At least Mike is willing to change in the end. And that's all that matters. And Mc is right to set boundaries and have her family have a relationship with her kids on her terms.
Sarah and Tom did the right thing when they decided to distance themselves from her parents and her brother only to allow both the parents and brother to visit Emily and Ethan once they are older.
You had every right to drop your family, for years they ignored you ,and a second chance is out of the question. Family is not just blood,it is being wanted and loved.
And yet, no one ever does but that´s ok! Loving one kid more than the others doesn´t automatically lead to you neglecting and favoring the kid you love more. Neglect and favoritism is allways a choice, you can choose to give all your kids equal attention and affection because in the end that is what you signed up for when choosing to have kids. There is ALLWAYS going to be a kid you prefere over the others, just like every kid has a favorite parent we NEED to destigmatise this!
I tell my parents that the reason why Mark turned into a screw up is because of spoiling him to the point he went into this life of Indulgence and aimless life goals. I mean every kid should have a back plan for a career incase it doesn't work or will take time to achieve.
Now, this is what I mean when I say someone really needs to let it out. I know people aren't supposed to yell at people even when their frustrated, but sometimes you need to get dramatic to be heard.
I'm with Sarah. Here you have a successful daughter. Living her best life. Yet, her parents are enabling their favorite child's behavior and letting him ruin the family. Here parents are so blind that they cannot tell right or wrong.
Let me tell you one thing about The Golden child is that they always fall on their faces they wind up not doing good or they turn into junkies so if you have one in your family don't bother with it don't bother your parents just take care of yourself prioritize yourself and we'll be in go to school get a job do your good life and just sit back and watch them crumble
This is why parents who have more than one child should never play favorites because the outcome in later years never ends well. Siblings will begin to resent each other or worse do things to make the other look bad or much worse eliminate the favorite sibling because the others are sick & tired of mommy & daddy giving golden child all their attention. Or when mom & dad get to the point where they can't look after themselves their other neglected children will want nothing to do with them. I don't blame Sarah I would be pissed too as well as cut my family off for neglecting me over my sibling for years.
just let it all out, really what took her so long, even if they are her parents they needed a wake up call there's a right way and a wrong way to treat your children no she was right to put up boundaries for her kids.
Forget those dud parents and brother. FYI it's the MC's life, no one tells her whether she's mother material or if she's allowed to have kids either way but she, herself and her.. Period! The End.
I may be the only one, but I’m definitely the type of person who very much doesn’t believe the whole “better late than never” ideology. I don’t care if you changed your ways. That doesn’t take away all the trauma that happened before. I’m not a forgiving person either so I guess that reinforces that resolve more. You can’t just give the whole “we’ve changed, we’re not the same people we were before” bullcrap, because I’m not having any of that. Stuff like that should have never happened in the first place and that’s what irks me so much. You all can call me a negative person, it’ll just help me realize how blind a lot of people are by forgiving people who cause you this much trauma. There’s no room in my heart for forgiveness and I had to learn that the hard way. There’s no room in my heart for forgiveness, especially for situations like this.
I thought for SURE the parents would have dropped Mike like a hot potato once he told them he had the vasectomy and didn't even want children anyway. Wrong again. At any rate, TERRIFIC story with excellent narration! 👍👍
I would say that Sarah had every damn right to cut off her parents and her brother you know. I mean look at me, I had to cut out my own former mother from my life. Not only that but even my older sister wants nothing to do with our former old bag and and even our dad doesn't want nothing to do with her either.
I'm pretty sure that Sarah parents got criticize and scolded them for not having any common sense to treated them with love and care equally. So i guess they didn't live a comfortable life around the neighbors since after give them cold stares to avoid and distance from them including their families and relatives who they apologize to Sarah for their excusable behavior and terrible attitudes who allowed to spoiled mike to do anything besides discipline him. 🤦🏽♀️what an embarrassing to brought shame to the family name.
This is the rewards of favoritism!! All the crying in the world means nothing.Forget about seeing their grand children.The need to help their son with rehab.
I think you did the right thing by cutting your parents and brother out of your children's lives because you don't want them to go through what you went through. The best decision you could have made is to not let a toxic relationship negatively affect your children so they can have a good and healthy childhood. Her parents have been dishonest with her her entire life and have given all their attention to her brother while she had to work hard to get their approval, only to disappoint her even more. Children should not be treated differently from each other by their parents and every child deserves to be valued in the family and these people were judging them based on their gender and their preferences, they should be ashamed of themselves for even being parents. So in the end, not only are they no longer part of their daughter's life, which they don't deserve, but they also have the opportunity to attend their grandchildren's, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives, filled with remorse. 😡😠😤
If my parents want to coddle my sibling & give him everything he wants I'm not going to bust my ass trying to fight for my parents affections. I'll just focus on me quite frankly I'll be the one getting away with stuff & doing my own thing just don't expect me to help the family out.
If Mike wants to be a successful musician, he has to go into rehab, go to music school, then try perhaps at first with a band, but put some discipline in his life. As for OP's parents, they shouldn't show favoritism towards one of the twins; that breeds resentment.
The "golden child" wasn't so golden after all. I don't mean that to be unkind, but in most of these stories in which favoritism is the subject, the so-called favorite is the one who ends up not being successful.
@@commonsense2646 um absolutely not , they never encourage her and say she was not a mother material how would you feel you would say it calmly and nicely i don't think so
Dude I don't think you were subjected to favoritism buddy, if I was you I would take a close look at the mirror and ask yourself. "Do I even understand the situation?"
At least Mike is willing to change in the end. And that's all that matters. And Mc is right to set boundaries and have her family have a relationship with her kids on her terms.
She's everything her brother isn't. And that's enough

My mother says, "You should love your children equally!"
My dad said, " I love the one who will do and believe anything I say. Oh, and will give me things."

Yes your doing the right thing protecting them

You are right, let everything out. If they listen, great. If they don't, you have the peace of mind of saying what you need and move on.
Yes your doing the right thing by protecting them

no she was right to put up boundaries for her kids.
Give them another chance ? Hell no
You should love your children equally but my sister was there favorite my mother even said
Sarah forgot the most important thing: she didn’t flip the parents off while walking away!
You did good
Forget those dud parents and brother. FYI it's the MC's life, no one tells her whether she's mother material or if she's allowed to have kids either way but she, herself and her.. Period! The End.

How did they find out about the birth???

Don't let them in they will force you to give mic your children!!
Mike said he wasn't into kids.
You absolutely did the right thing. I would have done the same. A MacDuncan does not easily forgive.
This is the rewards of favoritism!!
All the crying in the world means
nothing.Forget about seeing their
grand children.The need to help
their son with rehab.

Curly hair looks like the character river rong
I know how Sarah feels my parents is like Sarah's i always second ri my oldest brother
I would have done the same thing

It's MIKE not MIC.
Got pregnant out of spite and for attention. Not a great message...
Yes it is because she's a victim of favoritism.
This is some bull. How do you bring a baby in this world not out of love but spite?
I know right. You go and have a baby to get back at your parents. That's crazy.
@@commonsense2646 um absolutely not , they never encourage her and say she was not a mother material how would you feel you would say it calmly and nicely i don't think so
I was thinking 🤔 the same thing!
The heroine of this story should have made up with her parents and brother because of the children.
😂!
Funny joke
Dude I don't think you were subjected to favoritism buddy, if I was you I would take a close look at the mirror and ask yourself. "Do I even understand the situation?"
Half of it.
