My younger brother has always been spoiled. I first thought it was because he was the baby, but as I got older, I realized it was favoritism.<\/p>\n
As an adult it only worsened. My parents never helped with my wedding or supported me with my kids, yet they\u2019ve always helped him.<\/p>\n
When he was 18, they asked me to buy him a car, so I did. When he lost his job and couldn\u2019t pay rent, they asked if he could move in with me\u2014I agreed. I helped him financially many times. Two years ago, they asked me to pay my share of his wedding, but I\u2019d just had a baby and said no. Since then, I\u2019ve only helped selectively.<\/p>\n
Last week, they asked if I could watch his baby while he traveled. I refused because I already had plans and he never paid me before. I told my mom his wife should contribute or hire a sitter. My mom offered to pay, but I still refused, saying he needed to be responsible.<\/p>\n
My sister-in-law then accused me of trying to ruin his trip and \u201ctearing the family apart\u201d because I was \u201ctoo greedy\u201d to watch my nephew. Now, they aren\u2019t speaking to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
