Parents Coddle Loser Older Brother Anonymous 126120
Me: worked every summer/scholarships to cover my own tuition, set to graduate with a FT job lined up; grew up super frugal bcs mom used to always complain about how I was a leech on her finances.
Older brother: literally fails so many classes he takes summer school every summer, + was on academic probation. Never had a job before, parents literally send him 1k-1.5k a month on top of covering his tuition and rent.
Usually I wouldn't gaf; not my problem. But recently my parents literally borrowed money from me to cover his rent, again, idrc. But once I had my family over at my place and they were asking how my internship for the summer was going and I was talking about the cool stuff I worked on and the perks I got and my older brother kept saying that it was lame/not that cool so I basically was like "okay this is a lot coming from a chronically unemployed person". Then my mom started glazing him like "one day you're gonna earn big money and retire us"… You bitch you literally borrowed money from me to pay his expenses.
And then she pulled me aside and was like "your brother is really struggling you shouldn't be discouraging him". Like… I wouldn't have said anything until he started coming after me???
The double standard is crazy bcs she never did anything when he used to abuse me as a kid but all of a sudden he can't handle a verbal comeback?? Tf??
