Brother Demands Family Perks Without Lifting a Finger

We all have that one family member who seems to want all the benefits of a close-knit family without contributing anything themselves. In this story, a woman shares her frustration with her brother, who is in his early 30s, and his lack of empathy and willingness to help out their extended family. Despite this, he still expects the same level of care and attention from them.

In the end, the sister makes it clear to her brother that he can’t expect the same level of love and support from their family if he’s not willing to give it in return. He may think he’s a nice guy, but actions speak louder than words. It’s no surprise that the family is more inclined to help the sister, who has shown time and time again that she’s there for them. The brother may not have done anything wrong, but he hasn’t done anything right either. It’s a classic case of reaping what you sow. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
