19F stands up to parents, refuses to be free nanny during uni orientation week

A 19-year-old girl, who has been expected to look after her 5-year-old brother since birth, stood up to her parents who demanded she is a free nanny during the crucial orientation week for her university. Despite her parent’s disapproval, she refuses to sacrifice the opportunity to make new friends and get important information by prioritizing her brother over herself. After seeking advice from her grandma, who was on her side, she called her mom to explain that the situation doesn’t feel fair to her. Her grandma then talked to her mom and told her off, which led to her mom apologizing to her. The grandma is now coming to take care of the brother, and the girl agreed to help whenever she has time and is getting paid as well. While she doesn’t want to completely cut off ties with her parents, she thinks it’s best to go low contact for a while until things settle. The girl’s story raises questions about the burden of responsibility on older siblings and the importance of setting boundaries with parents.
