Parents Only Ask One Of Their Kids For Rent, Can’t Believe The Reaction: “Not My Problem To Solve”

Whether it’s a valid feeling or not, realizing you’re not being treated fairly hurts. Especially when the people responsible for the injustice are the ones you expect to be your closest allies.

So when Reddit user Low_Scholar_2297, who diligently pays rent to their parents, learned that their sister is living there for free, it was as if they were being told she matters more.

And if that wasn’t enough, they were then asked to bump up the payments, and called selfish after agreeing only on the condition that their sibling matches their contribution.

    I agree that OP should keep paying the same amount he has been paying if he doesn't move out, but no more. Just because his parents want to continue supporting their adult daughter doesn't mean OP has to also.
