She Said That Her Spoiled Younger Sister Has Achieved Nothing In Life In Front Of Their Whole Family After Her Sister Tried To Disparage Her Own Career
While this thirty-year-old woman has always known that her parents love both her and her twenty-seven-year-old sister– Olivia– equally, she has still carried the weight of an enormous double standard throughout her entire life.
She was always expected to rise to a higher level– to be the accountable, responsible, and hardworking child.
Olivia, on the other hand, was enabled and encouraged to have fun. And whenever she would make a mistake or act irresponsibly, her parents would bail Olivia out.
“For example, when Olivia performed poorly in school due to not making an effort, they would pay tutors to do her homework. But if I genuinely struggled in a subject, they would tell me to figure it out myself,” she recalled.
And the double standard even persisted into adulthood. After she entered college, her parents only financially supported her first two years of undergraduate school. Then, she was left covering the rest of her bachelor’s and master’s degree costs entirely by herself.
But, when it came to Olivia, her parents paid for it all without even batting an eye.
In fact, Olivia wanted to become a nurse, just like her mother and grandmother. Nonetheless, she eventually dropped out and flushed her parent’s investment down the toilet.
And even after that happened, Olivia was still somehow able to convince her parents to invest even more money into her future.
That time, though, they gave her enough funds to launch a candle and bath bomb business– which did not last long, either.

“The store went bankrupt after a year. And now, Olivia is unemployed and living with our parents,” she explained.
But, even though the sisters have received nearly opposite parental guidance and support throughout their lives, she never really expressed her upset to her parents or Olivia.
That was until this past month, though, when Olivia spoke completely out of line.
It all began when she was celebrating her son’s second birthday and hosted a family dinner.
Since successfully pursuing her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, she is now working as a creative writing tutor on the side to earn some extra money. So, while sitting with her aunt, she was sharing what she does at her side job.
“I help my students with world-building and whatever else they need help with in their stories. My students are all passionate people with genuinely good ideas,” she said.
Eventually, though, Olivia also joined the conversation and asked her a few questions. Then, she totally spoke out of turn.
“It’s not like you would ever be able to make it big yourself. No offense, sis,” Olivia said to her.
Hearing that from Olivia understandably enraged her– especially after all the years of dealing with her lack of work ethic. So, she quickly delivered a biting comeback.
“Livvy, a quick reminder that you have accomplished nothing in your life without mom or dad holding your hand. As soon as you do, you can criticize my work all you’d like,” she responded.
Afterward, Olivia was utterly taken aback before causing a massive scene in front of the entire family. Then, her parents and a few relatives also jumped in to back Olivia– calling the response “cruel.”
Nonetheless, her husband and in-laws all believe that Olivia had it coming after all these years.
Regardless of the support, though, she is now wondering if basically roasting her sister in front of everyone was the wrong thing to do– even if she deserved it.
Do you think she had a right to stand up for herself? If you were in her shoes, would you feel guilty?
