aren't self absorbed at all for wanting to spend time with her. Give her some space then when things get less busy, talk to her about it and tell her she hurt your feelings
Reply:You're mom might just be stressed from the move and having to put you kids into different schools. Try sitting down with her and asking her if everything's ok, and just let her know you were only wanting to spend some quality time with her amid all the chaos you all have been going through lately.

Why are Segways so expensive?

They cost an arm and leg


almost 3,000 for a used one! And 5,000 for a new one.





Honestly what is their purpose and why alienate the majority of the buyer's market to appeal to wealthier people?





I'd rather buy a very expensive skateboard set, a pair of roller blades, a pro mountain bike and even a used civic instead of those overpriced pieces of crap.





If you own a segway please give me 5 valid reasons to their purpose in society.

Why are Segways so expensive?
Just a toy for people with more money than brains
Reply:because they have a complex balancing system... theyre motorized too.
Reply:the reason so expensive because they look like alien technology
Reply:Because they were seen on the Ellen Degeneres show.

I want to be healthy but....?

I'm 5 ft 150 lbs but I hate working out on machines it's not fun!! I like to rollerblade, jump on my pogostick, ride my bike and take my dogs for a walk (all 3, with my mom) is this as good as exercising on a treadmill? I live in PA, and let's just say last weekend (Saturday) it SNOWED. Yeah...Pa is still cold. It's around 46-50 or something degrees here. So is it ok to go outside to exercise on my bike, roller blades, pogo stick...? Thanks and if I do one of those every day (well almost every day) will I lose weight thanksss


BTW I eat healthy

I want to be healthy but....?
riding your bike and stuff is just as good as working on a machine. on a machine its just a more constant work out. theres not point in wasting your time on one if your not having fun though. worrying about that kinda stuff just kinda ruins ur day though. enjoy yourself what ever your doing. if you worked out alllll the time and constantly worried about it sure you would be healthy but whats the point of having a healthy body if you cant enjoy it.
Reply:All of those are great exercises, and they'll help you burn off calories very well. Just eat healthy, and cut down on any red meats. Animal fat is the worst thing when you try to lose weight. It's why vegetarians always seem to be healthier.
