Going in a different direction than the other suggestions in this thread, it would be warranted to pay more attention to a child with significant health problems compared to one who doesn't need the extra help. Ideally that doesn't tip over into neglecting the other child(ren), but sometimes the balance fails.

For me it's a prodigal son sort of situation. I'm The Good (adult now) Child, and so my parents know if they leave me alone I will take care of myself and make good decisions. They know if they leave my (now adult) sister alone, she will not take care of herself and will make horrible decisions. Like "I'm just hanging with friends, I'm not going to drink" "Ok, we're going to drink, but I'll be fine to drive." "Yep, I'm good to drive. Oh no, I just wrapped my car around a tree. Again."

And she's gotten to the point where she expects my parents to spend every free moment with her, so if they try to do something like come visit me for the weekend, she gets jealous and does stuff specifically to punish them. I'm not even reading into it, she's bragged about it before.

So in keeping her alive and functional, they end up really favoring her. I know they love me, and I wouldn't want attention that I've blackmailed them into with my potential bad behavior, but it still sucks sometimes.
