When parents expect their eldest child to act like a parent to their younger siblings, it can cause resentment and strain on the relationship. In this case, the big sister was expected to drop everything to attend to her siblings’ needs, even if it meant sacrificing her own plans or obligations. Now that she has moved out, her entitled younger sister still expects her to provide for her every whim, including taking her shopping and buying her an expensive prom dress. When the big sister finally stands up for herself and refuses to be treated like a parent, her family turns against her. But is she really in the wrong? Let’s take a look at some of the comments and reactions to this contentious issue.
