My entitled brother gets anything that he wants while I'm treated like the black sheep of the family,

0:04.8

constantly kick to the curb while my brother doesn't have to lift a finger and work for anything. But after dealing with this and my brother's temper tantrums and outbursts anytime he doesn't get what he wants, I seriously feel like I'm at my breaking point because right now I really don't know what to do. Here's what happened. Okay, for a bit of

0:20.8

reference, my family is a tight-knit, good-loving Christian family. However, I am feeling betrayed

0:26.1

due to my younger brother taking advantage of my parents' kindness. He gets anything he wants

0:30.8

pretty much. While I have to work my butt off for it, I saved up for five years to buy a lawnmower

0:35.6

to earn more money and bought my very own VR headset for about $300 a year later.

0:41.0

However, my parents manipulated me into letting my brother use it and then he broke it.

0:45.6

I was devastated beyond belief. I told my parents that he needed to pay for it and they initially agreed,

0:51.1

but instead they just let him off with a talking to and my parents bought me a new one.

0:55.4

To add salt to the wound, they bought him a better headset with guards and extra battery

0:59.8

for $800 for his birthday, while I was told anything above $100 would have to be my own money.

1:06.2

I fixed up a computer I bought over the course of a year and my parents got my brother

1:10.3

a brand new PC

1:11.4

for nearly $1,000 spontaneously a few weeks later. If I buy a phone, my brother gets a phone

1:17.3

with unlimited data and an arcade subscription. I'll pay $60 for a World of Warcraft

1:22.2

subscription, but my brother gets it for free and never uses it. If I buy a game, he gets the same

1:27.4

game for free. If I get a new game, he gets the same game for free.

1:28.3

If I get a new monitor, he gets a new monitor for free. It might not be so bad if it weren't for the fact that he also does no housework. My parents help some, but a lot of it gets pushed to me that my brother is supposed to do. My brother got a dog, which I'm allergic to, by the way, and my parents justified it because they gave me a beat-up old Ford Ranger that still doesn't work a year later.

1:48.7

I had to get an allergy test, which put me out of school for two weeks, and now I have to make up a ton of schoolwork, keep up with Envisaline, do most of the indoor and outdoor chores, but still, my parents complained that I'm in my room too much.

2:01.4

And this is despite the fact that my brother was failing three classes with a zero percent for months,

2:06.6

and yet he gets to stay in his room on VR all day. I also get sick very often for having an

2:11.9

awful immune system. The only way I'm allowed to stay home is if I throw up or if I'm in
