Is She Right, or a ‘Spoiled Brat’?

Family comes with a lot of responsibilities. Some we know to expect, and others we are unprepared for or don’t think we deserve. There are a lot of stories about children feeling entitled to their parents’ properties, wealth, and so on.

Granted, they raised them and provided for their every need up to that point. Still, some fail to realize that when their children get to a certain age, they become adults. They become their own person.

She Demanded Money for Babysitting Her Little Sister

OP is a 20-year-old lady with an 11-year-old sister. The weekend before, her grandfather passed away. Her parents flew out for his funeral. But they couldn’t travel with the 11-year-old.

The Trip

OP agreed to watch her. However, it was not going to be for free. Who doesn’t love a business-minded person? Her younger sister was going to spend the weekend in her apartment while their parents were away.

Her sister stayed for the weekend, and for that weekend, she spent quite an amount of money. She had to buy kid-friendly groceries, but in the end, they had a lot of fun together. I’d see that as a free (well, not free) opportunity to bond with her sister.

Contract Breach

The weekend would soon come to an end, and on Sunday night, her parents were there to pick them up. They started to leave without paying her, and she reminded them about the agreement.

Acting Spoiled Instead of honoring the agreement, OP’s parents told her that she was acting like a spoiled brat. They said she shouldn’t act like watching her sister and helping her sister was a chore. And with that, they left.
