Brother Invites Sister To Live With Him After Parents Charge Her Rent At 18

When a high school kid is being charged rent and utilities by her parents, what should her older sibling do? That’s the dilemma facing one Reddit user, who offered her sister a place to stay for a lower rent. But the parents didn’t take kindly to the sister moving across the country to live with her sibling, accusing the older sibling of ruining the younger sister’s future.

Is the older sibling in the wrong for trying to help her sister out in this situation ? Or are the parents being unreasonable by charging rent to a high school kid? Scroll down to find out more.

When parents start charging their high school daughter rent, her older brother steps in to offer her a place to stay. Despite her parents’ disapproval, he offers her a room in his home for free, but she decides she wants to pay $200 a month instead, which he plans to save for her future trade school classes.

However, his parents are angry that he is moving their daughter across the country and not letting them control her decisions. The question is, is he in the wrong for wanting to give his sister a better start to adulthood, or are his parents overstepping their boundaries by charging a high school student rent and trying to control her decisions?
