I know I’m not my parents’ favourite child and have loads of proof – my childhood nickname is just the start
A WOMAN has revealed all the proof she has that she wasn’t her parents’ favourite child growing up.
Spencer Barbosa – who has two sisters and a brother – took to her TikTok page to share a video she captioned: “Reasons I am NOT the favourite child”.
At the beginning of the video, she also wrote over the top: “My parents love me – they just had too many kids.”
“These are very obvious reasons that I am not the favourite child,” she said.
“I’m not asking for pity – I just think it’s kind of funny.”
She began with “neither of my parents know what time I was born at” and “neither of my parents know where my birth certificate is”.
“As a child, my siblings were given cute nicknames like Logey Pogey or Bailey Boo and I was given the nickname of Frank the Tank,” she said.
“My siblings have those cute little baby books with all the memories. Yeah, I don’t have one,” Spencer continued.
She also revealed she didn’t have a name for “two-and-a-half weeks”.
Spencer then went on to share another story.
“When I was three months old I was sleeping in my car seat and my sister used that opportunity to grab the car seat and put it in a snowbank and leave me outside for half an hour,” she said.
“When my mum noticed that I was missing, and found me in a snowbank, my sister used the excuse of ‘I don’t want any more babies’.”
The comments section on Spencer’s video was quickly filled with people sharing their own stories of being the least favourite child.
“I was called ‘it’ until I was three. I had a name,” one wrote.
“My brother tried to suffocate me when I was 3 cuz he didn’t want a sister,” another added.
“My siblings can have pretty names and my name is Sissy,” someone else commented.
“I was left at the shopping centre for 3 HOURS,” another wrote.
As someone else added: “I got lost in a store when I was 4 and my mom didn’t realise until 30 minutes after.”
Spencer concluded her video by insisting the “tables have turned” since she’s grown up, as she can “guarantee you that my siblings would say I’m the favourite”.
