“Alice and OP’s brother sound like terrible people. Especially considering that they DID complain to OP about having her kids over after school. And it’s not a comparable situations: OP had a kid at 16 and is raising them on 1 income in a single-parent household. Brother & Alice have a 2 income 2 parent household and had their kids as adults when they had started their careers and were financially secure. If OP stops working, what will her kids eat? Where will they live? Exactly.”
