A House Half Full or Half Empty?
In this tale of sibling strife, what started as a well-intentioned plan to help a sister in financial distress quickly spiraled into a family feud. The protagonist, a single parent with three kids, was ready to move in and share the mortgage payments. But the sister’s unexpected ‘half the house’ rule — which included limited kitchen access and cramped sleeping arrangements — threw a wrench into the works. The ensuing negotiations broke down, leaving the protagonist to search for a new home and the sister potentially facing the loss of hers. This story leaves us wondering: Is sharing always caring? And when does the line between helping and hindering blur? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
Both parties being unreasonable in dividing the house, but backing out is the right move.
