Today, my parents favoritism towards my brother really shone through when we moved house and he got the nicest and by far biggest room. I wouldn't mind, but my brother is in college overseas and never comes home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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."

Today, I was helping my dad move into his new house. It's a 4-bedroom house and he has three kids so it's perfect. I was wandering around and noticed that the first bedroom is his, the second is my older brother's, the third is my younger sister's, and the fourth is an office. I have no room. FML
Today, despite the fact that I live with my parents and pay rent, my mom decided the best spot for my brother, his wife and one-year-old son was my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the couch, because it would, "take too long to clean her room." FML
Today, my mom chewed me out, because my brother has been complaining to her that I don't talk to him anymore since moving out. We've never talked much, even when we were sharing a place! FML
Today, my husband threw my brother out for wearing his dressing gown and eating his snacks, saying it was the final straw for his lazy, thieving, unemployed ass. I support my husband obviously, but now my parents are mad at me because my brother moved back in with them. FML
Today, I was talking to my military brother about him coming home soon. I told him that our parents don't always handle change well, but are excited to see him. He took that to mean that they don't want him home and to make plans to stay where he is. FML
Today, after years of telling my sister she's crazy for thinking our parents have been playing favorites all our lives, with me being the favorite, I saw in their will I got the house, both cars, and all their money. Meanwhile, all she got mom's old clothes, "if she can fit in them." FML
Today, my dad is an asshole. My brother gets to bring home and shag as many girls as he wants, yet when I told my dad I was inviting my study group to our house, 3 girls and 1 boy I’m not romantically interested in, he removed my bedroom door, just in case. FML
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
Today, I realized how friendless and lonely I am. I cried this morning as I recalled my older (20 to my 16) brother visiting last weekend. He began his visit by hugging me and saying, "I love you sis', thanks for letting me be your brother." His affection to me is the only hug someone not my parents has given me in two years. FML

Stay there while he's gone? Maybe your parents can compromise

The parents probably use that room for secret hobbies... Like smoking their crack and juggling kittens. It's nothing personal, they're just reaping the benefits of the position of power.

This happened to my boyfriend recently, execpt his twin brother got the biggest room in the house and he got the smallest room so now I just call him Harry Potter.

As a parent, I wouldn't give in to the whiner. . .

Same situation with me. My sister was out of state In a home for troubled girls and they insisted they keep the biggest room in the house prepared for her. Yes bigger than my parents room as well. So she wouldn't feel we were "cutting her out if the family" She was required to stay till 18, 2 years away. While I had to share the smallest room in the house with my brother. There was enough room for a bunk bed and a dresser with ~2ft walk room between. My parents got my sister a California king bed new comforter, new curtains new paint to just sit empty. They also brought her a car while she was in there since "they promised her as a child" and they didn't want to lose her ties to our family by breaking that promise which did not extend to me or my brother. Then when they finally gave in and let the room be used, only after my sister got out early and opted to move in with a relative instead if come home, they gave it to my little brother. Oh and they used mine and my brothers college fund to pay for her rehab and new car

maybe they want him to have a nice room to come back to?

At least you won't have to feel obligated to look after your parents when they get old.
