[eta] it's not so unusual in families with multiple children for one of those children to end up copping for all the shit and being treated very differently from the others. Often there's no obvious reason why that child gets the thin end. But it happens. Families aren't always such cosy places. Parents sometimes fail their children in fundamental and basic ways, even as they do right by them in others. The child that finds themself in that less than cozy position has every right to feel anger.

Most parents do NOT treat all their children the same as their children are different and have different needs.
It's not about treating them the same in every way or giving them the same things: it's about showing them the same level of regard and concern. It's about giving them equal weight in your mind, and taking account of all of their needs. The examples MTP give are clearly just examples where it's made obvious by the similarity of their needs on those occasions, that equal weight does not appear to have been given to all siblings.
