Today, I found out that my parents were artists when they met. My mom said that I was one of their best projects yet. My sister, hearing what my mother said, broke my week-old PS3 in a rage. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my sister just had a huge fight with my mom. After that, she thought it was appropriate to smash my $1,000 guitar to "blow off some steam." FML
Today, I found out that my mom paints, and that I was artistically represented in a painting, as Satan, in a painting made shortly after I told her that I was an atheist. FML
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, I found out my that my girlfriend's parents hate me, all because they saw me laughing and hanging out with another girl. That other girl was my sister. FML
Today, I found out my little sister is marrying my ex, and that my mother set them up. FML
Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. FML
Today, my toddler proudly presented me a "beautiful drawing" he'd made... on my freshly painted living room wall. When I started to scold him, he said, "But I made it for YOU, Mommy!" Now I feel guilty for being mad at Picasso Jr, and having to paint over it. FML
Today, I was granted a donation to pay for a creative writing course. When I told my mom she couldn't even muster a smile. She found her excitement later, however, when she posted how proud she was of me on Facebook. I can only get praise through my mom attention-whoring on social media. FML
Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML
Today, my parents told me that I was born to entertain my brother. I have found the meaning of life. FML

I /really/ hope some punishment is delivered for that!! I hate favoritism as much as the next sibling, but that is not the way to go about it!

Probably why you're the favorite, your sibling sounds like a spoiled brat

I have a little sister and, personally, I'd be annoyed at my parent for saying something like that. If you're going to praise your child, praise both of them. Maybe your sister over-reacted. Maybe there's more to this then you know. No parent should play favorites.

I read the situation as OP was talking to his parent and they mentioned that, not necessarily because they're a favourite but because they were directly speaking to OP. The sister may have overheard but the reaction was way over the top. I. personally, don't think it was favouritism.

"One of their best projects" Are you going to tell me that all the other projects were painting and the OPs mother couldn't possibly have been doing exactly what you are saying she should have and acknowledging the other sibling(s)? The OP and that sculpture of a toaster, yup, that's it.

Surely it should be your parents she's mad at here, not you... what a nasty little cow.

Sibling favorism is ugly, but that's not the way to react to it. I'd take her money and get a new one if I were you, OP. The best way to handle people like this is to show them that you won't tolerate their BS, so hurt her wallet.

It's hardly favouritism! They said 'one of their best projects' not THE best, and it's not like they said it to only one child in front of the other, his sister just over heard! She's being a brat, plain and simple.

Because that's a completely appropriate response ...

There was no favoritism in my family, and I was even the youngest. The only time it was shown was when one of my two older brothers would go to college.

Who says OP is the favourite? The parents said he was ONE of their best projects, not THE best.

I'd love to hear one of her jokes

Does she have an ipad or tablet you can break in return?

“one of their best Projects” .That MEANS include your sister。 What were she thinking?? In the United States, many of the children, and in summary is: spoiled!
