Her Sister Asked For $8,000 So She Didn’t Have To Cancel Her Switzerland Trip And Appear Poor To Her Friends
This 29-year-old woman is the oldest of five siblings, and she really has not spoken to them or her parents in years.
She has no clue what goes on in the lives of any of her family members, and she will only hear from them on occasional holidays or if there’s some kind of emergency.
So, when her 26-year-old sister Lulu called her up really early one morning, she was shocked to hear from her.
Lulu was sobbing into the phone and said she had to speak to her about their parents. She asked Lulu what was going on and if she was safe.
“Lulu tells me she’s super stressed out because she’s not even halfway through her Switzerland trip, and she’s out of funds,” she explained.
“She’s called our parents, but they don’t want to give her any money and said that she needs to come home. I told her that it’s wise to come home if she can’t afford the rest of the trip, and I can help her find the cheapest flight.”
“Lulu didn’t want that because she’ll look “poor” in front of her friends, plus she ONLY needed to borrow $8K.”
She told Lulu she was not giving her $8,000, but she did agree to loan Lulu money to get a plane ticket back home.
Lulu began screaming at her for being selfish before hanging up the phone. She attempted to call Lulu back, but she didn’t pick up.

Several hours after her phone call with Lulu, her parents called to say she was extremely mean for leaving Lulu stranded in a foreign country and that they raised her better than that.
She was puzzled and angry since she did offer to loan Lulu money, but only for a plane ticket, and Lulu declined her offer.
Her parents have accused her of being a jerk for not allowing Lulu to continue her trip, and they also say she ruined the chance to be a good role model to Lulu.
“My other siblings have heard that Lulu is “stranded and stressed” because I’m being…heartless,” she concluded.
She’s left wondering if she somehow is in the wrong for not forking $8,000 over to Lulu. What do you think?
