| 0:00.0 | 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 |
