Should I feel left out? Am I being selfish? - I'm trying not to feel left out, but I do!
Me and my mum had planned a day out shopping together today when she dropped off my little brother at nursery. Before she took my brother to nursery, my sister who has had a baby came over to say hello. She went with my mum to take my brother to nursery, and then she came back with my mum. My mum said we will go soon, so I went to get ready. After I got ready my mum said we weren't going anymore. I almost feel like she changed her mind because my sister was here, as I feel my sister is favoured by my mum. I am going away on Friday and my sister was meant to be coming over for the day, and staying the night then. So shopping today was meant to be mine and my mums time. I don't know I just feel a bit down now as I was excited to spend some time with her.

If you feel it then its happening, ive learned youve just got to accept that your not the favourite one and dont let it eat you up. people are selfish and parents have their favourites although they shouldnt and people like to just please themselves all the time, thats just life and people, its just the way it is.

As a guy, I don't think it's a big issue. I would never want to go shopping with my mam. lol
But on a serious note, I think you are being a bit too delicate about this. You can spend time with her in others ways that don't involve spending her money.

I think you are fully justified in your feelings, I get in a lot of fights with my mom, because I feel like she favors my brothers.

Your not being selfish, you had looked forward to one on one time with your mum. It's natural to feel sad, I hope your whole day is not ruined. Do something special for yourself, you deserve to be kind to yourself.

I'd talk to her and explain how I felt about the whole situation.

Not selfish. Everyone needs their own personal time with one that they value.
