If you had a disgustingly spoiled sibling who wanted to move in with you, and your parents were pressuring you to say yes, what would you do?
This 20-year-old man has an 18-year-old sister who is a complete and utter brat, and it’s all the fault of his 49-year-old parents.
“My parents have ruined my sister with years of spoiling and preferential treatment. Anything she ever wanted, she got without having to ask a second time, without ever being told to wait,” he explained.
“She was allowed to dictate meal choices for the whole family, where we went on vacation every year, and whether we went to visit extended family or not. When she didn’t want to do something, she didn’t have to.”
“All her chores were reassigned to me when she said it wasn’t fair that she had to do them. The only time she didn’t entirely get her own way was when our parents paid her off to be okay with us doing something she didn’t want to do, like attend a wedding or birthday party for a member of the family.”
He did have a larger bedroom than his sister, and when she announced she wanted it, his parents made him give it to her. His parents also once missed a game he was playing in because his sister had to go shopping for a new product.
If he came home with takeout for himself that he bought with his own money, his parents would scream at him for not getting some for his sister, but when he told them she didn’t like what he ordered, they kept yelling at him for not getting something she did like or going to pick up something separate for her.
As soon as he turned 18, he moved out of the house and went to college. He now lives in an apartment with one of his friends, and he basically is no contact with his parents and his sister, though he has left it open to change if they so desire.
In May, his sister graduated from high school, and she’s going to community college. Last month, all of her friends rented a place together, but wouldn’t allow her to move in.
His sister has an acquaintance who also declined to let his sister move in but needed a roommate. Also, their cousin turned his sister down. With nowhere else to go, his sister told his parents she wanted to live in his apartment.
“They know we have a spare room, so they were like, you have to say yes, but I said no. They told me she needs her independence and all her friends, and our cousin had no room for her,” he continued.
“I questioned that until they admitted none of them wanted to live with her. They told me as her brother I did not get that choice. I told them they don’t pay for my place or my education, so I don’t need to do anything they ask.”
“They are really pushing me to reconsider, and I am not budging. They told me they can’t believe I would abandon her, and that I would deny my own sister a place with me when she wants to move out. Even when she called and screamed a voicemail at me, they said I was wrong, not her. They told me she had every right to be hurt.”
There’s no way he’s going to let his sister come live with him, but considering how his entire family is treating him, he’s left wondering if it’s time to cut them out of his life for good.
I’m sitting here laughing at the audacity of his parents, ordering him around when they don’t even give him money for his living expenses. What’s stopping his dear old mom and dad from paying up for his sister to get her own place?
Since his parents and his sister have zero respect for him, and that has not changed in his two decades on this planet, he needs to cut contact with all three of them forever and not feel bad about it. They’re horrible people.
