In this case, a 16-year-old boy had to take on the motherly role to his three younger sisters after their mom passed away due to complications with the twins. The boy’s father was struggling with grief and didn’t step up to the plate. As the boy grew older, he continued caring for his sisters, but his father still wasn’t there for them. When his younger sisters started their periods, the dad didn’t know how to handle it, and the boy had to step in again. This led to a confrontation between the two, and the boy told his dad he needed to step up and be a better parent. Read on to find out what happened and whether or not the boy was in the wrong.

After the death of their mother due to complications with the twins, a 16-year-old boy takes on the responsibility of looking after his three younger sisters. He became their brother-mom and had been caring for them since his father struggled with grief. Recently, his younger sisters started their periods, and their father was pretty clueless about handling it. When the boy tried to explain it, his father refused to listen, leading to a telling match. The boy confronted his father and told him to stop using their mom’s death as an excuse to be a bad father. Things got worse when the boy’s aunt showed up and called him an ungrateful little c**t. Despite his apology, the boy is bitter and doesn’t want to talk to his father. Read on for the comments and reactions to this heartbreaking story.
