Am I really petty*

I've always had been a little jealous of my sister since she's the baby and was pampered more

My parents happily took her out to eat for a $100+ meal and got her drinks on her 21st.

My mother didnt for me on my 21st. My sister even got a sweet 16... i didn't..

Im turning 27 and none of my parents exactly asked if i wanted to eat out. They're not obligated too but i do remeber to take my father out to eat for his birthday and my mother. (even so i still get her something) my 24th i paid for every one on my birthday even though they offered.... that was $300..

My 25th-26th nothing.

Whenever i talked about wanting to see a museum on my day off for a early birthday gift im told I'm too old for this crap by mother. Even though she spends most of her money on a tattoo for HER birthday because she said to me "its her birthday" ..

She then half assed wanting to get me tattoo for my birthday because she does make more money than me. ( we both rent together)

I was so excited and yet...never cared to schedule when i asked ( im only off Wednesday amd thursday this week )

I then decided "lets just get steak then" since i haven't jad steak in years. She just gets huffy telling me how I'm 27 and grow up...even though she offered to take me out.

I couldn't last Saturday i got called in on my day off..the only day i could see my father and have dinner with him..

I even work Tuesday 22nd on my birthday

I just feel sad like 1 day out of the year my mother doesn't want to gift me anything... even though i offer her birthday dinner or a gift.

It feels like my own mother doesn't give a shit. It kind of hurts.
I don’t know you but happy birthday.

nope you’re right enjoy your birthday and forget what they said

@SW-User well i might just drink at home or go buy a smoke
I would be pretty upset by the preferential treatment your sister seems to get, too. Wanting to feel special one day of the year isn't asking for a lot, especially when you only want to go out for a meal or to see a museum.
I hope you still do something nice for yourself.

That's not you being petty, that's them acting like spoilt brats.
HellBats · 26-30, F
@KiwiDan it just just feels i shouldn't feel upset but it makes me feel invisible.

@HellBats you have every right to feel as you do. They're basically refusing to meet your needs and trying to manipulate you into doing the same by the sound of it. So fuck them, go and do your thing at the museum.

Happy birthday btw. I don't know where you are but it's 22 March here.
