"My [14M] sister is a nickelodeon actress. My mother and father spend literally every second with her, the only time I see them is when she is with me. I am always forgotten/left behind.

Hi I am sorry if this is confusing, I just woke up and I am not going to school today because I am moving state, again. Wherever my sister goes I have to follow and honestly I am here by myself. I am waiting for my Taxi to the plane. My parents are already with my sister in our or I should say "her" new home.
It's not my home, has not been this way since I was 6 when she got her first commercial. Ever since that day the sun rises and sets to her command. My parents I feel at times have completely forgotten I exist. It's like it's a chore for them to do anything when it comes to me, but smiles and rainbows when it comes to my sister.
I dislocated me knee recently and I can't actually believe I am saying this. My mother/her agent was more concerned about my sister having the right seat on her flight than me. The doctor was trying to explain to her what was wrong, she told the doctor to be silent and made a phone call and left the room.
I barely see my parents, I can come home from school and I can be alone for days while my sister is filming something new. They just leave the money, I am kicked out of the house whenever my sisters co stars come around and I am not allowed to come back for hours.
I am so over this, is there anything I can do
tl;dr: Parents forget I exist"
I'm going to guess the answer is every single actress on Nickelodeon that has a sister.
ReplyDeleteFirst off its because they have come to depend on her money. If they couldn't get at it the family would have a crises. Or so they believe. Try to understand what is really happening and why. In most families the money dance is around the biggest earner. Your situation is unique because it's your sister and not your Mom or Dad.
ReplyDeleteWhy is taxi randomly capitalized?
ReplyDeleteGeez, that's incredibly sad..
ReplyDeleteAnd we ought to take Reddit serious? Since when? It can be everyone who just want to get attention.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jade Pettyjohn if she has a sister
ReplyDeleteLizzy Greene
ReplyDelete- Has an older brother (I guess 14)
- From Dallas (explains the flight situation)
- Her IG looks like it's self-absorbed
Doesn't that kid have any other relatives? Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteStudy hard dear, go to Uni and become someone. When your sister will be a drug addicted failed star.. you will be the one called by your mum to help her. Swallow your tears and pride. Become someone with a real job. Time will change and turn things around. Xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSounds like this person might be old enough to drive if they're 'kicked out of the house'.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm sure the cash cow gets ridiculously preferential treatment, this also has a big scoop of standard teen angst/'woe is me' in it.
I suspect the circumstance isn't as dire as it feels to this sibling. I'm sure it's painful, but we know nothing about the writer.
This is every child with a famous sibling younger or older. You take the back seat and ride along and hopefully not develop into a broken adult with abandonment issues. Some parents compensate by making that child happen to like the famous child (siblings Cyrus, Caulking, Lohan), especially after big sib takes control over their money and the parents are addicted to the money train.

ReplyDeleteNo, time does not always change things and turn them around.
ReplyDeleteShe should tell a school counselor. If it's abuse they are mandatory reporters. If not, they could try to provide the parents with some accountability for their responsibility as parents, perhaps through mediation. Given how messed up most of these star kids end up (probably b/c of the pedo rings), she actually may be the better off of the two, but that doesn't mean she's not in pain and doesn't need help.
ReplyDeleteFigure out a way to take care of yourself. Find a hobby or something you enjoy doing, and seek it wherever you are in the world.
ReplyDeleteI'd adopt ya!
What a sad story.....hopefully she'll soon be old enough to get her own place. Talk about being put on a back burner...shame on those money grubbing parents
ReplyDelete1.so ur 'dear diary,..' is on reddit...
ReplyDelete2.try to find a loving foster family...(just kidding)
3.but u sounds like at list 16 y.o.(home alone, w/ a money ur sister made)...
4.where will be ur family w/o sister's money?
5.think about ur future, "the best revenge is to live well"...
It's doesn't identify the sibling as a girl, it could be a boy.
ReplyDeleteAnd it got/has been deleted.
ReplyDeleteMadisyn Shipman (Game Shakers)? Around the right age (almost 14), been acting since 5/6, is from North Carolina and has 3 younger brothers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure parts of this are true but probably a lot of over dramatization or hyperbole in this post. Maybe they just got told they can't get a car, go on a date, or go to a dance, or some other traumatic preteen/teen event just happened.
ReplyDeletecould be a brother as well.
ReplyDeleteher older brother looks too old to write this..check him out on her YouTube feed--he's looks more like a big protective brother...but what do I know..
ReplyDeleteI would guess her last name was Lohan except all of them are grown at this point. Who is the latest sociopathic family?
