No, Jeanie is not the problem. Her parents are.

Her parents clearly consider Ferris their favorite child and will blindly buy his act hook, line and sinker, enable his behavior while Jeanie is continually mistreated by everyone in the movie but especially her parents. Is it any wonder she is so bitter?

yeah but , she got a car!
Ferris only got a crappy 80s computer

Yes, that actually is kind of curious. If Ferris is clearly their favorite, why does Jeanie have a car and not him? He’s old enough to have one.
