Entitled family expects 18-year-old daughter to continue being the go-to caretaker for her grandmother, but she refuses to continue the cycle: ‘I'm tired of doing everything’

The youngest of the family is either the child everyone forgets about or the person to whom everyone dumps their troubles and worries; there is no in-between.

If you are on the younger end of your family tree, you have likely experienced some iteration of being the somehow forgotten problem-solver. It's great to know that your loved ones place great value on your ability to keep it together, but this altruistic flattery wanes each time they forget that you're a person, too, with real responsibilities that extend beyond the family dynamic.

When you're 18 years old, the world is your oyster. You are a legal adult, and you can finally consider yourself independent from your parents. Even though the legal system deems you old enough to support yourself, times are tough. Moving out isn't always an option, and when parents keep a roof over your head, you live by their rules. Some of these regulations are tougher than others, and in the story you're about to read, they go beyond the typical mowing of the lawn and washing of the dishes. How about being your grandmother's sole caretaker?
