There's a lot to unpack with this one but I'll do my best to lay it out as clean as possible. Consider yourself warned that this is a long one (and I mean long.) Make sure to check on the kids or let the dog out before you crack into this.
The scene is set as thus:
u/a22yellow is a 17-year-old girl and will soon be a woman of 18 years old. Her parents have expressed interest in having her stay on to look after her three younger siblings, a burden she has born since she was 14 years of age. There is some inborn resentment amongst the siblings and the younger siblings generally don't seem to be very disciplined or well-raised.
Over the last few years, she has found her duties for babysitting evolving and increasing. Now basically finding herself as a free stay-at-home nanny to her parents. She has had to let multiple opportunities and relationships slide due to this requirement.
To make matters worse, her siblings have grown into nightmares for whom the parents take no responsibility. The strain of the responsibility and effort involved has been causing u/a22yellow mental hardship.
Her parents earn well but spend foolishly. They guilt trip u/a22yellow into maintaining her responsibilities by telling her that they will lose their house if they don't.
Essentially, u/a22yellow is in a situation with her own parents that she desperately needs to get away from. It's hard to imagine being in such a horrible situation. Let's hope that she takes the commenter's advice and navigates a way away from this situation.
