My younger brother has always been spoiled. At first, I thought it was just because he was the baby of the family. But as I got older, I realized it wasn’t just that—it was favoritism.
As an adult, things only got worse.
I’m married with two children, yet my parents never contributed to my wedding or helped when I needed support with the kids. My brother, on the other hand, has always been a different story.
When he turned 18, my parents begged me to buy him a car because they couldn’t afford it. I agreed.
When he lost his job and couldn’t pay his rent, they asked if he could move in with me.
Again, I agreed. I even gave him money whenever he came up short each month. Then, two years ago, he got married.
My parents asked me to cover their share of his wedding costs because they couldn’t afford it but wanted him to have the grand celebration he dreamed of.
That time, I said no. I had just given birth to my second child and couldn’t take on extra expenses.
Since then, things have been tense. They keep asking for help, and I’ve learned to weigh the request before deciding.
I’ve stepped in a few times, but not nearly as much as before.
And every time I say no, my parents make me out to be the worst sister in the world. Things reached a new low last week. My parents called, asking if I could watch my brother’s baby while he went on a business trip.
I asked why his wife couldn’t do it, and they told me she wanted to use the time to visit her family.
I refused. I couldn’t take on his baby just because his wife wanted a holiday.
