28-year-old brother refuses to loan money to older sister to help her pay rent, sister blames him for being ungrateful after she practically raised him: ‘You wouldn't be where you are if it wasn't for me’

There are plenty of older siblings out there who have found themselves becoming a parental figure to their younger siblings, for better or for worse. Sometimes it is because their own parents were not really around, or did not care enough to put effort towards raising their younger kids. Other times, it is mostly due to their parents simply needing help, needing an extra hand, and turning to their oldest children for that.

Whether or not that is the right thing to do is a question for another day; we're just saying that it happens, and it happens plenty.

Being in the shoes of the eldest sibling who must step up is a challenging task, one that requires a lot of sacrifice. Many eldest will tell you that they never got to have much of a childhood, because their main focus was to ensure their young siblings got one instead.

So, what happens when these siblings get older, and the roles are reversed? How far should young siblings go to help the sibling who practically raised them? When is it time to say enough?
