Today, my brother's home for his annual visit, lectures my parents once about their eating habits. They promptly throw away all of their junk food. I'm there every Sunday, and have been telling them to eat healthier for medical reasons. They never listen. He's in sales, and I'm in med school. FML

He has charisma, you don't. Med school is right for you -- you can make tons of money even if you have no personality.

Don't make a big deal out of it. Maybe they just threw away the junk food to make their son feel better, since they see him so rarely. But that doesn't mean they'll suddenly change their eating habits just because of a speech. And if they actually do, you should be happy they're eating healthier.

OP, that sucks but it may not be favouritism on their behalf. Maybe it's a case of you repeating the same thing and seeing them so often mad them less likely to listen to you or think you had a bias or something but someone coming in who they haven't seen for a while and saying the same thing makes it click. I know a lad who will sit and refuse to move for hours but as soon as someone else he knows comes up and asks him to move he will. Try not to take it personally

Your diet was so hideously inconsistent, why *would* they listen? At least M practiced what he preached.
