Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML
Today, I received an award from my school rewarding me for my honor roll and my cheerleading. When I brought the certificate home my mom congratulated me and hugged me. I worked really hard for this and all my dad had to say was, "Try this flavor of Doritos." FML
Today, my family yelled at me for being a "selfish disappointment." My crime? Not being able to help my sister's boyfriend do his homework while I'm working on my class finals. FML
Today, I overheard my dad telling his work buddy that he's disappointed in his kid. I assumed he meant my brother, for flunking out of school. He meant me, for quitting sports to focus on my studies. FML
Today, I won an academic award during an assembly. Everyone laughed, followed by booing. FML
Today, my mom got angry that I won't give her the funds necessary to send my little brother to military school. She wants to send him because he caught her cheating on our dad and punched her in the face. FML
Today, I got into a huge fight with a girl at school. My mom and dad decided to punish me by letting my three older brothers pick out my wardrobe for the next week. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for fighting with my younger brother. Not because she wanted us to stop, but because my brother couldn't find a good comeback to my argument. FML
Today, my mom proved to me that there was favoritism between me and my siblings. My mom made me use my money to buy everyone dinner, but when my brother wanted to buy himself food, my mom asked him if he was gonna buy me and our sister some too, he said, "No, I don’t want to" and she said, "That’s fine." FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, "Your dad and I are so proud of you." Sweet, right? It was meant for my brother. FML

Favoritism, deal with it. In practically every household with more than one child, there's gonna be favoritism. If you wanna get them back, be successful, get all the awards (so there won't be any for your apparently more important brother), and when you start earning all the money, don't do anything for them. Say that you wanted to give your money to charity instead. You can also show excessive favoritism for your brother. And in the case that this is just a one-perspective fml and you're a bastard in real life, then ydi.

Exactly. Even if you're parents swear on their own graves they don't have a favorite, they do. Either they feel sorry for one for not being as good or successful as another, and your little sister constantly starts fights and shit, or maybe they just don't plain like one. Just wait thirty years, and take them on a fuckload of vacations and buy them random shit, then we'll see who their favorite is. But as for now, yes, they still love you, but just a little less than your brother.

I'd tell them to go to hell and you earned it fair and square no matter what their trivial bias opinions are. Or better yet, a nice "F-off/F-you". But, been there done that. Not too much anyone can really say about other than don't take it without a fight. And try not to become bitter and upset about the situation of the relationship, things will change one day.. hopefully. My parents sure stopped comparing me to my brother once we got older.

Then make your brother work to get that award from you. Indentured servitude solves so many problems.
