Being an oldest sibling tends to involve also stepping in as a sort of parent-intern, particularly if there is only one parent around. Unfortunately, there are all too many parents out there who don’t know how to balance favors, gifts and attention and end up ensuring that the child who does so much work for them also resents them.
A woman asked the internet if she was wrong to tell her mom “no” when she asked her for $200. She recounted how during her childhood, she often had to take time to look after her seven siblings. To add insult to injury, her mom also thought it right to buy her siblings cars, while not getting her anything.
