My family always shoots down any idea or suggestion I have down. I honestly feel like it's because I am bipolar. I feel like my parents don't like my suggestions/opinions like they do my siblings. Does anyone else go through this?

For example it took me over a year to convince my mom to use unsalted butter for baking. I do consider myself a professional baker since I have sold my cookies in the past. I tried telling her salted butter makes cakes dry. Everyone including her loves my baking. She rarely eats sweet stuff but she will eat my sugar cookies. Normally she's not selfish but with my sugar cookies she's selfish. Why it took me over a year to convince her to use unsalted butter is beyond me. She even says my baking skills are superior to her's. I do think from now on at least with baking she will listen to me. To give an idea on how much I bake my Dad bought me a $200 Kitchen Aid mixer for no reason one month ago.

I have told my mom over & over if she gets a new iPhone in December to give me the money and let me order it for her. I told her my case for my iPhone is $20 it's much better than the Life proof case. My sister lets me use her Amazon Prime shipping. Which is why I offered to order the case for my mom. I know Life proof cases suck because my step mom had one and she dropped her phone and the screen had horrible cracks in it. She only dropped it once. I've accidentally dropped mine on the ground while in a truck. I have also dropped mine multiple times on a tile floor. I'm not sure if she will listen to my opinion on the cases.
