His Parents Gave His Sister Their Childhood Home And Acted Like He Was Selfish When He Got Upset, So Now He Won’t Help Them Move Or Renovate Their New Property
Throughout this 33-year-old man’s entire life, he’s always had a complicated relationship with his parents. He has a younger sister named Lily, who’s now 30, and while they were kids, it was clear to him that she was the “favorite” in their family.
According to him, his parents were always more lenient with Lily. They also provided her with more opportunities and were happy to help her out financially – which they never did for him.
“I accepted it over the years, figuring it was just the way things were,” he recalled.
However, just a few months ago, his parents decided they wanted to downsize and move into a smaller house. The real kicker? Instead of just selling their current property, which is his childhood home, they opted to give the house to Lily – and he got absolutely nothing.
His parents supposedly claimed that his sister needed it “more” than he did since she plans to start a family soon and could benefit from some additional space.
“And they didn’t offer me anything – not even a conversation about it,” he added.
This whole situation was extremely upsetting for him, too, because he and his wife are already planning to buy a house in the near future, and they would have really appreciated some help from his parents.
He even tried to bring this up and talk to them about his feelings, yet his parents actually just brushed him off and claimed that Lily has always “needed more support.” Plus, when he admitted to feeling left out and hurt, they made it seem like he was simply acting selfish.
To make matters even worse, his parents then proceeded to reach out and ask him for help last week. They wanted some assistance completing renovations on their new property and wanted him to spend multiple weekends helping them move while conducting home repairs.

“All without any compensation or even acknowledgment of how unfair this situation feels to me,” he revealed.
That’s why he flat-out told his parents no and made it clear that he wasn’t willing to help them after they had just given his childhood home entirely to his sister.
Perhaps surprisingly, his parents were somehow caught off guard by this and accused him of being both ungrateful and petty. His sister also got involved and blamed him for sparking “unnecessary drama.”
This has left him and his family on thin ice. His parents have been barely speaking to him, and some other family members have gotten involved.
“Telling me I’m overreacting and that I should just help them out because ‘family comes first,'” he vented.
Now, he can’t help but wonder if refusing to help his parents out after they favored his sister yet again was really so unreasonable or not.
How would you feel if your parents treated you like that and expected you to help them out afterward? Did he have a right to refuse?
