We've all heard of family members helping each other out in times of need, but what happens when that generosity is taken advantage of? One woman (29F) is struggling with this dilemma after housing her brother (23M) and his girlfriend (21F) for eight months. The couple moved in when they were both unemployed and facing disapproval from their parents. The sister thought it would be a temporary arrangement, but now she's left to work, cook, and clean for them while they show no signs of improvement. To make matters worse, the girlfriend is now pregnant, and they expect the sister to provide for their growing family! 😱🤰

Pushed to the Limit: Sister's Generosity Tested 🚧
This woman's patience is wearing thin as she continues to house her brother and his pregnant girlfriend. Despite her efforts to encourage them to find jobs and take responsibility, they remain unemployed and expect her to provide for their growing family. The situation has escalated to the point where she's considering kicking her brother out, hoping it will force him to finally step up. While she understands the potential consequences of her actions, she's left wondering if she's being too harsh or if it's time to put her foot down. 💔🤔
