Feeling a bit left out

[Narnat,]

Basically I have been feeling a bit left out in my family because my dad and my sister have created a really good bond because they go to football together and she is already really close to my mum. However I can't really find anything in common with anyone and my mum is disabled so she can't go anywhere with me and she is always sore which makes her quite moody and I'm not jealous I just feel a bit left out because it comes across as they like my younger sister better. The only thing in common I have with my dad is Sea Cadets and the Navy. I have tried to get him to come loads of time because the staff want him to come because he has a lot qualifications that he can teach to the cadets but he is always busy or he is away for quite a while and all he wants to do is rest. Any ideas ?

Try and get into Football and go to the matches with your Dad and Sister

Spend your spare time with friends instead.

To be honest you need to try and express your worries or they will never know what your thinking! Spend time with them more and hint if you can't.

Well I am sure you could just take your Mum out if that is possible or do something 'special' for her which she would appreciate. It must be hard to be her if she is always in pain.

yeah i agree with this. if you can find something both your mum and you can enjoy it'll be great bonding. my mum is disabled too so she's stuck at home a lot, i find just baking, watching her favourite movies with her or taking her out for dinner is good gets us both out the house and time to spend with each other. so if that's possible i really recommend you do it.

I went to one last night but you can see a bond and like they talk with each other and they know what they are talking about if you get me and I just wasn't really interested.

But I'm wanting to spend time with my parents :S

My Mum is also disabled and she struggles sometimes too, we do the best we can to help her and such.

Is she in a wheelchair, or does she use a stick? Does she get sore walking for a while?

Maybe do something that doesn't require moving much.

I would suggest bingo, but then again I doubt you are old enough to play (18).
However, online bingo is fun, you could try that with her. Also it's automatic and it can help her gain vague skills in ICT. Then again if you win it's double the pleasure. As you are online frequently maybe you could show her how to set up and everything. Or you could always use a free bingo site if you are weary of putting details online.

Other than that, keep onto the idea of something that you can do together which will make her not as sore.
Is she able to get a massge or pedicure/manicure or anything? Could try that.

anyway as bad as this sounds but just leave it? Just because they're family doesn't mean you have to be epicly close and do stuff together, I don't do much stuff with my family as bad as they may sound to people.
Also, who says you have to go out and do things? It can be just as nice talking and doing stuff inside.
