Hunting Bank Careers

Ever feel like the failed child?

My younger sister is engaged to a guy she’s been with for years. She has a good career that can take her anywhere in the world, so does her fiancee. They are house hunting at the moment. She has good friends and goes out often. She was the one who partied at uni while I studied.

To contrast, I have no friends at the moment, nor a girlfriend. Never have had one. I can’t find a permanent job because I studied a subject I didn’t enjoy. Because of this, I can’t afford to move away from my parents place. I have very little money in the bank.

It’s like my parents messed up raising the first child (me), but learned from their mistakes and got the second child right. Anyone else feel they’re in the same situation?

Yep, my parents use me as an example for my sisters of what not to do. I love my family, but every time I go home I have to be reminded of it. They always pronounce their guilt (in front of me) of having me this way… as if they could have prevented it. That’s why I’m spending my Thanksgiving break alone on an near-empty campus.

Also, my cousin feels this way too, except she makes it her priority to insure her brother’s not going to fall apart halfway. So that they both don’t turn out… disappointing.

Yep, it stinks being a first-born…

I can still change and improve though, and so can you.
