my dad once bought my sister an iPhone 5s for my birthday. I got a 2 liter of Pepsi.

When it's your parent's birthday give a gift to the other and act confused if they ask why.

I feel like there is more to this story

A MACBOOK!?!??!? FHL TOO. hard to believe some people still use that trash

I feel like there were many people who misread this... They got your brother a MacBook for YOUR birthday?

Wow... that's bullshit! I'm so sorry OP...

I bought a MacBook and I'm 12 but I bought with my own money from chores

hopefully they got you something better op.

nothing to do wid being ungrateful, if OPs parents got the sibling a green granny apple n OP liked green apples but got oh say... a rotten banana n nohing equivalent like even a red apple then it has nothing to with being grateful, its just unjust, n ud think the ppl who bore u, ure blood wud b da most just or kind to u.... datz wat itz about I know OP, coz even as a 36 yr adult i bear the mark of favoritism. it does do something to u if its ure own parents. even if its trivial. i think datz y tho i lov my mom, im not close to her, n wnt b, automatically my whole life my support sys r friends etc. as i grew up, it does make an impact

It's their money. They get to decide how they spend it. Grow up.

Yes, it's just pretty shitty of them to show such outright favouritism and so I think it's understandable for OP to be upset.

Please read the FML again very carefully. Because you're making yourself sound stupid.

A couple years ago my brother got an xbox one for Christmas and I got a teacup. Still, I can't believe your sister got a better present than you on YOUR birthday. That sucks!

Re-read the FML. It was OP's brother, not sister
