Entitled sister expects 33-year-old sibling, who is already taking care of their father multiple days a week, to fund their father's professional in-home care entirely: ‘I’m already taking on a big part-time caregiving role. I can’t cover everything’

Watching one of your parents succumb to the harsh reality of aging isn't easy. It feels backwards—they were supposed to be taking care of you, not the other way around. That thought process isn't out of malintent. It just feels bizarre with the roles reversed, doesn't it? Being a parent's caregiver is difficult emotionally, mentally, and physically, but I'm sure all of you adult kiddos out there wouldn't trade that quality time and bond-building for the world. There's no better way to show a parent you love them than by being there for them when they need it most.

You might be the golden kid who puts their pride aside and takes care of the parent in need, but you probably have a sibling who expects to get off scot-free without doing so much as lifting a pinky finger to help your parent. Instead, they expect you to give your parent care, day in and day out, and pay for the ends you can't meet with the time you have to spare. That's what's going on in this next story, but the selfless kid puts their foot down and tells their sister that they cannot be doing everything—it's just not possible mentally or financially. What would you do in this situation? Scroll below to read the full story.
