I (f20) am very concerned about my (f14) sister. My parents aren't bad people, they love and provide for us. But the way they treat my sister is very strange. They are very strict in general, I have many problems with them and am working on moving out but I'm worried my sister is going to develop some soft of complex. My sister is 14 and is still told when to shower, eat, sleep etc... my parents put her to sleep and will sing or read to her for 30 mins to put her to sleep. My mom baby talks to her and they still make her call them "mommy" and "daddy." She is EXTREMELY babied. We have two animals at home, one is hers and the other is mine. My sister neglects that animal to the point where it gets sick and I have had to take it to the vet multiple times out of my pocket. Whenever I get frustrated with her and plea that she show that animal some love my parents get mad at me and say that my sister is dealing with enough and shouldn't be talked to that way. They claim she has all these issues and put her on tons of medication but she's a very normal girl. I have depression and she does as well but I feel like they over coddle her. Friends have pointed out to me how weird they treat my sister and some family members have as well, but no one ever confronts my parents about it. What is a healthy way I can approach this ? My parents are extremely stubborn and getting them to change their minds on anything is impossible. Like. IMPOSSIBLE. They are always right. Please help, Thank you.
TL;DR i am concerned about the way my parents treat my little sister
Sidenote: I have spoken to my parents many times about their behavior and they think it is completely normal.
