Our protagonist was sending a generous $1,300 a month to her parents, only to find out they were giving $200 of it to her party-loving brother. She decided to reduce their allowance by the same amount, sparking a family feud. Her mom accused her of being a crappy daughter and sister, while her brother confronted her about the reduced funds.
