Annoying Family Members

[ABeautifulSecret]

Hey Platz!

So, I have this sister (I don't admit this knowledge freely ) and she's a real pain. I am the baby of the family and she feels that I've been spoiled more by the parents. How can I tell her tactifully that I am the favorite?

Dear Fave ~

I am the baby of the family too and find that was never easy for my big brothers to come to terms with the fact that they just weren't as good or as cute as me.  I don't feel that there is a tactful way to tell them, nor do I care...

I just walk up to them and say... "See how cute I am? Everyone loves me cause I'm so cute and you're just big and hairy..."  How can they disagree?  They know it in their hearts to be true!  You don't need to tell your sister anything she already knows!  You have been graced with being the baby and you should enjoy it... she just needs to deal!

Just let me know if you need anything else... I know this has been helpful cause I'm so cute...  (<------- who am I?)

Thanks for visiting Ask Platzki!  Come again! (You're sister never will if you do what I say!!!!!)

Oh yeah, I can relate you guys!  But the sad thing is, I have two older sisters and they're just rotten.  They go around telling everybody that because I was the baby, I was spoilt and got away with everything.  But the truth of the matter was that they abused me terribly.  Every time I turned around, it was 'Get out of here, you rotten brat!"  And the beatings, it was awful really!  I'm still scarred to this day!  Any advice for me Platzki?

The easiest thing to do is just agree with them...

There isn't one "baby" of the family that wasn't abused by their older siblings... I just smile and agree...

... it really pisses them off...
