Today, my sister was dumped by her boyfriend. As my mother was comforting her, I overheard her say "Honey, it's okay, you're the pretty one. Think of those worse off than you. Think of your sister, she might never get a boyfriend." FML

FYI for people who don't know, communisim is where everyone is equal, there are no social classes (rich=government employees), people get paid the same, have the same houses and cars, etc. The reason people think it is so bad is that a lazy, live-with-parents type person gets the same amount of money for doing nothing as a neurosurgeon gets for saving lives on a regular basis.  

Everyones equal until a dictator takes over. Communism is impossible.

I think that's a sign that you need to change some things in your life.

I don't understand why some mothers are that way and say things like that. My mom did the same thing to me. My sister was always the pretty one, and I wasn't even called the smart one. (Even though my sister and I tested 1 IQ point away from each other, she was the smart one as well.) What you need to realize is that you're probably pretty, too, and that you'll have something that your sister won't have, which is a sense of personal strength and responsibility, and a good personality. If your sister ends up like mine, she'll think that the world revolves around her, that she can do anything without repurcussions, and she'll eventually alienate everyone around her because of it. I, on the other hand, am not that way. Not to mention, before my mother died, we had many long talks. It came out that mom DID think I was pretty, but she couldn't tell me why she didn't tell me to my face, other than to say it was because I was a tomboy, and my sister was a frilly girl, which is something she always wanted in a daughter. I'm sorry that your mother said that to your sister and you overheard it. I bet you're at least cute, and your mother - like mine - has some screwed up reasons for saying what she does. Hopefully, your mom realizes what she's doing before it's too late, unlike my mother, who finally said what I needed to hear 6 months before she died, but 34 years of me feeling bad about myself. Some mothers never say it, and they don't realize the pain it causes - and also the competition between the sisters. Oh, and also realize that some girls grow into their looks, so they could be gangly or not as attractive as kids and teens, but end up absolutely gorgeous women. Good luck.

I have the same thing happening to me. MY sister is the prettiest, the skinniest, the smartest etc etc etc. Turns out that I now have a loving husband, I'm about to graduate from university, and I'm losing weight and finding out that many people think I'm prettier than my sister. She has become the town bicycle, everyone wants a ride.... my mom is also having to get my sisters high school grades at a learning center where she pays 1000$ a course, and shes taking 7 there because all her teachers 'hate' her and wont give her the grades she 'deserves'. She's pushing everyone away, getting whatever she wants, and my mom still thinks the sun shines out of her ass because she's trying to live vicariously through my sister. Its ****** up, I'm sorry your mom was like mine.
