17-year-old refuses to give his parents $250 for his 8-year-old brother's Christmas present after years of favoritism: 'He might cry all day Christmas, but still my answer is no.'

He's not going to support his parents' decision to marginalize him within the family unit. 

Nobody chooses the family they're born into. If we had the choice, I'm sure almost everyone would choose the richest, most emotionally stable, and happiest family in the world. It would be borderline impossible to quantify those qualities, but let's say, for the sake of argument, that they exist, and pre-born souls could choose to be born into said family. It's probably a good thing we can't choose our families, because even the wealthiest, happiest, and most mentally well families can't handle 7 billion children. If the best parents in the world had more than 20 children, they probably wouldn't qualify as the best parents in the world anymore. It's for the best that we can't choose our parents: maybe it's not the best for every individual, but it's for the best for humanity as a whole.

The worst part of not being able to choose your parents is that there are so many parents in the world who are totally unfit. If you didn't already know, it's relatively easy, all things considered, to create a living human person. You'd think the responsibility of caring for and raising human life would be a little more gatekept, but gatekeeping parenthood only further decreases the birth rate more than it has already decreased. If you log into your Facebook and see which of the kids you went to high school with are procreating, you'll understand once and for all that becoming a parent really is for anyone. If Jessica Flood can be a mom, then truly anyone can be a mom.
