The arc is not unique, but it is always weirdly funny in the same way a treadmill is funny when someone insists they ran a marathon because they stood near it and shouted tips about incline while the other person actually pressed start and kept pressing start every payday for nearly a decade, then arrived with a down payment, a funded emergency kit, and the kind of boring spreadsheet that makes parents quietly proud and siblings invent new math about shared learning and the inheritance of the stock market.

Parents will call the tone harsh because facts rarely wear soft clothes, but the fix is not different just because it is family, and the posture going forward is to keep the money talk dull and the holidays gentle, to move out, set the autopay, stop narrating balances at dinner, and remember the only honest split of an account funded by one person is zero, which might sound mean in theory but reads like gravity in practice and at least has the decency to be consistent every month.
